Yesterday, while most of the country was focused on various elections, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer was in the news for remarks she made during an appearance on the Caleb Hammer Podcast.
Whitmer said that she doesn’t want to ‘relive’ the policies she put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic. Isn’t that a surprise? She probably hopes most of the voters forgot about them.
Michigan was one of the worst states for crazy Covid rules.

Gretchen Whitmer confronted on ‘weird’ COVID restrictions, says she did her best with poor information
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, D-Mich., was confronted about COVID-19 restrictions in Michigan during a conversation on Caleb Hammer’s “Financial Audit” show as the pair discussed the state’s finances.
“I was a little annoyed when I came home for Christmas two years in a row. Like we had to eat outside, but we were in inside pods outside. It was a little weird, then I came back here, and then I could just do whatever,” Hammer told Whitmer.
Hammer, who has more than 2.6 million subscribers on YouTube, has blunt conversations with guests about their finances on “Financial Audit,” and Whitmer was his first political guest, according to his social media. Hammer has invited other governors and federal officials to come on the show as well.
Whitmer agreed and said it was weird, and added, “Remember what the temperature was. Here [in Texas], you can walk around outside all day, right? But at home, in Michigan, in the winter, we’re all inside breathing on each other.”
“But if I was allowed to be inside outside, why couldn’t I just be inside inside?” Hammer asked.
Whitmer said that he was “inside outside” with just a small group of people, though Hammer added that he was around servers and busers as well.
“Listen, Caleb, none of us wants to go back and relive that. We were doing the best we could with very little or very bad information,” Whitmer said.

People reacted to this by saying that we actually need to relive it.
No, let’s relive it because nobody in charge ever really paid the price for what they did to us. https://t.co/KYnCOSSafB

My grandmother died alone.
Nobody could attend her funeral.
I assure you that I am interested in “reliving” that to ensure those responsible are held accountable https://t.co/zo9hv9nzMA

If Whitmer decides to run for president, all of this is going to be revisited. Same goes for Gavin Newsom.
