Michigan United for Liberty, a group against Michigan’s “lockdown,” recently led a protest at Michigan’s state capitol. Hundreds of people showed up, many of them armed, to demand that Michigan be opened up for business. The group has participated in several protests since April.
Michigan’s Democrat governor, Gretchen Whitmer, imposed a lockdown on the state and has “doubled down,” extending it to May 28.
Now Hillary Clinton, failed presidential candidate, but still a VIP in the Democrat party, weighed in on the controversy, signaling Whitmer to begin to use terms like “domestic terrorism” when talking about the protests.
Armed men storming a legislature to disrupt its democratic proceedings is domestic terrorism. It cannot be tolerated.https://t.co/NcCFgA5COE

Fact Check
Here is the legal definition of domestic terrorism according to The Patriot Act.
SEC. 802. DEFINITION OF DOMESTIC TERRORISM. (a) Domestic Terrorism Defined.–Section 2331 of title 18, United States Code, is amended– (1) in paragraph (1)(B)(iii), by striking “by assassination or kidnapping” and inserting “by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping”; (2) in paragraph (3), by striking “and”; (3) in paragraph (4), by striking the period at the end and inserting “; and”; and (4) by adding at the end the following: “(5) the term `domestic terrorism’ means activities that– “(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; “(B) appear to be intended– “(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; “(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or “(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and “(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.”
Whew. For those still awake after that, there is a point. The term “domestic terrorism” is a lever for Whitmer and other wanna-be tyrants to get the federal government involved in crushing dissent.
Listen for the media, Democrats, and Whitmer to start using that term. There are legal consequences for domestic terrorism. If Whitmer can successfully attach that label to Michigan United for Liberty, even in the minds of a few, that would trigger federal interference in the protests in Michigan.
But so far, it is not illegal in Michigan to open carry firearms, no matter how much Democrat politicians want it to be. So the Michigan protests do not fall under the definition in the Patriot Act because no criminal act has been done in order to intimidate or influence the policy of conduct of the government.
Protests in New York
Some people in New York are also protesting lockdowns. One reporter, trying to get a story at a protest, was not made to feel very welcome. He describes the group that organized the protest as far-right and supportive of President Trump. Perhaps that is why the protesters told him that fake news was not “essential” and that he should go away.
I’ll probably never forget what happened today.
I was insulted. I was berated. I was practically chased by people who refused to wear masks in the middle of a pandemic.
All the while, I was there to tell THEIR story. Here’s the finished product. pic.twitter.com/HV2Hrcs7gi— Kevin Vesey (@KevinVesey) May 14, 2020
The protests in many states goes to show how frustrated and desperate many Americans are feeling as they lose their livelihoods, their way of life, and their hope that things will go back to “normal.”
Please sound off in the comments and let us know what your experience has been. Have you lost your job? Has anyone you know had the coronavirus? Are you tired of the lockdowns?

And, I believe the Hillhag is a domestic terrorist, against the true Americans.
the Mich. gov. should be run off with double barrel shot gun loaded with bird shot.
I love a Trump an American that loves his country
The Democrats are a disgrace, President Trump is right, this never should’ve happened to anybody ever. I don’t know if we can ever get back to normal again or not, but the Democrats have got to be stopped. Pelosi has got to go, also Schumer, enough is enough😡 They can’t stop prosecuting all these people that are involved in this disgrace over Trumps presidency. Trying to take him out before he was even president, if somethings not done, I don’t think the people will ever get over this. Somebody has to pay and go to jail Or prison. Why do all these Democrats have so much power I don’t understand that, when the Republicans always back down and never follow through. This time they’ve got too, Or it’s just over, Dems win. You’ve got to continue your fight👍
If anyone is a terrorist it is this low life
skank. The FBI failed to indict her. Had they
done their job..we wouldn’t have to see
her face now. Maybe it isn’t too late..I
think several of these low lifes would look
good in a cell.
No ankle bracelets for Hillary…don’t make
them that big.
How about the ankle chains for elephants, Ross- double them for Killery-
Why does anybody give crooked Hillary any print time, tv time or media attention at all? She isn’t news worthy to many of us but because she is a crooked liberal Democrat she is news worthy to MSM. That is the only thing I can figure out as to why they cover her.
Since she is using that particular label to the protesting, which is completely inaccurate by definition….how does she feel about the term Treasonous acts, which by the way, defines her past actions! That would amount to PRISON for life! Why does she even have any voice in anything Political or anything else for that matter??? Lock her up already!
By definition, those men were doing nothing akin to domestic terrorism. She purposefully incites violence with her choice of words.
Obama spoke at two high school graduations. As usual, his childish remarks to high schoolers were absurd. What kind of person tells high school graduates that the current administration fouled up the handling of the corona virus? Shouldn’t he have been focused on the graduates?
