Top Whitmer Official Overseeing Vaccine Distribution Defies Governor’s Warning Of Vacationing In Florida

April 12, 2021

Governor Gretchen Whitmer warned against spring break travel to Florida just days ago but Tricia Foster, the state’s Chief Operating Officer in charge of the vaccine rollout is vacationing on a beach in the Sunshine State this week. 

Whitmer is no stranger to flouting COVID rules. She attended Biden’s inauguration in person with over 2,000 people after limiting outdoor gatherings in Michigan to 25 or fewer people. Last year, Whitmer’s “husband wanted his boat placed in the water before the Memorial Day weekend as Whitmer urged residents not to rush to the region” the Detroit News reported.

Friday morning, Whitmer announced that President Joe Biden rejected her plea for more vaccines to be sent to Michigan as the state leads the nation in new COVID cases. 

Whitmer asked schools to voluntarily switch to remote learning following spring break and the state’s largest teachers union president is pushing for “schools to suspend in-person learning due to spring break travel.”

“Whitmer’s top aide in charge of vaccines vacationing in Florida after Whitmer warned Michiganders not to travel there is another example of liberal hypocrisy during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Tori Sachs, executive director of Michigan Rising Action. “Michiganders are tired of the orders and warnings that Whitmer and her administration refuse to follow themselves.”
