Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is acting more like a dictator than an elected official. Seems to me like the power has gone to her head...I doubt a re-election is in her future.
On Thursday night, Whitmer addressed the protests that took place in Michigan on Wednesday, in which people demanded their freedom be given back with an end to the stay-at-home order. Her response? She is now thinking about extending it.
Do you want a revolt? Because that's how you get a revolt.
The Hill reports:
Whitmer, during an interview with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, said that the protests are the “kind of irresponsible action that puts us in this situation where we might have to actually think about extending stay-at-home orders, which is supposedly what they are protesting."
Protesters, led by the Michigan Conservative Coalition, stormed the Michigan Capitol on Wednesday demanding an end to the stay-at-home order, which they claimed was infringing on their personal liberties.
Whitmer said that kind of behavior could result in a resurgence of the disease, which has hit her state particularly hard. As of Thursday evening, Michigan has reported 29,263 cases and 2,093 deaths.

“The thing that I’m concerned most about, and that I think my fellow governors are as well, is a resurgence,” Whitmer said. “When you see a political rally — that’s what it was yesterday — a political rally where people aren’t wearing masks and they’re in close quarters and they're touching one another, you know that that’s precisely what makes this kind of disease drag out and expose more people.”

Convicted Prisoners Released During Pandemic Then the UNIMAGINABLE Happens
Over the last couple of months, hundreds (at least) of prisoners have been released form prison as an act of precaution to those who may be more at risk to catching the coronavirus during this pandemic.
Why they're so concerned makes no sense to me. The whole idea is ridiculous. If they're in jail cells away from people and away from the public where 99.9999999% of the virus is, why would you turn them lose and expose them to it?
Michigan Sheriffs DEFY Governor Whitmer's Lockdown Orders, Vow to Protect Civil Liberties
Earlier this week, Michiganians were united in protest against the tyrant Governor Gretchen Whitmer as they assembled outside the capitol building.
Thousands gathered for this "drive-by" protest not as an act of defiance of her stay at home orders, but in protest of how far she's taken her orders. Some of them literally make no sense.
VIDEO: SBA Paycheck Protection Program Goes BROKE Thanks to Democrats, Pelosi Congratulates Them
It's official. The SBA's Paycheck Protection Program has officially run out of money.
This was expected for weeks and the time has finally come. Congress was aware that funding was going to run out which is why the White House was asking for another $250 billion to go with it. It doesn't look like it's going to happen either. Why? Because Democrats hate America.
Chris Cuomo SNAPS - Breaks Quarantine and Threatens Elderly Man, Now Police Are Involved
CNN's Chris Cuomo is on self-quarantine at his home in East Hampton, New York after testing positive for the coronavirus.
This whole stay at home thing is just too much for Cuomo to handle I believe based on the way he's been talking and things he's been doing.
