Gov. Whitmer: Michigan Lockdown Protesters ‘Depicted Some of the Worst Racism’ in U.S. History
Breitbart ^ | 5/3/20 | Pam Key

Posted on 05/03/2020 2:59:09 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) accused Michigan protesters last week of depicting “some of the worst racism” in America’s history.

According to the Michigan governor, those protesting her coronavirus measures had “swastikas, Confederate flags, nooses.”

Whitmer said, “We know that people are not all happy about having to take the stay-at-home posture, and you know what, I’m not either. The fact of the matter is we have to listen to epidemiologists and public health experts. Displays like the one we saw at the state capitol are not representative of who we are. There were swastikas, Confederate flags, nooses, people with assault rifles. That’s a small group of people. When you think about the fact that this is a state of almost 10 million people, the vast majority of whom are doing the right thing, that’s why we’ve seen our curve gets pushed down. We’ve saved lives in the process. We have to keep listening to the epidemiologists and experts and not listen to the partisan rhetoric, or these political rallies or tweets, for that matter. We have to keep doing the next right thing.”

Hey Gov, What racist acts did they commit ?

This is called ‘button pushing’ - symbols meant to be provocative to a certain political spectrum. (See Constitution chapter 1 please Gov....)

SO Gov, next time the People see a Mao Jacket or a little Red book/flag or a Che shirt YOU will be ready to denounce those ‘racists’ also ?

Wearing and waving representative symbols of mass murdering communists should be equally horrible to YOU also - SHOULD THEY NOT ???

It is beyond belief that Northern Michigan is not open for business. “

Totally political. She’s not about to have a different standard tor mostly white up north then mostly black Detroit. Ridiculous of course because the cases are in the Detroit area.

Wait a minute, the protests are against her/it fascism, right? And she/it is White, right? So how the hell can it be racist? The democraps in their redefinition of racism totally dismissed Whites as victims of racism.

The problem is get she put that fake slander out there with no pushback. People hear it and believe it, no matter how much we complain between ourselves.

We are Peaching to the Choir while she gets away with preaching to the ignorant (who seem to be a majority based on the last few months)

Read a later post of mine in response to someone else and you’ll understand what I mean. I agree, she is a communist and so were the Nazis.

Was it a re-enactment or what? They represent themselves! History is for re-enacting, not protesting a rogue governor just a few days ago.

“The fact of the matter is we have to listen to epidemiologists and public health experts.”
Right there, is where she went off the road. We have the option to listen to them. We don’t HAVE TO listen to them, especially, when their globalist agenda is so plainly in sight. Freedom to assemble, pray, seek out our fortunes, is a Constitutional right. No public health nurse can usurp that.

Just read a thread about SNL, and “that woman from Michigan” giving us permission to to call her a *itch. Heil whitmer much more comes to mind when I think of “that woman”.

“One of the objectives of the Democrats is to bankrupt all private hospitals, so they can be taken over by government “in the public interest”.”

Gov. Cuomo, in his most recent not a fireside chat, was talking up needing to (paraphrasing), coordinate private hospitals with the public ones, so it will be one big system, meaning basically, a gov’t takeover of the private hospitals. It’s now one of the Dem talking points.

“Read a later post of mine in response to someone else and you’ll understand what I mean. I agree, she is a communist and so were the Nazis.”

The main difference between Fascism vs. Communism is that Communism nationalizes almost all major industry, financial institutions etc. to be run by the centralized State, whereas Fascists allow the oligarchs to maintain control of their businesses, but with tight restrictions and regulation by the State.

Oh, the caddy for sure, even chopped.
All I have left is a 75 chevy 292 pickup but it keeps
on running strong. Had my father’s 41 willys MB but
gave it to my brother so now he’s keeping it up.
Came off the line in the first week of the war!

Was the 292 original to the pickup? I was thinking they only put that whopper of an inline six in specialty vehicles like school buses and tow trucks.
