I’m just in awe at this point:

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) hit the bar this weekend and violated her own coronavirus orders, according to a photo Breitbart News has exclusively obtained.

Whitmer and a large group of friends, including her appointed chief operations officer, Tricia Foster, visited the Landshark in East Lansing, violating her restaurant orders in the process, according to a photo one of the attendees posted on Facebook.

The photo, posted Saturday, was part of a montage. Shortly after, Whitmer’s friend deleted the collage and reposted it sans the governor and one of her top aides.

So to review, Whitmer instituted one of the harshest and most capricious lockdowns in the country, usurped power from the legislature after they tried to intervene, her glorious husband got caught trying to leverage his position to get his boat put out on the water in violation of COVID rules, she then violated the rules herself by marching socially undistanced at a Black Lives Matter rally, she trampled her own travel advisories by taking a trip to Florida to see her sick father, her top aide was revealed to have also gone to Florida, her health director found time to venture to Alabama, it came out that Whitmer had fishily dipped into her transition fund to pay for multiple flights on private planes…and now, just for good measure, she’s gone and pulled a Gavin Newsom.

I’m from a northeastern state responsible for plenty of corruption and I’ve never seen anything like this. The woman is putting on a clinic in how power corrupts and the ruling class can’t be trusted. She’s like a supervillain in some libertarian graphic novel.

Now across the map to Pennsylvania:

Much has been made recently about “learning the lessons of COVID.” One of those lessons is surely: don’t give governors untrammeled and unexpiring emergency powers. As the pandemic finally comes to a close, it’s time for more democratic and legislative pushback like this.
