Gov. Gretchen Whitmer will receive the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation’s Special Profile in Courage Award for her pandemic response despite a recent surge in coronavirus cases.
“In the face of backlash and threats, @GovWhitmer invoked emergency powers to contain the spread of the virus, issuing early, controversial orders to close schools and businesses, mandate mask wearing, and ban large gatherings, among other measures to keep people safe,” the JFK library said of Whitmer on Tuesday.
Republicans in the state, however, have slammed Whitmer throughout her leadership during the pandemic, including this past week when the award was announced.
They pointed to Michigan’s high case rate of the virus, which hit 2 1/2 times the national case rate of 101.6 per 100,000 people this week.
“Michigan has the highest COVID-19 numbers in the country because of Whitmer’s failed pandemic response,” the communications director of the Michigan Republican Party, Ted Goodman, said. “Thousands of small businesses shut down, hundreds of thousands of children lost out on a proper education, and millions of Michiganders had their livelihoods upended — not because of COVID — but because of Whitmer’s response.”
