Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is facing criticism from lawmakers after her husband reportedly requested the family’s boat be placed on the water ahead of Memorial Day celebrations.

Whitmer has imposed some of the strictest lockdown regulations in the United States, prompting widespread protests throughout Michigan. Congressman Paul Mitchell is suing Whitmer over the governor’s CCP virus-related emergency orders that he said violate the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches, and also people’s rights to association, intrastate travel, and commerce.
