Gretchen Whitmer (D) on Friday criticized conservative media members for \u201cinciting and encouraging people to break the law\u201d with their coverage of the Freedom Convoy.<\/p>\n<p>Whitmer said on CNN\u2019s \u201cNew Day\u201d that the Canadian trucker protests in the name of pushing back against coronavirus restrictions were devastating to the U.S. economy because families and businesses rely on them. She warned conservative media that encouraging the protests was \u201cdownright dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cObviously, we cannot incite and encourage people to break the law, especially when it means they are throwing other Americans out of work and creating an economic crisis that we were just recovering from,\u201d Whitmer emphasized.<br \/>\u201c[I] t\u2019s dangerous,\u201d she added. \u201cThey\u2019re inciting and encouraging people to break the law. And to do so in a way that devastates so many hard-working people \u2014 this is families, this is businesses in America that rely on this commerce free-flowing. This is five days, and it has already taken a toll of tens of millions of dollars. That number compounds over time. And any encouragement for people to replicate this and break the law and devastate our economy is not just devastating to our national bottom line but to individual households, to businesses, to agriculture. So, it\u2019s incredibly, I think, you know, unhelpful and downright dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Trent Baker&nbsp;on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MagnifiTrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@MagnifiTrent<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michigan Gov.
