WashingtonTimes | Thousands of Michiganders protesting Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home executive order drove to Lansing, Michigan, for a mass ‘drive-by’ protest on Wednesday.
The Michigan Conservative Coalition
organized “Operation Gridlock” featuring protesters circling the
Michigan State Capitol in their vehicles and honking their horns to show
their opposition to the Democratic governor’s coronavirus-related
restrictions. The protesters observed social distancing practices by
remaining in their vehicles.
“Our Governor and her allies are infecting ALL of us with their radical, progressive agenda,” the Michigan Conservative Coalition
said on its Facebook page organizing the protest. “Dope stores? Open.
Abortion clinics? Open. Churches? Shut down. Local businesses? Going
broke!”
The group added, “People always say: “Conservatives never protest
because they are too busy working.” Well, guess what. You’re not
working—so it’s time to PROTEST.”
The Operation Gridlock rally was set to begin
at noon but thousands of vehicles arrived beforehand on Wednesday,
according to organizers of the protest.
