      David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Senator Dayna Polehanki

      Sen. Polehanki is my state senator, and this is what is happening in Michigan. It's horrifying and it just goes to show how @MIGOP has enabled right wing extremists. It wouldn't take much for this to turn into a violent tragedy.https://twitter.com/SenPolehanki/status/1255899318210314241 …

      Directly above me, men with rifles yelling at us. Some of my colleagues who own bullet proof vests are wearing them. I have never appreciated our Sergeants-at-Arms more than today. #mileg pic.twitter.com/voOZpPYWOs

      This is terrorism, plain and simple. Open carry laws do nothing other than to let gun loving extremists control public spaces and intimidate anyone who might want to counterprotest into silence.

      In Lansing, a group of #COVIDIOTS are protesting in the State Capitol. As it was two weeks ago, people from counties with little #COVID19 are spending hours mingling with people from hard-hit cuties (e.g., Oakland and Wayne) with no social distancing.

      These #COVIDIOTS will then head home, to bring #COVID19 with them to all parts of the state, there to spread it. These aren't just fools. They are fools dangerous to public health and to everyone around them, particularly the gun-toting fools.

      Be safe, @SenPolehanki, both from #COVID19 AND the gun toting #COVIDIOTS.

      One last thought. Have you noticed how...monochromatic...these #COVIDIOTS are? Can you imagine how much different the law enforcement response would have been if a gang of gun toting people of color had gathered around the Capitol Building? I can.

      OK, one more thought: My friends and Twitter followers from elsewhere in the world look at scenes like this and conclude that America has gone mad. It's hard to argue with them when militia members, who are basically fascist, can walk into a state capitol brandishing firearms.

      I have to walk away from Twitter for at least a couple hours, maybe the rest of the day. Seeing #COVIDIOTS endangering public health and intimidating legislators like this is bad for my blood pressure.

          White men bring guns to protests, a) bc they have the privilege to get away w/ it, and b) bc they don't have the courage or fortitude to protest like this... pic.twitter.com/vVRJjsycNM

          Having a similar feeling right now. My stomach is twisted in fear for people.
