A Michigan lawmaker returned to the state Capitol on Wednesday with an armed security detail following a coronavirus lockdown protest at the building last week attended by white supremacists and militia groups.

Rep. Sarah Anthony, a Democrat whose district is in the capital city, Lansing, told Yahoo News in an interview that her security detail, made up of local black and Latino activists, came together because the armed protesters bearing white supremacist symbols represented a “different level of terror.”

According to Anthony, the April 30 protest was different from prior coronavirus protests that have occurred at the Capitol in recent weeks because many of the demonstrators stormed inside the building and were armed. Anthony also said some of the protesters “had Confederate flags and swastikas,” which she found “extraordinarily triggering for me as an African-American woman.”

Yeah - I call BS on this entire “news” STORY.

[dp0622]

yeah but you got to be willing to pull the trigger on that gun when the time counts. And the time might not be very far away.

What’s fake about this news?

[Mr. Blond]

Is the protest still ongoing? If not, this is just grandstanding. Highly doubt protesters were displaying swastikas, except to symbolize the gov’t being the Nazis.

[Mariner]

You don’t think it actually happened?

Yahoo actually published this deadline?
They might as well give up on the “news” business and decline themselves the propaganda and disinformation wing of the Dem party.

I’ve seen you before and believe you are smarter than that.

No - I don’t.

Just like I don’t believe Jussie Smollet was ever attacked either.
