LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is condemning protesters who gathered outside Michigan’s secretary of state’s home.
Dozens of demonstrators gathered outside of Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s home Saturday night protesting the certification of election results in Michigan and demanding a forensic audit.
Video posted by a participant on Facebook shows members of the crowd chanting with megaphones and several holding signs around 9:30 p.m.
The crowd chanted, “Stop the steal” and “No audit, no peace.” They also sang the “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “God Bless America.”
Whitmer slammed what she considered a threat against Jocelyn Benson. She said such threats are dangerous and unacceptable. Whitmer urged people to come together to fight a common enemy: COVID-19.
Benson released a statement Sunday night saying the protest began as her and her young son were decorating their home for Christmas. She said in her statement that a line is crossed when the primary purpose to gather is to intimidate.
I get it, we can gather to throw hate at Trump or conservatives but if we gather to protest anything a Democrat says or does then THAT is “dangerous and unacceptable”. Got it.
