Protests in Michigan
May 1, 2020
PROTESTORS faced off with police blocking entry to the legislative chamber in the Michigan State House in Lansing yesterday. The Republican-led legislature voted to deny extension of Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home order, which was scheduled to expire today. They also authorized legal action against Whitmer.
In response, Whitmer, who plays a leading role in the gubernatorial cast of Covid Crooks, extended the shutdown until May 15 by emergency decree with continued restrictions until May 28th. The continued shutdown, as many doctors have said, will almost certainly make the virus worse in Michigan, as people suffer from weakened immunities from staying inside and avoiding contact with germs. The chillingly plastic-looking Whitmer seems unmoved by the ruin her policies have caused.
