Whitmer Apologizes after Picture Surfaces Showing Her Violating Social Distancing Guidelines

Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer apologized on Sunday after apparently violating the state’s pandemic restrictions during a gathering at a bar in East Lansing.

A photograph uploaded to social media by one of the attendees, and later deleted, showed Whitmer with over ten other people sitting around three tables that were pushed together. Current Michigan guidelines stipulate that bars and restaurants must limit table capacity to six people, and tables must be distanced by at least six feet.
