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

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 was on the menu, and MI voters ordered her.

Better not be caught sleeping in November, or it’s Fool Me Twice.

Here is how it goes down.

A couple thousand show up carrying fire arms, or a few hundred-doesnt matter how many.

The security and police form a human barrier and start to indicate force.

Someone fires a shot into the air...

Can you imagine having to work for that power mad, fascist, narcissistic b***h? There wouldn’t be enough money in the world.

I’m not crazy about my Governor but I thank God that I’m not a subject of Queen Whitler.

The simplest explanation is most often the correct one.

It looks like 1,057,752 signatures are needed.

"The number of valid signatures required to force a recall election is equal to 25 percent of the number of people who voted in the last preceding election for the office of governor of Michigan in the electoral district of the officer for whom a recall is sought."

According to Wikipedia, the total 2018 gubernatorial turnout was 4,231,009 votes.

It is completely inexplicable why Whitmer hasn’t reopened the Northern peninsula of Michigan completely.

Betcha it’s Antifa making the death threats and she’s in on it using it as an excuse to arrest law abiding citizens.

I can see this turning into a Waco style blood bath. Somewhere in her government will be those just itching to kill someone, and that bunch will be the butchers she employs.

I hope it does not happen, but did anyone see Waco coming?

I'll believe there was a death threat if she turns up dead. I will then be appropriately apologetic.

Democrats lie.

Two of my adult kids live in Michigan. One of apolitical, single and doesn’t own a gun.

I had my son take one of his firearms and just drop it off at her apartment. He also took her to the range.

She called to thank me and I told her that she needed to keep it just in case the social order breaks down.

I never once imagined that the Governess would be the cause of such breakdown.

"What does carry weapons for a Reopen business protest accomplish?"

It reminds the government where final veto power truly resides, and that they operate with our permission, not the other way around.

It’s inexplicable why north of Bay City isn’t open.

Of course many of these governors are insane power grab freaks.

One county in Maryland has had a whopping SIX CASES and is shut tight. Our governor is a Republican, on paper.

He’s truly a coward.

Sorry pal, being governor is hard. You fail.

I agree, but brandishing weapons distracts from the ‘’lockdown argument’ In other words the story becomes the weapons... not the protest.

Be smart!!!
