Economist Stephen Moore, who is on President Trump's council tasked with reopening the country, said he is helping plan a protest of Wisconsin's state-at-home order and compared those protesting such directives to Rosa Parks.
Moore said in a YouTube video this week that he was working on a "drive-in" in Wisconsin to protest the state's stay-at-home order issued by Gov. Tony Evers (D). Theyre going to shut down the Capitol. Shh. Dont tell anybody, Moore said of those protesting the order.
"This is a great time for civil disobedience. We need to be the Rosa Parks here and protest against these government injustices," he added later. I call these people the modern-day Rosa Parks they are protesting against injustice and a loss of liberties, he added.
Moore:
"I think actually think we should have started this a week or two ago," Moore said. "I think we lean way too much in the direction of keeping the economy shut down to try to save every life, not realizing that we're causing huge hardship for citizens ... and we're going to suffer a big loss of living standards because of this."
Moore said that an unnamed donor had pledged to pay the bail and legal fees for anyone who gets arrested during the rally. Were going to see a lot more of [the protests], Moore said. So this is a great time, gentleman and ladies, for civil disobedience."
