Michigan governor says protests 'make it likelier' stay-at-home orders will stay in place longer

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."

She’s acting petulant and spiteful like the California governor - as in “because some of you are misbehaving I am going to further punish you all”. Just like a military drill sergeant, she’s trying to get everyone mad at the “miscreants” for everyone’s lives more miserable due to HER actions.

Cuomo has the bar set so high it will never be met, on purpose. But we are supposed to be grateful that he’s eased the jackboot off our necks ever so slightly.

Thank you.

A prophet has no honor in his own home.

Seems like my advice to my own kids isn’t making my of an impact, although they do know more about doing it themselves as far as cooking and the girls do like sewing.

But as is typical of young people, they don’t see the potential for problems that those of us with more experience do.
