Whitmer was thrown into the national spotlight for her handling of the outbreak, and politicians on both sides of the aisle defended the governor as President Donald Trump lashed out at her for her comments about the federal government’s response. And tell her if she wants us to follow and trust her.she needs to trust us!” Tell her we agree.we need to dramatically restrict uncontrolled, casual gatherings and interactions. “Tell her we are doing our best to follow the new Big 3: hygiene-distancing-masks. Tell her we can be as safe at work (in most cases) as we can be at home,” Shirkey’s post said. The Michigan Senate majority leader, Mike Shirkey, used Facebook on Friday to accuse Whitmer of “DESTROYING OUR HEALTH BY KILLING OUR LIVELIHOODS.” Her reasoning for tightening the restrictions hasn’t stopped state politicians from piling on their complaints. We’re seeing our curve start to flatten, but we all have to continue doing our part.” She continued: “Unless it’s a life-sustaining activity, we’re asking people to stay home, to do their part and for a couple more weeks to buckle down. “That tells you we’ve got a unique crisis on our hands, and it demands a unique solution.”
“Michigan has the third most Covid-19 cases in the nation right now, and we’re not the third-largest state in the nation,” Whitmer said on NBC’s “Today” show on Wednesday. She should immediately reassess it.”īut Whitmer, who is running the state with the third most coronavirus cases in the nation, said Michigan’s crisis “demands a unique solution.” latest order goes too far and will erode confidence in her leadership. “But I have a constitutional duty to ensure states don’t trample on the rights of the people. “As a federal official, I do my best to stay out of state politics,” Amash tweeted. Justin Amash of Michigan, a former Republican-turned independent, also took to social media on Saturday to express his frustrations about the governor’s order. Right now, we’re not!” the Michigan House speaker, Lee Chatfield, posted on Twitter on Saturday. Essential in Michigan: Marijuana, lottery and alcohol. “Non-essential in Michigan: Lawn care, construction, fishing if boating with a motor, realtors, buying seeds, home improvement equipment and gardening supplies. The order has also affected grocery stores and department stores, some of which have roped off sections not deemed as essential to comply with Whitmer’s order. While people can still buy alcohol and lottery tickets in person, the order closes businesses that sell products such as hardware supplies and gardening seeds. The governor’s latest-stay-at-home order, which is scheduled to be in force through April 30, has been criticized as too restrictive and confusing for businesses. Though the list is advisory, Whitmer’s decision to tighten instead of loosen restrictions has sparked backlash from Republican legislators across the state. The Democratic governor last week issued one of the nation’s strictest stay-at-home orders amid the coronavirus pandemic, choosing to not align the state with a federal agency’s revised list of critical infrastructure, which would allow some Michiganders to return to work.
