Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan issued a rebuke of the
armed protesters who gathered inside the state capitol last week
in defiance of statewide lockdown orders, saying the
demonstrators embodied some of the �worst racism� 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,� Whitmer said during a Sunday interview on
CNN�s State of the Union.
Last week Donald Trump had said of the protesters: �These are
very good people.�
Hundreds of protesters, many not wearing protective face masks
and some armed legally with �long guns�, gathered inside the
statehouse in Lansing on Thursday as lawmakers debated the
Democratic governor�s request to extend her emergency powers to
combat the coronavirus pandemic. The tightly packed crowd
attempted to enter the floor of the legislative chamber and were
held back by a line of state police and capitol staff, according
to video footage posted by local journalists.
