Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) denounced as shocking and reckless a call from a Trump administration official for Michigan residents to “rise up” over new coronavirus restrictions she announced Sunday, the Detroit Free Press reports.
Said Whitmer: “It’s just incredibly reckless, considering everything that has happened, everything that is going on.”
Trump coronavirus adviser Scott Atlas urged Michiganders to “rise up” against the new restrictions. He later sought to clarify on Twitter he was not trying to incite violence.
