Whitmer Refuses To Answer Reporters On Who Paid For Private Plane For Florida Trip
Governor Gretchen Whitmer refused to answer a reporter today on who paid for a private plane for her controversial trip to Florida, saying, “I’ve said everything I’m going to say about my trip.”
Charlie LeDuff reported in Deadline Detroit: “Whitmer Mooches Billionaires’ Plane As Father Makes Miraculous Recovery.”
“When Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was outed last month for a secretive trip to Florida in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, her office claimed Michigan taxpayers did not foot the bill.”
“What they did not tell us, however, is that Whitmer asked a group of wealthy Detroit businessmen to provide a private plane they share.”
“Those businessmen have major dealings in and with the state of Michigan.”
Watch as Whitmer refused to answer questions on the Deadline Detroit report multiple times:
“Governor Whitmer’s refusal to say who paid for her controversial trip to Florida is another example of her ‘rules for thee but not for me’ mantra,” said Tori Sachs, executive director of Michigan Rising Action. “The people of Michigan deserve to know who paid for Whitmer’s trip to Florida.”
