when he asked a boat contractor whether his status as Michigan's"First Gentleman" would help him get his boat in the water ahead of the Memorial Day weekend."It didn't, and to be honest, I wasn't laughing either when it was relayed to me because I knew how it would be perceived."Whitmer said her husband regrets what he said and called on Michiganders to show kindness and empathy as the state deals with the COVID-19 pandemic that will be around for some time.
Republican State Sen. Tom Barrett said Monday he felt he unknowingly became part of a cover-up of the incident, having removed his Facebook post about the incident Friday night after officials in Whitmer's office reached out to him through the Senate Republican leader's office to say the allegations made by an owner of the boat company were untrue.
Tad Dowker, an owner of NorthShore Dock, said in a widely circulated Facebook post late last week Mallory contacted his company about getting a boat in the water at the family's northern Michigan cottage ahead of the Memorial Day weekend. Because it was a holiday weekend and the company was three weeks behind because of the stay home order, there was"no chance" that would happen, Dowker said in the post.

Can’t politicians just be honest? He tried to take advantage of his position. She needs to tell the truth. He needs to apologize. Why don’t politicians understand that we appreciate honesty so much more than the never ending lies.
All politicians. Do as I say, but not what I do. Not only example across our great country.
