A day after armed protesters against Michigan’s stay-at-home order entered the statehouse in Lansing, Donald Trump once again expressed support for the rightwing movement.
Michigan’s Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer, should he said: “make a deal” with the demonstrators.
“The governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire,” the president wrote in a tweet on Friday morning. “These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely! See them, talk to them, make a deal.”
She didn’t listen to the President’s advice. Protestors in Michigan planning to rally at the state Capitol on Thursday are being warned that if they bring firearms to the event they will be arrested.
On Monday, Whitmer said she respected people’s rights to protest but was becoming ‘increasingly concerned about the violent nature of the comments being made’ and the ‘extreme rhetoric already connected to Thursday’s rally.’
She has requested that if people decide to protest that they wear masks and practice social distancing.
Whitmer’s comments came after gun-toting militia protesters joined a larger group demanding that she reopen parts of the state’s economy in a demonstration last week. The protesters spilled inside the Capitol, where armed demonstrators confronted police officers and insisted on being allowed onto the House floor as lawmakers debated an extension of her emergency powers.
Allegedly several members of the groups planning on attending the rally called for the assassination of Governor Gretchen Whitmer which saw one man writing: ‘Can we please just take up a collection for an assassin to put that woman from Michigan down.’
Under current state law, it is legal to take firearms inside the Capitol, because Michigan is an open-carry state.

She’s itching for a fight. Scratch her out.
This governor is issuing proclamations and directives that are ruining the lives and financial status of her AMERICAN citizens. She is getting angry.
Once before, Americans were driven to the bitter edge. The results are still in the history books. In some states even taught in the schools.
“Beware the actions of he/she who is slow to finally erupt”

Wonder what she thinks of Antifa?
Impeach her Michigan!
Democratic Nationalist gubner Krotchen Wit-less declares the people of Michigan her subjects.
That did not have a good reason to carry guns to the last protest now they do. It just became a Second Amendment protest...
Exactly.
I hope these guys who went out with their guns have always understood that she could “call their bluff”. Now they should call her bluff...assuming they weren’t bluffing to begin with.
The petition drive has begun, 330,000 signatures will do it.
im in Michigan...everybody, and i mean everybody is armed here...shes playing with fire....
Suspending the second Amendment seems extremely unconstitutional. What will Michiganders do? Recall election?
Try it.
But I think she’s actually trying to provoke violence...for example, if her storm troopers try to arrest somebody just standing there and he resists at all and they shoot him, things are going to get very bad very fast. I think there should be some kind of injunction against her.
If any death threats were made she or her associates were who made them.
Showing her true colors: take guns from non-violent honest citizens while leaving them in the hands of violent criminals.
She better be ready for the big igloo.
Do they need a reason in a right to carry state? It is their lawful prerogative.
Lumping arse at that.
Black Lives Matter can riot, burn storefronts, mercilessly attack anyone appearing different, murder cops and not a word from this whore of Babylon.
Interesting isn’t it?
Has she had her Reichstag moment yet?
