Trump COVID-19 Adviser Tells Michigan to 'Rise Up' Against New Measures


 Trump put Dr. Scott Atlas on the coronavirus task force, and now Atlas is under fire after he took to Twitter to criticize the new COVID-19 restrictions put in place by Michigan.

Atlas took to Twitter and tweeted “The only way this stops is if people rise up. You get what you accept. #FreedomMatters #StepUp.” However, once the backlash to his statement started rolling, Atlas followed up with another tweet saying “Hey. I NEVER was talking at all about violence. People vote, people peacefully protest. NEVER would I endorse or incite violence. NEVER!!!”

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has responded to Atlas’ tweet, saying “We know that the White House likes to single us out here in Michigan, me out in particular. I'm not going to be bullied into not following reputable scientists and medical professionals." Stay tuned for more details.
