After She “Received Death Threats” Michigan Governor Says ANY Protester Holding Firearm Will Be Arrested
Right Journalism ^ | 05.13.2020 | Natalie Dagenhardt

Posted on 05/13/2020 12:00:50 PM PDT by USA Conservative

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.

The only death threats I heard being made were made against President Trump. Nothing was done.

Exactly. Before it was only the ‘stay at home’ orders. Now she’ll get the ire of every 2A loving citizen.

She’s not very bright. Keep digging Whitler!

Does not matter unless the same person made the threat that is carrying the firearm.

In all seriousness.... it’s pretty idiotic brandishing weapons at a lockdown protest. Don’t act like a hill billy and you won’t be treated like one

” 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. “

Unless 5,000 of them show up armed.

The state police won’t touch that. Neither would the NG.

SOMEBODY would be sure to resist, and there’s no tellin’ how that would end up.

POTUS and Barr *could* declare that they will agressively enforce this, and setup a hotline to report violators.

But they won't.

They had the right to carry to the last protest. But no offense, What does carry weapons for a Reopen business protest accomplish?

It is about the optics. If you want to walk around carry weapons at a protest that has nothing to do with gun control go for it, it is their lawful prerogative. Just don’t expect me to understand what is being protested and end goal of the protest. They have completely lost their message.. mission failed, no accomplishment.

If the protest is about gun control that is another story.
