Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Sunday downplayed the anti-quarantine protests in her state, praising the vast majority of her state’s residents as “doing the right thing” by staying at home.
The Democratic governor repeatedly promised on CNN's "State of the Union" to continue to heed experts and epidemiologists’ advice to guide her state’s response.A “small group of people” came out to storm the state Capitol on Thursday, Whitmer said, some armed and equipped with swastikas, nooses and/or Confederate flags.
“When you think about the fact that this is a state of almost 10 million people, the vast majority" are doing the right thing, she continued. That’s why, the governor said, the curve in the spread of the coronavirus in Michigan has continued to flatten. “We’ve saved lives in the process,” she added. “We have to keep listening to the epidemiologists and experts and not listen to the partisan rhetoric, or these political rallies or tweets, for that matter. We have to keep doing the right thing.”
The protests this week were the second time in about two weeks conservative state demonstrators stormed the Capitol, many of them defying social distancing measures.
Woman Power
The fact that gun-toting people in the State House weren't arrested, is very disturbing.
Much character in this lady ...
Good, these protest rallies are nothing but mini Trumps campaign rallies, just with guns!
Governor of Mississippi should take lessons on how to be strong and do the right thing from Whitmer.
Make life easier, wear a mask, socially distance, or StayTheFHome
She is officially political road kill.
Protestors are fake, paid for by republican groups, just ignore them,.
What she meant to say was 'Those guys are assholes.'
Whitmer is an air head.
She is great governor & trying her best to save her state folks where as president failed to serve folks in entire nation. He is trying to shift blame on China. No one is buying it as he tried before.
Stay strong, Governor. I didn’t understand why protesters felt it necessary to bring weapons.
It is obvious she’s trying hard to strike a conciliatory tone and that is really commendable
best way to deal with naughty children. if you give them attention for doing the wrong thing, you don't help them grow up.
seems like CBCNews & are now just leftwing BreitbartNews and lean far left of fair and balanced , sad 😢 MATH
And that’s the message she needs to continue giving out. What Oklahoma did is reprehensible and sets the wrong precedent
