Protesters in Michigan and other states claim to speak for ordinary citizens, but are also supported by street-fighting far-right groups.

While protesters in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and other states claim to speak for ordinary citizens, many are also supported by street-fighting rightwing groups like the Proud Boys, conservative armed militia groups, religious fundamentalists, anti-vaccination groups and other elements of the radical right.

They would portray someone on line, coordinate time and place with different groups, choose a venue...arrange everything, and at the last minute back out because of sickness or whatever, and have someone take over. Slick. I'm sure our intelligence agencies are fully aware on some level. After all, they do it too.

and other right wing groups. Gov. Cooper's Republican opponent, Trump ass kisser Dan Forest has been polticizing the shut down from day one. Journalists need to make this clear. Brian Williams did say the other night that the DeVos family and groups associated with them were behind the Michigan protests.

The people who brought us vouchers for church school and de-funding of public school.
