President Trump has defended Americans’ rights to safely protest during the COVID-19 pandemic.
When asked about the growing number of protests around the country, Trump said that some governors got “carried away.”
He specifically called out Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who banned the sale of fruit and vegetable seeds while allowing lottery tickets to be sold.
Other governors such as Virginia’s Ralph Northan have appeared to use the crisis to push partisan policies. Northam has restricted gun sales during the COVID-19 crisis.
