Preview For This Week's Top 10 Conservative Idiots
Washington (CNN)White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Scott Atlas criticized Michigan's new Covid-19 restrictions in a tweet shortly after they were announced Sunday evening, urging people to "rise up" against the new public health measures.
"The only way this stops is if people rise up," Atlas said. "You get what you accept. #FreedomMatters #StepUp"
His message -- which runs counter to the consensus of public health officials -- is likely to fuel new tension between the White House and Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, whom federal and state officials announced last month was the target of an alleged domestic terrorism kidnapping plot.

Gee seriously what could go wrong there? We already have one petulant man child attempting to stage a coup the last thing we need are clones!
*canned audience laughter and applause*
This week the Top 10 is all new live from Burbank! Trump is attempting to stage a coup and it's backfiring on him, we have highlights from the 2020 Million MAGA March, SCOTUS is turning into a shit show under Trump, Trump declares war on Fox News, Mitch McConnell somehow got re-elected, and Ben Shapiro really hates the concept of gender bending. Plus in our weekly investigative piece, Top 10 Investigates, we break down the annual grab bag of California's big money propositions - what were the winners and losers? And in our weekly visit to the Holy Church Of The Top 10 in "Holy Shit" - our resident pastor checks in with Northern California hipster cult megachurch pastor Sean Feucht - and what's up with his "Let Us Worship" events? You'll catch more than just the lord there! We also have a new "I Need A Drink" - why are celebrities like Ryan Reynolds buying controlling stakes in EFL teams? It is quite a mystery! And in "Road To The White House" - everyone is calling on Trump to concede but he won't do it! WTF!
