Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) has finally acknowledged that some of her authoritarian COVID orders were ridiculous. Unfortunately for her, everyone else knew this three years ago, when she first put those orders in place.
Speaking with Chris Wallace, Whitmer acknowledged that “there were moments where we had to make some decisions that in retrospect don't make a lot of sense.” For example, her restrictions on gardening supplies. “You could go into the hardware store, but we didn’t want people all congregating around the gardening supplies,” Whitmer said. She tried to downplay it, claiming that “people said, ‘Oh, she outlawed seeds.’ It was February in Michigan. No one was planting anyway.
— RNC Research March 13, 2023 The gaslighting here is simply breathtaking. The orders were in late March/early April and were so unclear that some stores put caution tape around entire aisles to not risk noncompliance. A bit of humility would be nice. https://t.co/vVrnSLBhZM But, more importantly, her decision was clearly anti-science and authoritarian when she made it in March 2020. Kaylee McGhee White detailed how ludicrous this was for the Washington Examiner on March 13, 2020, explaining that you could buy chalk from Lowe’s but not paint and buy a brand new TV from Walmart but not a couch. “At both stores, home gardening supplies were completely off limits,” she wrote.
