The group had pushed several tables together to form one large table.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cMichigan restaurants and bars are still subject to capacity limits and social distancing requirements,\u201d The Detroit Free Press <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freep.com\/story\/news\/local\/michigan\/2021\/05\/23\/whitmer-violating-social-distancing-rules-landshark-bar-grill\/5234473001\/\">reported<\/a>. \u201cCurrent orders require six people or fewer at tables and distances of six feet between tables.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The photo was posted to social media by one of the people who attended the event, but was later deleted. Breitbart News was the first to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/05\/23\/exclusive-photo-gretchen-whitmer-violates-own-coronavirus-orders-at-dive-bar\/\">report<\/a> the story.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Whitmer admitted that she made a mistake and apologized:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"14\">\n<p><em>Throughout the pandemic, I\u2019ve been committed to following public health protocols. Yesterday, I went with friends to a local restaurant. As more people arrived, the tables were pushed together. Because we were all vaccinated, we didn\u2019t stop to think about it. In retrospect, I should have thought about it. I am human. I made a mistake, and I apologize.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ted Goodman, Communications Director for the Michigan Republican Party, slammed Whitmer over the incident, saying that businesses had suffered under her pandemic restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGov. Whitmer admitted that she broke her own COVID rules and is asking for leniency but what about the countless small businesses and mom-and-pop shops fined, and in some cases shutdown [sic], by Whitmer?\u201d Goodman asked. \u201cFor Gov. Whitmer it\u2019s rules for thee, but not for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
