Michigan Governor Whitmer says anti-lockdown protests 'depicted some of the worst racism and awful parts of our history'

Earlier in the segment, Whitmer noted that she can understand the frustration expressed by protesters, but urged people to follow the advice of public health officials and scientists.

Michigan United for Liberty, a group organizing the demonstrations, pushed back against the governor's criticism. Demonstrators waving a Confederate States flag take part in an"American Patriot Rally," organized on April 30 by Michigan United for Liberty on the steps of the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing, demanding the reopening of businesses amid the coronavirus pandemicPresident Donald Trump has voiced support for the demonstrators in Michigan, as well as protests that have taken place in other states across the country.

Ah, 'racism', always a Democrat staple response. Immediately shifts every Democrat away from the issues and back to their party narrative. Like yelling 'squirrel' to a dog.

Supported by realDonaldTrump ... you know the person who believes he’s being treated worse than Lincoln. Lincoln was a leader, he wasn’t a racist.

DEPLORABLE at it’s best🤮🤮🤮🤮

Wut

Call it out for what it is. Hitler was successful because people didn’t speak out against evil. The GOP is ducking their heads, avoiding the issue. Folks, that = support for this.

Trump has brought out the most evil in America. He has destroyed America and no one can stop him. He is the new Teflon Don.

The confederate flag symbolizes the treasonous fight to protect and extend slavery, a fight that took over 600,000 American lives.

That’s a lie. There will always be a couple of idiots. The majority of people were there to fight for freedom over tyranny. It was a glorious thing to see. 🇺🇸

Let them wave that loser flag 😂

The only thing a confederate flag is good for is kindling.

What a joke

She is a disgrace

That’s awful.

Confederate flags, WTF?

Not surprised. They are all bigots. Fucking Rasicans not Republicans

Whitmer spelled upside down is GESTAPO.

Their flags of racism speaks volumes.

The protesters’ guns are their girl friends.
