Dozens of demonstrators took to Michigan’s state Capitol on Thursday — the third such event in the past month — demanding their 'freedom' from Gov. Whitmer's stay-at-home order.
Several militia members were present at the rally, where a massive banner reading"FREEDOM" was spread at the entrance to the Capitol. Some demonstrators waved"Don't Tread on Me" flags and wore President Donald Trump's campaign gear. While there were some protesters wearing masks, most did not distance themselves from others.
Protesters hold signs during a rally against stay-at-home order at the State Capitol in Lansing, Mich., on May 14, 2020., Whitmer said the protesters were not representative of her state and that the rallies have had a"definite political component" to them. Whitmer said she's feeling"intense pressure to reopen, whether it's coming from the White House or the people of our state, and that's playing out all across the country."
