Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Wednesday that the protests in the state's capital city against state measures meant to limit the spread of the coronavirus make it more likely that the state will have to keep restrictions in place longer.
Appearing Monday on ABC's "The View," Whitmer, a Democrat, was asked about the pushback against her administration's coronavirus restrictions. There have been multiple protests in the state's capital city of Lansing in the past few weeks, including one late last month that saw protesters -- some of them armed -- entering the state Capitol, screaming at law enforcement officers and not adhering to social distancing guidelines or wearing masks.
While she respects people's right to dissent, Whitmer said, the protesters are putting people at risk. "The fact of the matter is, these protests -- in a perverse way -- make it likelier that we are going to have to stay in a stay-at-home posture," she said, going on to encourage anyone with a platform to call on people to "do the right thing."

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Moral to the story.
Do not elect Democrats to anything, ever, for any reason.
This one is a really vindictive one. Wow!
Utter crap from CNN.
She’s gona Blow wide open.
What a coincidence, the people of Michigan said that the stay at home orders being extended means the protests are likely to continue.
She’s something that rhymes with hunt.
Now she’s just being a passive-aggressive beeatch.
Someone is going to back down. Question is who first?
Turning into a game of chicken and she’s gonna lose. Big time. When is the next protest scheduled?
Sieg Heil
Don’t let your mouth write checks your butt can’t cash Whit-less.
NC Governor Cooper is a RAT but at least he’s not a crazy **tch like Whitmer.
Confirming that it has nothing to do with “safety” and everything to do with hate-filled Democrat politics.
Her political career is essentially over, so this is what lame duck Democrats typically do... They just continue on p*ssing people off until the end.
And she has now regained her lead in the Worst Governor competition.
I thought it was all about the “science”!
Hilarious
Whitmer as Dominatrix to the whole state
All of you will be punished if any of you complain
She’s beyond belief - has no concept of how insane she comes off
I hate to think it but I actually hope it goes hot. This is a socialist takeover and it needs to stop. The government needs to stop grabbing absolute control. This is the USA a lot of people fought for it and we should not let the global socialists take it away using a trumped up “pandemic” as the reason
Who else are in the running? Newsom?
