On Thursday, armed protesters demonstrated against Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home orders. They carried guns and demanded that state police let them on the House floor, effectively storming the Capitol with firearms in order to threaten their local politicians. Friday morning, Michigan representatives went to work wearing bulletproof vests — all because they chose to try and protect their citizens during an unprecedented pandemic.
