Dr. Scott Atlas urges Michigan to ‘rise up’ against governor
Whitmer responded to Atlas’ tweet Sunday night on CNN, accusing him of bullying, the Washington Post reported.
Responding to Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s announcement of a three-week lockdown closing colleges, high schools, workplaces and in-person dining, White House coronavirus adviser Dr. Scott Atlas called on citizens to protest.
“The only way this stops is if people rise up,” Atlas wrote in a tweet Sunday night, citing information about Whitmer’s new restrictions. “You get what you accept. #FreedomMatters #StepUp.”
Whitmer responded to Atlas’ tweet Sunday night on CNN, accusing him of bullying, the Washington Post reported.
“We know that the White House likes to single us out here in Michigan, me out in particular,” she said. “I’m not going to be bullied into not following reputable scientists and medical professionals.”
