The View’s Meghan McCain questions Whitmer’s authority after Michigan gov says she fears an outbreak of political violence

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has faced armed demonstrators and assassination threats over her stay-at-home orders, and “The View” co-host Meghan McCain argued those armed mobs might have a point.
The Democratic governor has extended social distancing guidelines to halt the spread of the deadly coronavirus, and Whitmer admitted to guest co-host Sara Haines that the threats worried her.
“I would be not truthful if I said it didn’t bother me, it certainly does,” Whitmer said.
She thanked Michigan State Police for their protection and lamented that state law allowed guns at the Capitol.
“What we saw last week and what we anticipate seeing tomorrow is those arms being used to intimidate others, being brandished in a way that is to strike fear into others, and that is not legal activity,” Whitmer said. “So this is a terribly concerning development in that we have legislators who are showing up to work wearing bulletproof vests. That is disenfranchising thousands of people in our state if their legislator doesn’t feel safe to go to work and do what their job is. No one should stand in our way of doing our jobs, and I respect people’s right to dissent, but that does not extend to endangering other people’s lives and we take it very seriously.”
