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.”

That’s what the protesters were doing. Directing nazi symbolism toward Gov WhitLESS. Reminds me of when I was in college. From time to time CPUSA lackeys would hang around the campus commons handing out agit prop like the Daily Worker, replete with doctored up images of cops wearing nazi armbands. This was before the days of Photoshop but anyone with a basic knowledge of photography could easily retouch newspaper photos.
It’s propaganda 101 geared towards simpletons who can’t rub 2 brain cells together.
7 May: WLNS: Conversation around black gun ownership changes after protests and escort
by Megan Schellong , Brittany Flowers, Kiyerra Lake
Lansing, Mich. — A group of five men escorted a Michigan representative out of the Michigan State Capitol building Wednesday afternoon, changing the conversation around gun ownership for black people.
Michael Lynn III, 20, who is standing in the middle of the photograph, said to 6 News that the ultimate goal that day was to show their right to own guns by protecting the representative Sara Anthony while being armed. “We thought this was the best way to make sure she was safe,” he said.
“It’s not that weird to see white men with guns, right? We can say that. In our climate that we’re in right now, it’s kind of, I guess, taboo, if you see a black person with a gun,” Lynn said.
“So I guess it was in turn to challenge that idea, to normalize that idea. That we are just Americans,” Lynn said. “Just like any other white gun owner, we are just Americans. We have the Second Amendment right just like they do,” he said...

true.
“It’s propaganda 101 geared towards simpletons who can’t rub 2 brain cells together.”
The article is about several armed black men with masks standing on the steps of the MI capital.
What’s fake about this news?\
—The narrative for one. Need more?
Talk about fake news. There were no Nazis at the protest - they were accusing the Guv of Nazi policies in her absurd orders.
BLM activists??
The article is saying that the protestors are all white KKK members.
if I give you a brain cell you’ll still need one more...
And yet - these same black 2nd amendment supporters are defending a representative who wants to strip their gun rights.
Actual belief on their part or more planted propaganda to drive the narrative?
Undoubtedly communists
Only 1 Confederate flag that showed up in the pictures; the gun and message on it was directed at the government, not a race.
The Nazi sign was about the white governor and certainly not in support of Nazis. Again, only one sign in all of the pictures that I could see.
Oh my gosh, I literally laughed out loud.
What crock, it's as plain as day that they hired them as armed security.
The media never fails at attempting to spin the message.
Propaganda to drive a narrative in actuality the Blacks will never let go of the Democrat Party it is too ingrained in them. Same with the White Blue Dog Democrats. They may say different, but in the voting booth, on election day, the urge to vote Democrat is just too strong. In the past, I have heard them say,”I just could not bring myself to vote for a Republican.”
BTW Ms Representative, it was Antifa Democrats waving those flags to try and discredit freedom loving Americans. And why haven’t we seen any photos of these flag wavers?
Any photos of Confederate flags or nazi flags? I haven’t seen any yet and you know if there had been those flags there the news media would have them plastered all over the internet.
Only swastika I saw was on a sign comparing the governor to a nazi,
Sounds like bullshit.
Only Nazi symbol HEIl, the Governor, WILMER. what and who were the Latino Activists? More media H’crap from YAHOO, the LEFTHOO.
Yep, that’s the stuff. What will it take to get these hell hounds to lie down?
“...attended by white supremacists and militia groups....”
Sure they were...termite.
