Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer vacationed to Florida during Michigan’s Covid-19 surge while telling Michiganders to stay home and avoid travel.
Whitmer specifically attacked Floridians and blamed “snow birds” traveling from the Sunshine State into Michigan for her state’s Covid surge.
Tiffany Brown, a spokeswoman for Whitmer, gives few details about Whitmer’s trip. The governor’s spokesperson confirmed on Monday that Whitmer took a “personal trip” to Florida last month during spring break!

But Brown denied the allegation. Brown said Whitmer “did not go on spring break,” but traveled “to assist her elderly father who is battling a chronic illness,” according to a report from Detroit Free Press.
