'We want to open Michigan. We want to open it safely... We want to let our fishermen fish. We want to let our farmers farm,' said one protester on his loudspeaker as 'God Bless the U.S.A.' blared on his stereo.
"We want to open Michigan... We want to let our fishermen fish. We want to let our farmers farm," Cortis said on the loudspeaker while wearing a face mask and blaring"God Bless the U.S.A." on his stereo.
"We want to open it safely," Cortis continued."Governor Whitmer said that she'll talk to anybody to get the state back open. Well, I'm here and I'm with people and others and we want the state open. So you can call me to reach out to me. The police have my number... I'll work together to make Michigan great again."
Several other cars followed Cortis' vehicle, many honking their horns and some flying Trump flags from their rooftops. People protest against excessive quarantine amid the coronavirus pandemic at the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing, Michigan on April 15, 2020. The protest was organized by Michiganders Against Excessive Quarantine several days after Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer extended her order through April 30 and took the requirements of staying home a step further, banning crossing the street to visit with neighbors or driving to see friends, among other things mandatory closure to curtail Covid-19.
"It wasn't really about the stay-at-home order at all," Whitmer said."It was essentially a political rally, a political statement that flies in the face of all of the science, all of the best practices in the stay-at-home order that was issued. This was a political rally.... that is going to endanger people's lives because this is precisely how Covid-19 spreads."
