Michigan Gov. Whitmer: Protests 'undermine' state's response to COVID-19 crisis
ABC news ^ | 5/13/20 | Kendall Karson

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who is charged with overseeing the critical battleground's response to the coronavirus, said the frequent protests overwhelming the state's capital against her stay-at-home order are undermining the effort to stem the spread of the deadly virus.

"These protests, they do undermine the effort, and it's very clearly a political statement that is playing out where people are coming together from across the state, they are congregating, they're not wearing masks, they are not staying six feet apart, and then they go back home into communities and the risk of perpetuating the spread of COVID-19 is real," she said on ABC's "The View" on Wednesday. "While I respect people's right to dissent, they need to do it in a way that is responsible and does not put others at risk."

I think that freedom loving people should bring pails of water to Lansing. The wicked witch Whitmer would be shaking, in her boots and melting.

To the millenial Freepers, Dorothy killed the witch with a pail of water, and she "melted".

Has anybody noticed that the classic "Wizard of Oz" has been off network TV.

The State’s response is unsustainable and wrong headed.

These leftists are, right before our faces, putting their own political desires, wishes and ambitions AHEAD of what is good for this country.

In fact there is no country to them anymore ONLY PARTY!

There is no crisis. None at all. We’re being played.

F’ You Whitmer. You’re not even smart enough to know you’re being used by your fascist party to try to destroy Trump politically. It’s all going to backfire in your stupid ugly face.

She wants to deny the people the right to peacefully assemble.

If the two special election results were any indication, the backfire is definitely happening.

Protests ‘undermine’ state’s response to COVID-19 crisis>>>>>>>>

When an elected official becomes a tyrant, they need the Bill of rights tattooed on their body where they can read it.

Exercising a 1st amendment right of freedom of speech is not
undermining a response to the COVID-19 Red China virus.

Michiganders want to shake off her tyranny and the tyranny caused by Communist Red China on our economy?

The twisted governor should plan on the best way to open immediately.

She is digging in her heels for the One World Socialists here i our country,and the Red Chinese, not for Michigan!

Make America Great Again....in 5 months!

It should be obvious to the governor the people of Michigan are fed up with her sh!t.

And they’re not going to take it anymore.

But...she’s a Democrat affirmative action retard and can’t see past what she’s told to do.
