MI Trumpsters at capital on Monday were actually outnumbered by journalists & police officers

LANSING, MI - The turnout was pathetic, one Trump supporter said to another Monday in front of the Michigan State Capitol.



For most of the day, journalists and state troopers vastly outnumbered the protesters, fewer than a dozen, objecting to the state’s electors officially voting for President-elect Joe Biden in the Dec. 14 meeting of the Electoral College.

It signaled a relatively quiet end to weeks of challenges to Biden’s victory in Michigan, despite state Rep. Gary Eisen, R-St. Clair Twp., suggesting in a Monday morning radio interview that violence could erupt during the Lansing meeting.

While the passionate few protesters were armed with bullhorns and cold-weather gear, Republican lawmakers and attorneys attempted to escort their own electors through the side door of the Capitol building to cast their own votes for President Donald Trump.

The effort was as ineffective as the protesters’ chants in the front, as Michigan State Troopers swiftly turned them away.
