Michigan lawmakers deny Gov. Whitmer's request to keep the state under lockdown.

Beginning this morning under a steady rainfall, hundreds of protestors, many of whom were armed, gathered at Michigan's capitol building to protest Governor Whitmer's edict to keep the state in lockdown. Valerie Edwards has a biased report supportive of the Governor here.

Images showed hundreds of protesters descending on the Capitol for the 'American Patriot Rally' that was organized by Michigan United for Liberty while the Michigan House decided whether to extend Whitmer's state of emergency for 28 more days.

Ultimately, the lawmakers denied Whitmer's request and passed a resolution authorizing the Speaker of the House to commence legal action, challenging the governor's authority and actions during the pandemic. Whitmer is unable to veto the resolution.
