Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Again Claims Protesters with ‘Automatic Rifles’ Came to Her House
Breitbart ^ | September 12 2020 | AWR HAWKINS

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) claims citizens with “automatic rifles” showed up on her lawn when President Donald Trump focused on her refusal to reopen her state after the coronavirus shutdown.

Whitmer appeared on the No Lie with Bryan Tyler Cohen podcast, during which he suggested the outworking of Trump’s focus on her extended shutdown “increased the number of death threats, it increased the number of people showing up on [her] front lawn with automatic rifles.”

She then contended that the focus on her was a political move, “designed to tear us apart for the benefit of a re-election and that’s criminal.”

Hey Guv!

Where's the proof?!

If there were 5 rifles sitting on your kitchen table you are incapable of identifying which is the "automatic".

Were these fully automatic semi-automatic weapons?

I call BS!

If, indeed, armed “demonstrators” were in FRont of her house, they were paid by LIEberals to be there!

One simply HAS to ask the pertinent question, madam governor: “Where were YOUR security folks?”

LIEberals LIE!

Witless Whitmer is a LIEberal!

Witless Whitmenr LIEs!

Especially the ones with the high magazine clips. They are the scariest.

Like her or not, Gov. Whitmer is 100% correct here! Below is a picture her security team took of one of the protesters.

Does anyone know what the recall Whitmer status is? I am sure many of us here on FR would be very happy to help out.

Michigan-ahs would have been fine with having their businesses and jobs closed for months, fishing and gardening outlawed—BUT NOOOOOOOOO! Trump had to open his orange mouth and rile those people up, get them uppity.

Hey, guv! Did any of these protesters fire a shot? So then count yourself lucky and STFU, and open up your state.

Governor, where are the pictures?! No pictures? Then it didn’t happen.

Perhaps there is a record of the 911 call? No? I didn’t think so.

How would she know if they were automatic, unless they fired off a few rounds? Did they have scary-looking forward pistol grips?

Like he needs to focus on you to win Michigan. Like the whole state doesn’t hate and despise you except for Detroit, anyway.

well frankly, and it is sad imho, but what does she expect the way she treats the people of Michigan?
