Michigan Gov. Grethen Whitmer has imposed some of the strictest stay-at-home orders in the nation, including banning all public and private gatherings outside homes.

in the nation, including limiting the number of customers in essential stores to four for every 1,000 square feet; prohibiting employers from making employees come to work unless they are"necessary to sustain or protect life or to conduct minimum basic operations"; suggesting people limit the number of household members running errands; and banning all public and private gatherings outside homes.

Meshawn Maddocks of the Michigan Conservative Coalition, pictured in this undated photo, plans to lead a protest on April 15, 2020, at the Michigan State capital in Lansing over strict stay-at-home rules imposed by the governor. Maddock said she'll join a procession of vehicles beginning at noon on what would normally be Tax Day, encircling the capitol, in hopes Whitmer will get the message from her constituents that"bankrupting the state is not going to cure this virus."MORE: 'Torn up': African American family mourns 4 loved ones as COVID-19 racial disparities exposed

During a daily briefing on the pandemic this week, Whitmer said she doesn't plan to try to stop the demonstration.

They should drive to DC! GovWhitmer is doing great! Our governors wouldn't have had to shut down if realDonaldTrump followed early warnings- prepared our country with mass testing, contact tracing, and social distancing. Countries that did those early kept their econs going!

Our mayor did that 2 weeks ago and has issued 311 warnings and 8 citations in one day last weekend. $1,000 fine or 180 days in jail.

Whitmer - 'make sure that we avoid a second wave at all cost.' 😂 So destroy economy for 5 or 10 years...thinking you can control virus? Hmm? Flu somehow comes back every year...even with vaccines. Not very well thought out. Little people that get a lot of power...flaunt it. ✋

Quite lying too this State! Quite lying too this State!

Un-fulfilling!

I’ll say it again: if u don’t obey the stay at home policy then u get no medical care if u become sick period. Consequences

Not belittling the virus but authority and compulsion 💪🧐 Gestapo tactics

Applause....well done Whitmer....saves lives.

This act shows the extreme need for adult daycares and remedial education.

Well they should be stopped

Another Trump cult member, not the sharpest tool in the shed.

You losers have the fourth-most cases of Covid in the country (and the third-most deaths) and you think it’s time to open again? Actually, go ahead, a little herd-thinning is called for. Just stay away from innocent people who don’t want to die yet.

Just another day at a NASCAR race drive in a circle then go home and get drunk and bitch. Nice protest 😘

Eew

Well the pastor held service against advice and died. Were in Florida all lakes are closed as well as beaches and the Everglades. Alot of my family live in Michigan. Lady dont be stupid.

What a nut job. We’ve had wonderful social distancing get together in our driveways and fire pits with music and our own cocktails. Keeping sanity is important

This bytche is completely out of control-she definitely needs to be recalled...

No confusion with social distancing here!!

Power hungry Democrat! I guess she got very little attention growing up!

Worst governor in America. She is drunk with power and her state is going to turn against her.

MICHIGAN - FREEDOM DENIED

These are the butt hurt people still whining because a Democrat is Governor. It has little to do with Covid-19 and everything to do with politics.

she wants to be the chick saying 🖕🏼 to Trump the loudest so dementia joe takes her with for VP.. she, like all of us, know the VP, if dementia joe wins, he won’t be able to run the country at all so they will get to be in charge early

AJ_1392 Good PROTEST !

God bless their protest. OPENAMERICANOW

Lots red hats gonna be there. Hopefully this helps thin the herd.

Can Trump 'override' states' pandemic decisions? Will he?When states balk at stay-at-home orders, Trump emphasizes 'federalism.' When they're prepared to maintain the orders, his emphasis is ... different. MaddowBlog Wait a second, if Governors want to open up early Trump can’t stop them? MaddowBlog Absolutely by declaring a state of emergency. MaddowBlog Just so we’re clear: the journos tell us it’s Trump’s fault for not shutting down the country in February, but now they say he doesn’t have the authority to open it back up in May? It’s almost like Trump can’t be right in their eyes no matter what he does🤔
