Speaker 1: The ruler of Michigan, Governor Gretchen Whitner, graciously generously allowing
Speaker 1: restaurants to resume indoor dining. She took credit for the
Speaker 1: state's COVID numbers dropping due to the targeted temporary pause
Speaker 1: that she ordered in November. She thanked all of those
Speaker 1: who made incredible sacrifices and did their part. She said,
Speaker 1: she knows the pandemic has hurt restaurant owners and workers
Speaker 1: and their families. Governor Whitmer, the pandemic hurt those who
Speaker 1: got the coronavirus. What hurt restaurant owners and workers and
Speaker 1: their families was the tyrannical response to the pandemic from
Speaker 1: Democrat governors like you. Other governors like Christy nom South Dakota,
Speaker 1: run to Santas, Florida chose a different path. They allowed
Speaker 1: businesses to stay open and guess what when it comes
Speaker 1: to coronavirus cases, their states are doing better than the
Speaker 1: states that shut down the economy and threw thousands of
Speaker 1: people out of work and forced many business owners to
Speaker 1: lose their livelihoods. Now it's easy for Democrat governors like
Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer, Andrew Cuomo, and Gavin Knewsome to say thanks
Speaker 1: giving up service to those who made incredible sacrifices during
Speaker 1: this pandemic. Meanwhile, their business politics never shut down. You
Speaker 1: noticed that government workers never missed a paycheck and never
Speaker 1: lost a job to COVID. Only the little people had
Speaker 1: to worry about that.
