The media knows darn well that those protest of "stay-ins" was a drumpf

[mfcorey1]

organized s...show. Now they are reporting it as though they were some desperately concerned citizens. Here we go with the legitimizing of right wing nut jobs again, many displaying their guns.

1. Did they protest any Republican governors

Several have policies that are close to Kentucky's policy. Someone should lay out the policies by state. AARP did a little of this.

3. They have been protesting

gov. deWine’s press briefings in Ohio for days now.

They actually have called him a “tyrant” and have called Dr. Acton, Ohio’s Director of Public Health, “the most dangerous woman in America”

4. When DeWine Was On Tapper...

...the protests came up.
DeWine did all he could do to not just slap his head! Then point to his temple & say "cuckoo".

5. In one of the posts on DU, Wed., I saw the protest in Michigan, I think, was orchestrated by a...

foundation supported by the DeVos family. Does that make your stomach retch? Think Betsy and her brother, Erik Prince.

9. Thank you for mentioning this.

I saw Devos' name a few times in various posts with no explanation, and because things can move so fast here the significance went right by me. Your post made me go look it up.

The protest, called “Operation Gridlock,” was organized by the Michigan Conservative Coalition and the Michigan Freedom Fund, a DeVos family-linked conservative group. The Facebook event called on attendees to “TAKE ACTION IN LANSING“ but “Not on foot — STAY in your VEHICLES!“

But many of the demonstrators, some waving Trump campaign flags, ignored the organizers‘ pleas and flooded the streets, according to NBC news. Protesters chanted, “Open up Michigan,“ and at one point erupted into a “Lock her up“ refrain in reference to Whitmer.

The Democratic governor last week issued one of the nation’s strictest stay-at-home orders amid the coronavirus pandemic, choosing to not align the state with a federal agency’s revised list of critical infrastructure, which would allow some Michiganders to return to work. Though the list is advisory, Whitmer’s decision to tighten instead of loosen restrictions has sparked backlash from Republican legislators across the state.

Now it makes more sense. This was way too big to be a grassroots thing; someone had to organize it. The Repubs fueling this are awful. They're going to get people killed.

Thanks again, Frustratedlady!

12. You're welcome.

Betsy should have been removed from public office a long time ago. However, this wouldn't have eliminated the family foundation. It is amazing how much damage Betsy and her brother, Erik, have done to this country for many, many years. I think the Prince family is about as caustic as the DeVos family.
