Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Sunday tried to clarify her state’s sweeping executive order that barred large stores such as Walmart or Target from selling items deemed nonessential after a widely shared photo allegedly showed a Walmart blocking the sale of car seats for children.

Whitmer, a Democrat, responded to a message from “The View” co-host Meghan McCain over the weekend.
