Michigan Gov. Whitmer: Protests 'undermine' state's response to COVID-19 crisis
ABC news ^ | 5/13/20 | Kendall Karson

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who is charged with overseeing the critical battleground's response to the coronavirus, said the frequent protests overwhelming the state's capital against her stay-at-home order are undermining the effort to stem the spread of the deadly virus.

"These protests, they do undermine the effort, and it's very clearly a political statement that is playing out where people are coming together from across the state, they are congregating, they're not wearing masks, they are not staying six feet apart, and then they go back home into communities and the risk of perpetuating the spread of COVID-19 is real," she said on ABC's "The View" on Wednesday. "While I respect people's right to dissent, they need to do it in a way that is responsible and does not put others at risk."

ate, they are congregating, they're not wearing masks, they are not staying six feet apart, and then they go back home into communities and the risk of perpetuating the spread of COVID-19 is real,”

So...they can't spread Covid 19 at the liquor store? The grocery store? Or when they go buy lottery tickets all of which are still open?

“... the people of Michigan are fed up with her sh!t”

53% voted for her, and love if it hurts Trump.

But the 43% that voted against her are pissed. There will be a recall effort.

She jumped the shark when she banned motorized boating, just as boat fishing started, in the #2 state for boat registrations, and 3,200 miles of various shoreline lined with the docks of homes and cabins.

It looks like Mayor Petes former PR guy got her some more face time, too bad she hired him illegally on the states dime. It’s time for her to lose her job,and take the fact AG with her.

She is already threatening to extend the lock down. It’s until May 28th for now.

I and my husband and son are gone owners. I’m all for 2nd amendment but they are going to protest tomorrow at the capital about carrying guns because our RINO Shirkey said anyone brandishing guns at the protest in a threatening manner will be arrested. It is illegal in Michigan to brandish a fun in a threatening way. He is right.

So they are going to protest and wave their guns. She in turn is going come back and shut us down again.

I’m sick of the lock down. Time and place to take up 2a protests but after the lock-down. They have fake protestors with Nazi signs, people calling and threatening to assasinate her, etc.

All it takes is one gun hating psycho to go there with a gun and start shooting. Someone will do it just like they did for mass shootings at schools.

We are in a civil war. Most other countries on the planet would have fireworks by now. It is amazing how truly civil we are or we are docile sheep ready to be slaughtered.

Hey Twitmer, how the hell do we have more deaths than Florida and half of the population?

Your lockdown not only put people out of work, but it didn't work in preventing deaths. You FAILED because you suck. Those who voted for you or stayed home sucked too. Bill Schuette would not have done this, nor would Patrick Colbeck who I voted for.
