Her illogical and draconian measures- banning travel to property, forbidding fishing from power boats (fine from canoes or kayaks), banning the sales of gardening tools, seeds, baby car seats, the list goes on. People are upset and have had enough.<\/p>\n<p>So they exercised their Constitutionally protected rights, and engaged in the right to assemble, freedom of speech, and the right to keep and bear arms. At the Michigan Statehouse. This did not sit well at all with the Governor.<\/p>\n<h3>Michigan&#8217;s Whitmer says armed protesters displayed &#8216;worst racism and awful parts&#8217; of US history<\/h3>\n<p><em><strong>Armed protesters storm Michigan Capitol over stay-at-home orders<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<strong>By Andrew O&#8217;Reilly <\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer slammed the protesters who gathered inside the state&#8217;s Capitol building on Thursday to demand she rescind her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/health\/infectious-disease\/coronavirus\">stay-at-home orders<\/a>, saying they represented the \u201cworst racism and awful parts\u201d of U.S. history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the outrageousness of what happened at our capitol depicted some of the worst racism and awful parts of our history in this country,\u201d Whitmer said Sunday on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe behavior you&#8217;ve seen in all of the clips is not representative of who we are in Michigan,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Holding American flags and handmade signs \u2013 and with some carrying firearms &#8212; the demonstrators in Lansing first congregated shoulder-to-shoulder outside before demanding to be let inside the building as lawmakers were poised to debate an extension of an emergency and disaster declaration. Some chanted &#8220;Let us in,&#8221; The Detroit News reported.<\/p>\n<p>State Sen. Dayna Polehanki, a Democrat, tweeted a photo of what she described as armed demonstrators yelling above her. She said some of her colleagues were wearing &#8220;bullet proof vests&#8221; inside the House chamber.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Directly above me, men with rifles yelling at us. Some of my colleagues who own bullet proof vests are wearing them. I have never appreciated our Sergeants-at-Arms more than today. #mileg,&#8221; she posted.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday&#8217;s rally came as some people living in Michigan have continued to demand Whitmer roll back her stay-at-home order in an effort to reopen the state&#8217;s economy and allow residents to resume daily activities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thing is, she has no legal standing to command any of these edicts. Even Fox&#8217;s Judge Nap, with whom I disagree about 90% of the time, says these are violations of the Constitution.