Disgisting
I agree she should have been jailed a long time ago …that alone shows how corrupt Washington is ….
Clinton has a lot of gall opening her lying murdering yap! Talk about your domestic terrorist! She should be in prison for Treason! What a disgusting disgrace she is! She is a twice failed presidential candidate with a bad attitude and no common sense or decency! Her past comment that she supported partial birth abortion was enough for me! What a filthy monster she became! She needs sit down and shut her stupid irrelevant mouth! Nobody wants to hear from this useless hag!
I feel for the people who are still
In lockdown. It is important to get our country back to work. People have to be able to feel their families and pay their bills. If they own a small business it will never last if they can’t open up. It’s easy to say stay at home when your are getting a pay check but when you are like most of us it is essential to be able to go to work. For those that want to stay home let them but most people want to get back to living.
The right to protest peacefully is guaranteed by the Constitution. The right to bare arms is also guaranteed by the Second Amendment. I don’t recall any of these armed protesters shooting anyone. Americans protested and revolted against the English. I would not call them domestic terrorists.
Hillary is a disgrace to the world. People in America can’t stand her, they are through with her as it was reflected in the 2016 election. Get in the basement. Crocked Hillary!!!
Hillary the old hag, has lost twice but she doesn’t catch on no one likes her .
I am glad that Hillary continues to remind America that……in 2016…..we got it right……..she was and is irrelevant…….!!!!
Hill o’Beans should get a life…she is only heard when she has an insult for Conservatives. We do not give a hillo’beans what she says.
Any comment made by Hillary Clinton is not worth commenting on!!!
Who cares what this evil woman says?
Hillary should be in prison. Normal person would have already been there. I truly believe the MI governor is overstepping the boundary. This is a free country and maybe she should remember that!!!
OLD Crooked Hillary still calling Republican’s names…how funny! Her mind is so fried she will never understand what we think about her! There aren’t even enough words in the English language that describe what a low-life she is. I, for one, admire the people that are protesting. They are brave American’s fighting for their rights to work AND make a living. The government has no legal right to keep people from their jobs. ALL American’s that love this country are fed-up with the Leftist trying to take away our freedom AND our rights! It’s been many years since Democrat’s have worked FOR this country. They are so power-hungry & money-hungry that they no longer have any idea what disgusting people they have become. AND the “Hollywood Elites” are right there with them, and are no longer admired or respected by anyone. They are too stupid to realize that the Democratic Party are using their so called “fame” [??] to further their cause. We all know that they want the country to stay shut down as long as possible so they can further their agenda of total control with their little monthly checks to make us dependent on them. American’s are smarter than that!! That is why there are protests!! Come Election Day I pray that everyone votes straight REPUBLICAN and gets rid of all these crooked Leftist…..EVERY ONE OF THEM!!! GIVE”M HELL DONALD TRUMP !!!
I do vote straight Republican ticket Saves our country and saves time voting. 💕Thank you President Trump
I agree wholeheartedly with Lucas McCane above and so Many of the others. She is Pathetic.
All the more reason that we can be thankful she wasn’t our president. This type of speech is another reason for the people of our country to use their heads in the upcoming election to be mindful of any candidate who think like she does or supports a dictatorial mindset. We have seen too many trying to destroy our constitutional way of governing as a means of taking away our God given rights.
Her voice is of no greater importance than those she chooses to ridicule.
Let’s see, the armed American patriots protesting (which is a first amendment right) for freedom not hurting anyone vs. antifa destroying property by breaking windows burning things and beating people. Who are the terrorists?
Killary and Bill should have been jailed and or Executed for terrorism long ago THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE DEFINITION OF A DOMESTIC TERRORIST JUST FROM THEIR ATTACK ON PRESIDENT TRUMPS PRESIDENCY FROM THE BEGINNING SELLING URANIUM TO A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT HER ROLL IN BENGAUZI AND THE MANY DEATHS IN HER WAKE OF THOSE WHO HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THE CLINTONS DIRTY DEALINGS. SHE AND OTHERS WHO SUPPORT THIS LOCK DOWN AND FRAUD FAUCHI, GATES AND THE NWO CREATED PLANDEMIC TO GET THE WORLD MICROCHIPPED LIKE ANIMALS TO TRACK AND ENSLAVE ALL HUMANS A
R
E
TERRORISTS IN THE MIDST OF TERRORISM…..
REVERAND
RICK.
Democrats like Obama and Clinton should be in jail for everything they have done to break laws in the past. Anyone willing to listen to what they have say need more help than they do.. If any American Citizen did what Hillary did with her computer to destroy evidence in a Federal Investigation they would be in jail with no questions asked and Obama made it very clear to his DOJ that they would not prosecute in her case..
she’s a pig – “oink oink oink” – the only language she understands!
