During Tuesday’s debate, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer bragged that she only kept schools closed for three months during the COVID pandemic.
It’s weird to brag about a complete lie. No stretching of the truth. It’s 100% a lie.
Whitmer closed schools in March 2020. She closed schools again in November 2021:
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration extended on Monday the closure of some Michigan businesses, the halt on indoor dining at restaurants and the suspension of in-person instruction at high schools through Dec. 20 as COVID-19 surges on.The Democratic governor announced the 12-day extension during a Monday afternoon press briefing, drawing criticism from Republican lawmakers and business groups that wanted the most intrusive of the current restrictions lifted. The initial three-week “Pause to Save Lives” order was originally set to end at 11:59 p.m. Tuesday.The expiration date is now 11:59 p.m. Dec. 20, five days before Christmas. But Whitmer is already discouraging people from gathering for the holiday.
In January 2021, she urged schools to reopen by March 1.
So that’s what? Seven months total?
Michigan gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon called out Whitmer. School choice advocate Corey DeAngelis brought more receipts.
