On Thursday, after Michigan Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer marched with demonstrators in response to the death of George Floyd, triggering criticism because she has vociferously championed the idea of social distancing, her spokeswoman, Tiffany Brown, dismissed the charge that her boss had violated her own executive order issued earlier in the week stating people should remain six feet apart when participating in public gatherings. “Whitmer drew criticism after she stood shoulder to shoulder with some march participants, who included Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan,” The Detroit News reported.
The executive order stated, “Persons may engage in expressive activities protected by the First Amendment within the State of Michigan, but must adhere to social distancing measures recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including remaining at least six feet from people from outside the person’s household.”
