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.”

The only swastikas I saw were on the uniform of a parody Governor Whitler in the signs people were carrying...It was a joke, depicting the Governor as a Nazi.

One that evidently struck a chord.

“She’s a Commie”

You are 100% right, Gretchen Whitmer is a communist. However it is distinction without a difference. Most people don’t know that the word ‘Nazi’ is just the way to pronounce the acronym for ‘National Socialist’ in German.

The greatest trick the Soviet Union propagandist ever pulled was convincing the world that Nazis were not socialists.
