Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Wednesday that the protests in the state's capital city against state measures meant to limit the spread of the coronavirus make it more likely that the state will have to keep restrictions in place longer.Do you hear Frau Whitmer, Michigan? You OBEY her and she won't ground you and put you on Triple Double Secret Double Double Detention Probation. But if you defy her?
Appearing Monday on ABC's "The View," Whitmer, a Democrat, was asked about the pushback against her administration's coronavirus restrictions. There have been multiple protests in the state's capital city of Lansing in the past few weeks, including one late last month that saw protesters -- some of them armed -- entering the state Capitol, screaming at law enforcement officers and not adhering to social distancing guidelines or wearing masks.
While she respects people's right to dissent, Whitmer said, the protesters are putting people at risk.
"The fact of the matter is, these protests -- in a perverse way -- make it likelier that we are going to have to stay in a stay-at-home posture," she said, going on to encourage anyone with a platform to call on people to "do the right thing."
Another protest against the state's stay-at-home restrictions is scheduled for Thursday in Lansing.
