Dictatorial Michigan Governor Smears Lockdown Protesters As Racists
By: Multiple
This article is so right on. The blue bi coastal elites had their plan and and dirty unwashed country hicks messed it all up. Now that their attempt to guilt trip Heartland America into not reopening our economy for fear of killing others to stay in solidarity with being forced to share their pain and to forever kill the Trump economy before the election, the elites have played the race card in an attempt to smear us back into shutdown since their initial guilt trip didn’t work.

The Sunday morning "news" shows typically set up the propaganda points that will drive the week's news cycle and the war on dissent has officially begun.
With the anti-American lockdowns over the coronavirus panic increasingly looking to have been an unnecessary overreaction by government, citizens have started taking to the streets to protest the decrees by tyrannical officials.
Democrat governors are determined to extend the lockdowns for as long as possible in order to crush the economy and damage President Trump's reelection chances but for those who can see that the models have been wrong, they are as mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.
So this morning, the dictatorial governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer showed up on CNN's "State Of The Union" to accuse protesters in her state of - you guessed it - racism .
Via The Hill, "Whitmer says Michigan protests 'depicted some of the worst racism and awful parts of our history'" :
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) said protests inside the state capitol last week, featuring demonstrators with assault weapons, swastikas and Confederate flags, depicted some of the “worst racism and awful parts” of the nation’s history.
“Some of the outrageousness of what happened at our capitol depicted some of the worst racism and awful parts of our history in this country,” she said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“The behavior you've seen in all of the clips is not representative of who we are in Michigan,” she added.
The protesters were demonstrating against Whitmer’s statewide stay-at-home order put in place amid the coronavirus pandemic in an effort to mitigate the spread of the potentially fatal virus.
What Whitmer didn't bother mentioning nor did the whiny Jake Tapper confront her with is that the swastikas that she complained about were on signs comparing her to Nazis.
On Friday, President Trump tweeted his support of those in Michigan who are exercising their constitutional right to peacefully protest.
Per Trump:
"The Governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire. These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely! See them, talk to them, make a deal."
With the inevitable playing of the race card, the predictable media line of attack is going to be to breath new life into the Charlottesville "some fine people on both sides" lie in which Trump's actual comments were taken out of context.
Even Tapper admitted it last year:
As for Whitmer, she has become the poster child for liberal totalitarianism for her punishing and arbitrary restrictions which have forbidden Michiganders of purchasing garden plants and seeds while protecting abortion mills.
This has naturally led to protests from citizens whose lives are being destroyed by this cruel woman who is using the crisis to audition for the vice presidency.
Whitmer has now used the protests as an excuse for collective punishment of residents by extending the lockdowns despite resistance that has spread to the state legislature which is now suing her for overreach.
And she isn't backing down one inch but rather leading the national crusade by the leftist elite to crush resistance to Democrat tyranny.

