Even though Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has eased some of the coronavirus lockdown restrictions, she still has it out for barbers and hairdressers. Maybe she had some childhood trauma related to a haircut that explains her deep-seated hostility towards the industry.
According to The Daily Wire, Hair salons are still closed in Michigan and some desperate residents have fled to Ohio to get haircuts.
Well, the brilliant Governor Whitmer has a solution and a scolding for those folks.
“If you’re one of those people that’s going to Ohio I hope and pray that you are doing your part not to bring COVID-19 home. If you haven’t resorted to that, Google how to do a haircut, or throw your hair in a ponytail or curl it and get through the next couple of weeks so we can resume some of these things,” Whitmer said, according to MLive.
Whitmer was already facing criticism from salons and barbershops for leaving them out of Phase 4 of Michigan’s reopening, which allowed bars and restaurants to begin inviting guests inside.
Better yet, buy a Flowbee!
This woman is the ABSOLUTE WORST. There is zero chance she gets re-elected, right?
It’s funny that Whitmer thinks cutting hair is just as simple Googling it. If it’s really that simple, why does Whitmer’s state require barbers and cosmetologists to be licensed?
Mike Sarafa of the Alline Group and Kevin Lent of BAMF X2 expressed their dismay over Whitmer’s reopening plan.
“We are extremely frustrated by Governor Whitmer’s decision to open most of Michigan’s economy while keeping salons and barber shops closed,” the two wrote, adding that Safe Salons for Michigan had created a plan to allow salons and barbershops to reopen safely.
“Not only is this gutting the salon industry, but we are also losing business to neighboring states every day. We firmly believe we are safer open than closed. We urge Governor Whitmer to review our plan and allow licensed salons and barber shops to open immediately,” the press release said.

“I want to take this opportunity on behalf of the entire industry and the over 100,000 licensed cosmetologists and barbers in the state of Michigan, to ask the governor to apologize for this remark. She is speaking about the jobs of tens of thousands of Michigan voters that are either furloughed or unemployed,” Sarafa said while briefing state lawmakers on the Joint Select Committee on the COVID-19 Pandemic in Lansing on Tuesday. “It is insulting and degrading and a slap in the face to an industry already reeling from forced closures and shutdowns, and it is tone-deaf in the height of arrogance.”
Whitmer has been tone-deaf and arrogant throughout the whole pandemic. Why would she stop now?
Remember how unsupportive she was of the stay-at-home order protesters at the Michigan statehouse? That’s all changed. Whitmer is very supportive of the BLM/George Floyd protesters.

I often wonder when the law-abiding, average Americans are going to stand against all the liberal craziness in this country. When will we say ENOUGH?
Rush Limbaugh addressed this yesterday on his program. I’m afraid he is right in his analysis.
I had some people ask me last night, different people randomly, “Rush, when are the people of this country gonna rise up? When are the people that own these pieces of property gonna show up and go out and stop it? The cops aren’t gonna do it, and the National Guard and the military are not gonna be deployed.
“When are the American people gonna stand up and stop this?” I wrote back, “You realize what you’re asking me, don’t you? You’re asking me when the civil war starts…”
