On Thursday, liberals were flipping the hell out because a mob of armed MAGA supporters stormed Michigan’s capitol to threaten the state government over the coronavirus lockdown. The problem with this, like everything liberals freak out over, is that it wasn’t remotely true. Yes, there was a protest against the fascist Michigan lockdown. Yes, some of those protesters were armed. No, there were not any threats and no, there was no storming. Michiganders are allowed to open carry in the capitol, and the entire affair was peaceful.
Losers on the left wore out their fainting couches playing whataboutism, speculating what would have happened if these protesters were black or Muslim. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez led the hysterics:
Think about how harshly #BlackLivesMatter & #AbolishICE activists were debased, called rioters, & treated as a threat to society.
Now watch & examine how this MAGA-armed rushing of a state legislature is treated.
This is for those who still think racial privilege is a fantasy. https://t.co/nEufuBRFKo

I guess it doesn’t matter to AOC that Black Live Matter actually did riot and burn their own neighborhoods, while helping themselves to consumer goods from local establishments. These Michigan protesters set no fires, turned over no police cars, and didn’t loot any of the area Walmarts.
Bestiality fan Cenk Uygar also sees racism in Michigan state police not killing peaceful mostly-white protesters:
If the armed protestors who stormed the state house in Michigan were black or Muslim, they’d be dead or in prison already. This is the definition of white privilege. If armed Muslims in military outfits went to a govt building to threaten legislators, they’d be shot on the spot.

Name one time a group of Muslims got together for a reason other than jihad. This is like comparing apples to suicide vests.
Lawyer for the democrats and Obama stooge Andrew Weinstein totally forgot who he used to work for:
Does anyone think that the gun toting protesters who stormed the Michigan state capitol today got this worked up when Flint didn’t have clean water.

The Flint water crisis happened under Obama’s watch and was exacerbated by Obama’s EPA. Also, Flint having lead in their water because democrats made bad decisions didn’t prevent people in Michigan from earning a living the way the unnecessary coronavirus lockdown has.
There’s plenty of outrage from the left but let’s look at the actual facts here. I know this is a foreign concept to liberals, but facts matter.
Michigan TV station WOOD reported on this incident with this headline: Temperatures taken as stay-home order protesters enter Capitol
When an armed mob is storming a building, do they usually stop to have their temperature taken? I’m going to say no on this one.
Somehow the report from the ground got even less scary than the liberal false narrative:
Protesters converged at the Capitol Building in Lansing Thursday to show their opposition to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Michigan.
While hundreds of people were in line to go in, fewer than 300 were allowed.
Do storming armed protesters wait in line to be let in? Again, I think no.
And about that racist white privilege thing:
Consuelo Cramer, an immigrant from Ecuador and now a U.S. citizen, said her background led her to the protest.
“I come from a socialist country, from a totalitarian country and I don’t want to see that in this country,” she said. “It’s about freedom, freedom, freedom.”
And about that violent protests thing:
While some protesters were armed, overall, the gathering was peaceful.
But hang on, there actually was one single arrest in this peaceful protest:
MSP said they arrested only one person: a man who took a flag from the hands of a child.
If someone stole a flag from a child, chances are that piece of shit was a leftist coward who is disgusted by an expressions of patriotism. The only person arrested in this “violent armed incursion” was an America-hating liberal dickhead.
When Black Lives Matter burned down and destroyed the cities of Ferguson and Baltimore, liberals including AOC called those riots peaceful expressions of 1st Amendment rights. When peaceful Michiganders protest for their right to earn a living and feed their families, liberals including AOC call it a violent racist attempt to overthrow the government.