Gavin Newsom has closed all beaches.
He did open the one in Newport Beach for walking, exercising, and surfing but not for sunbathing or gathering in large groups. The self entitled residents decided that they did not have to adhere to the guidelines of this trial basis so the beach was closed again. The people blew it, not the governor.
Can you imagine? She called them racists?
Yes I can imagine.
Why is someone flying a confederate flag in Michigan?
That wouldn't make 10,000 thousand people racist. As far as I know that's one of your's - another Smollette special!
How many people has the black power flag enslaved in America?
Says it all.
You think there was only one racist in a crowd of Michigan militia protesting the government?
That would be a first.
Not as ridiculous as any allusion that many of them are white nationalists. That’s complete BS since clearly most aren’t. Most are just regular Americans who don’t like Whiters partisan, totalitarian tactics.
I'm not even sure there was one. What I do know is that there are 22 million unemployed with bills to pay and children to feed. Small businesses have been destroyed. The food chain is breaking. Schools are closed. That John, is the reason you are seeing protest over shutdowns which were originally supposed to be for a few weeks and have now dragged on into May.
Where is the compassion for them?
That what you get when you elect radicals like Whitmer and Nessel.
Nessel is trying to start a new hate crimes unit. Rumor is their uniform shirts will be brown with jackboots for trucking on anyone who doesn’t tow her racist line.
Can’t wait for it to warm up enough for the antifa’s to come out of moms basement to see how her new unit deals with those pussies.
Did you hear the Mayor of Chicago?
What a piece of shit!
I guess I can kinda understand it considering the group of dumbasses she has to deal with in that city
WOW! So this is an elitist lockdown and not a safe and sane measure to save lives?
So just like anthropogenic global warming you consider covid-19 to be some sort of "elitist" plot to discredit the president?
From what I've seen of his daily coronavirus briefings, all Trump does is discredit himself with his every idiotic word, inaccurite statements, insane expressions and Hitlerish gestures behind his podium.
Seems all he does is praise his poor, late, slow response and trash scientists for disagreeing with his ignorance.
Seems Palin went down in flames for her ignorance. Guess who is next to pay for a lifetime of ignorance and illegal bullying tactics.
You sure know how to pick [deleted]
In the $4-5 trillion Congressional relief packages that are supposed to have been processed automatically by the IRS?
We all know how that worked out so far.
That's federal policy. I want to know why I'm not hearing any concern for the unemployed from certain quarters.
Yes it is. Your point?
Why, are you suddenly compassionate for your fellow man, regardless of political bent?
Or you just want to play "gochya in an echo chamber"?
Why would anyone say something so silly?
Do you know what this is?
I guess not.
The confederates in Texas invoked the name of the Christian God to justify the slavery of Africans in their state. Whod a thunk it?
The passage I quoted is from the secession document adopted by the Texas legislature in early 1861, announcing they were joining the Confederacy.
I was told recently that we weren't supposed to make it personal. Evidently that's not true.
Sorry, that drop in the bucket was only supposed to cover a few weeks pay- if that. That money is long, long, gone.
To be fair, God never did condemn nor prohibit slavery. Instead, he laid down rules for proper enslavement. That of course depends on whether one considers the bible to be "divine" or not (it's not!).
You know the damn difference between a symbol and people right? The flag can't enslave anyone, period.
People on the other hand, can.
A flag is a symbol representing a group of people or nation. The confederate flag represents worthless piece of shit white supremacist losers who went to war over their perceived right to own other human beings like cattle. Anyone flying the confederate flag is saying they are a part of that disgusting racist legacy.
"The new Constitution has put at rest forever all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institutions—African slavery as it exists among us—the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution."
"The prevailing ideas entertained by him and most of the leading statesmen at the time of the formation of the old Constitution were, that the enslavement of the African was in violation of the laws of nature; that it was wrong in principle, socially, morally and politically. It was an evil they knew not well how to deal with; but the general opinion of the men of that day was, that, somehow or other, in the order of Providence, the institution would be evanescent and pass away. [...] Those ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error."
"Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition" - Vice President of the Confederacy Alexander Stephens - March 21, 1861
That is what the civil war was fought over and what the confederate flag represented then, and that is what the confederate flag represents now. Anyone telling you different is intentionally lying to you because they're too cowardly to accept the truth.
Mayor Lightfoot broke her own rules by getting a haircut saying she took pride in her personal appearance and hygiene.
After the haircut she still was ugly, but I can understand why she got it. This is her before her haircut.
Maybe it had something to do with all of those confederate battle flags.
Symbols of the "resistance".
Symbols of sub 100 IQ hate mongers.
More like below 80...
Damn shame that Fox and far right wing blogs gave these idiotic far right wing racists a voice.
Stupid ignorant fascists don't deserve a vote. Pretty sure that a potential voter should at least be able to recite their ABCs before being allowed to vote.

Only 6% of hard scientists claim to be republican or conservative.
The vast majority of college graduates are liberals.
Many studies have shown that Fox watchers are much less informed on current events and realities than folk who watch no news channels at all.
Not just my opinion, these are documented facts.
What was the last scientific paper you read?
Yeah ..... i don't know about you but i by goshed and by gollied my way through a masters in Engineering Admin ...... mouth breathing the whole way ..... but i'm sure i'm the one exception to the rule.
It actually takes practice and lots of repetitions to instinctively cough or sneeze into your elbow. Since most folk don't cough or sneeze regularly, coughing into ones hand is a difficult habit to break.
It also takes a lot of conscious determination to not touch your face. We humans unconsciously touch our faces around 20 times per hour.
Bought a case of 500 individually wrapped isopropyl alcohol screen cleaners last year for my touchscreen communication devices. They have now been retasked as hand and face cleaners for the rare occasion that I drive to town.
As an ex-paramedic and ex-environmental scientist I have involved myself with the local volunteer fire department/ambulance service as a trainer from time to time. They used to think that I was a bit nuts for stressing glove and mask protocol. They don't think that anymore.

So, democrats.
Pretty sure that a potential voter should learn how to get a picture ID before voting.
So many positive tests coming out of the WH. And on Friday a bunch of gop had a meeting with Trump, no masks, not enough distancing, face touching.....and for a group who like to call this pandemic a hoax, they test everybody who comes in. And if positive, remove them. Now why can't the REST OF US get the same? Why does Trump test everybody at the same time he downplays it for everybody else? Why not just let the positive person interact as usual the same way we are all forced to do without testing? A lot of trouble for a hoax.
Another problem with all these political rallies to 'open up'. Most don't wear masks or social distance, making it more likely to spread. If y'all really want to open up people have to feel safe. And a bunch of spitting morons yelling doesn't make anybody want to go shop or eat out with people like that. A majority of Americans don't want to open up until they are safe And they don't think that is today.
If it has to be explained to you why the leader of the country and those around him get tested more often than you, it probably isn't worth the time to explain it to you.
