Michigan governor: People were ‘absolutely’ endangered by anti-lockdown protests
Published 1 min ago on April 15, 2020By Matthew Chapman



On Wednesday, right-wing protesters descended on Lansing, Michigan to protest the strict lockdown order imposed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to contain the spread of coronavirus.

On CNN, Whitmer warned that the protests only put Michiganders at greater risk to their health and safety.

“We have video today, Governor Whitmer, from outside the steps, people talking,” said host Erin Burnett. “I want to make it clear, most people were in their cars, but a lot of people standing around, some not wearing masks. Our reporter was there and said a lot of people were not social distancing. Dozens upon dozens, as he was there. Do you think that the protest put people at risk today."

And probably in rural areas that haven't been as hard hit at this point, as that's where I would guess a lot of them drove in from.