The Leftist are the ultimate evil in our country! May our Almighty Heavenly Father protect us from the terror they are trying to unleash! The murder of millions of babies is an abomination to America!
Jezebel will meet her demise at the hands of people that are closed to her.
36 « … And he said, “This is the word of the Lord, which He spoke by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘On the plot of ground at Jezreel dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel;
37 « and the corpse of Jezebel shall be as refuse on the surface of the field, in the plot at Jezreel, so that they shall not say, “Here lies Jezebel.” ’ ”
2Kings 9:36-37

Does anyone still take Clinton seriously? It sure doesn’t sound like it from all the responses here, Thank God!
These lock downs are way over-exaggerated and over-extended in every state run by Democrats! Every one of them is violating your Constitutional rights, and citizens must start fighting back to get your rights back and states re-opened! The entire country cannot stay locked down while waiting for a vaccine! This pandemic is no worse than any other one we’ve had over hundreds of years, and the Democrats are lying to their constituents while perpetuating false scenarios and agendas against anyone gullible enough to believe them! Dr. Fauci has changed his positions back & forth regarding too many issues & questions, and is not to be believed as the only source of information on this subject! He has also been lying to the public about the best cure available to fight it! How would you feel if you were to discover we’ve been lied to for months about this virus, and that it isn’t nearly as bad as we have been led to believe by many well PAID liars!
My state has a Republican governor, and we haven’t had many restrictions, and we also aren’t being overrun by many new cases! All Republican run states seem to be recovering well with re-opening. Many medical doctors are saying people need to be outside in fresh air, and wearing masks all the time creates more germs that we keep inhaling with masks on!
Every death since this started in January is being attributed to COVID19 whether it is factual or not! Medical professionals are not happy about being told to lie regarding cause of death because the death rates for the virus are being greatly over-stated around the entire world, which in my mind makes it seem more like a hoax against every human being on the planet! In my personal opinion, this entire situation has been over-stated to distract our citizen voters from the upcoming election!
Good luck getting our country back everyone!
AMERICANS standing up to a Tyrannical government, that’s our right under the CONSTITUTION!!!! So Hillary as usual you prove that you are the Domestic Terrorist!
Hitlery, STFU. You are not the boss, never was, never will be. You are a terrorist, a crook and a murderer. All you care about is destroying our Republic and money for yourself. You care nothing about others (ie. Bengazhi) and all you serve is yourself. Selfish, self righteous people like you deserve no respect and we are tired of this big mouthed liar, her friends and cohorts who are the same and we will not take it any longer. So go away before your are put away forever. You make GOD cry and make the world a very sad place.
They are above the law like her sister Nancy Pelosi domestic terrorism we will remove the PRESIDENT one way or the other. Hate crimes, murder, murders babies, lie, destroy lives they use there fathers biggest tool all the time lie,lie,lie they all follow the same road. GOD will repay …….. They can lie to the world but GOD knows all things. Revenge is mine says the LORD
I always spent my half an hour to read this web site’s articles or reviews daily along with a mug of coffee.
Very good article! We are linking to this particularly great content on our site. Keep up the great writing.
I’m the business owner of JustCBD Store label (justcbdstore.com) and am looking to grow my wholesale side of business. I really hope that anybody at targetdomain is able to provide some guidance ! I considered that the best way to do this would be to reach out to vape companies and cbd retail stores. I was hoping if someone could suggest a reputable site where I can get Vape Shop B2B Data List I am currently looking at creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. Not exactly sure which one would be the most ideal choice and would appreciate any advice on this. Or would it be easier for me to scrape my own leads? Suggestions?
The next time I read a blog, Hopefully it doesn’t disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, however I truly believed you would have something useful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of moaning about something that you could fix if you were not too busy seeking attention.
May I simply just say what a relief to find somebody who actually knows what they’re talking about on the internet. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people need to check this out and understand this side of your story. It’s surprising you are not more popular because you certainly have the gift.
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy I came across this in my hunt for something concerning this.
That is a really good tip especially to those new to the blogosphere. Simple but very precise information… Many thanks for sharing this one. A must read post!
Howdy! This article couldn’t be written any better! Looking at this post reminds me of my previous roommate! He always kept talking about this. I will send this information to him. Fairly certain he will have a great read. I appreciate you for sharing!
Right here is the perfect webpage for anyone who wishes to find out about this topic. You understand so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually will need to…HaHa). You definitely put a fresh spin on a topic that’s been written about for years. Excellent stuff, just wonderful!
I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something that too few people are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I came across this in my search for something relating to this.
Hello there! This article couldn’t be written much better! Looking at this post reminds me of my previous roommate! He always kept preaching about this. I am going to send this information to him. Pretty sure he’ll have a great read. I appreciate you for sharing!
Having read this I thought it was very informative. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this article together. I once again find myself personally spending a significant amount of time both reading and posting comments. But so what, it was still worthwhile!
