LANSING — President Donald Trump backed Thursday's Capitol protesters in a Friday morning tweet, saying Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer should "give a little, and put out the fire."
Hundreds of protesters gathered at the Capitol in Lansing Thursday, urging an end to Michigan's state of emergency. At one point, a large group, some with rifles slung over their shoulders, massed in the lobby outside the House chambers and yelled at Michigan State Police troopers and House sergeants, demanding to be allowed onto the House floor.
Many of the demonstrators wore Trump hats or carried other paraphernalia related to his 2020 re-election campaign.
"The Governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire," Trump said on Twitter. "These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely! See them, talk to them, make a deal."

Many of the demonstrators did not observe social distancing guidelines or wear masks. Some carried signs that appeared to advocate violence, such as, "Tyrants get the rope."

By all but the 25% of left wing jihadists, and she might just give the state back to Trump.
Not exactly universally hated.
Estimate is as high as 40% of the State will get laid off for extended period.
It might be the militia freaks marching in Lansing today, but there will be riots south of Eight Mile in no time.

Unless you mean just among hillbillies and militia stooges and opus-dei types.
Whitmer has shut down all counties across the state despite many having minimal cases over the past month the same as Wayne County which has the most. She has now doubled down last night.
She was rebuked by her legislature yesterday in trying to get an extension of the shut down. Thus, she extended the state of emergency so that she could use her emergency powers as governor to override citizen rights.
It will be challenged in court, however, I suspect that the Pennsylvania case that was just accepted by Samuel Alito will address this even sooner.
She enjoys her role as dictator bitch, but she is loathed by all of those on the right and now the middle.
He has put her state in a position not to recover I. Order to audition for the VP spot.

the definition of insanity, you do the same over and over again and expect a different result. Didn’t 2016 teach you anything?
