Michigan governor says protests 'make it likelier' stay-at-home orders will stay in place longer

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Wednesday that the protests in the state's capital city against state measures meant to limit the spread of the coronavirus make it more likely that the state will have to keep restrictions in place longer.

Appearing Monday on ABC's "The View," Whitmer, a Democrat, was asked about the pushback against her administration's coronavirus restrictions. There have been multiple protests in the state's capital city of Lansing in the past few weeks, including one late last month that saw protesters -- some of them armed -- entering the state Capitol, screaming at law enforcement officers and not adhering to social distancing guidelines or wearing masks.

While she respects people's right to dissent, Whitmer said, the protesters are putting people at risk. "The fact of the matter is, these protests -- in a perverse way -- make it likelier that we are going to have to stay in a stay-at-home posture," she said, going on to encourage anyone with a platform to call on people to "do the right thing."

Cuomo may be a prick but he does not appear to be irrational to me.

i now understand how God hardened the heart of pharaoh

he doesnt actually do it directly, its indirectly,through events and others, and the leaders’ reactions (ie on their pride) that causes the person to do it to themselves

This harpie is a real idiot. People will get to her bigtime, legally and she is toast politically. Very stupid woman-- who is full of herself and her central need for power over others. She had better pay attention, but she won't. Michigan people are tough. Great tradition of outdoorsmen, and heritage. Trump has sent her tweet suggestions that she "listen, and react to her great people in the State"... she of course ignored him. She continues with her tyranny comparable to Elena Ceaușescu of Romania. People are hot enough to give her the same treatment the Romanians gave Elena (and her hubby).

OK. If we call on someone to do the right thing, and they do the right thing, she will wish she never asked.

When you actively disagree with a Democrat, you must be punished. It’s in the blood of liberalism.

Whitmer: I’ll teach you what happens if you defy your mother. Just for that I’ll ground you another three months. And no Netflix or video games. Go back to your room, wise guy.

We the few good MI people hate her.

Haven’t seen latest poll but she was wildly popular (!!) after announcing first extensions of lockdowns.

Cuomo in NY is now at 72% approval by the NY morons.

Hit us again, harder, oooh that feels good. Duhhhh.

Hillary was going to win big in Michigan. I do not trust those polls. They may have oversampled in Detroit and Ann Arbor to get their desired result. New York? Forget it.

"Michigan governor says protests 'make it likelier' stay-at-home orders will stay in place longer"

She expects her victims to be singing a happy song on their way to the ovens.

And she has now regained her lead in the Worst Governor competition.

True. She always dreamed of making something of herself. She did---a total fool.

Coming really soon----A combination of protests, average people saying "I'm bored, I'm going to have a big party in my backyard" and the sudden realization that with no enterprises open there is no tax money coming in and no government being funded and no more US bailouts on the way and people WANT TO GET BACK TO WORK.
