The astounding thing is that half the democrats are unable to comprehend this sort of hypocrisy and just how pathetic it is (so, some sort of IQ problem). Another quarter doesn't care--anything anyone with a "D" by his or her or its name does is golden. And the last quarter does this sort of thing purposely as a flaunting kind of deal--"Looky here, unwashed knaves, at what I can do and you cannot! And here is my middle finger and a smile to make it even more infuriating... best of all, you can't do a THING about it unless you want to end up in prison! Ha ha ha ha..."

No shortage of hypocrites in politics.

Meh.

The trip happened 2-3 weeks before she publicly warned Michiganders againts traveling to FL. Whether she stayed longer than her office claimed is irrelevant, IMO. The usage of the private plane is now well known - if there are any legal or ethical questions surrounding that, I'm certain the GOP controlled state Congress will be all over it.

The same goofy heifer that told Michiganders to not travel north last Memorial Day, because covid, you know. But whose husband tried to get their boat in the water because... they were going north.

Our Governor shut schools when we had like 15 cases, demanded they open when we were getting a thousand a day.
Our Govenor mandated masks, shut downs, etc...and then traveled to Washington DC for a Christmas party -- brought the COVID back with him to his home state -- both he and his wife had it.

Yup politicians are hypocritical, inconsistent morons....and we vote them into office.

Left and right, political leaders are hypocrites.

and they are ignorant of most things, but people choose to put them in office and heed their words once they do.

"OK" with it? No. Unsurprised by it? Yes. Your faux outrage is noted, though.

After the previous administration, the bar for "lying" by pols was raised significantly. This isn't anywhere close.

If it wasn't for double standards, Democrats wouldn't have any at all.
