Gretchen Whitmer (D) to close down the state immediately, further endangering the economic lives of her citizens, despite widespread economic damage from the state\u2019s earlier round of lockdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on an <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/ep-182-emergency-podcast-system-shut-down-michigan\/id1490354763?i=1000516877831\">emergency episod<\/a>e of his podcast \u201cRumble,\u201d Moore said that the rising number of COVID cases in the state has created a \u201ctragedy\u201d that he called upon Whitmer to correct. According to Moore, Whitmer has been crippled by fear from the many violent threats she has received.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hate to say this, because I voted for her for governor, but she has been scared by people who seek to do violence to her, who bullied her,\u201d Moore said. \u201cThe business community \u2014 the Chamber of Commerce \u2014 who have insisted that she reopen everything and this has brought a tragedy upon this upon the state, and so I need everybody\u2019s help in pressuring \u2026 Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, to close things down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moore insisted that Whitmer should ignore the cries of the business community, recommending that they apply for government help to keep themselves afloat. He also highlighted that Whitmer comes from a business background and is not anti-business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo not listen to the business community. Yes, they are losing money,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are programs to help them with getting some of this money back, and what they can\u2019t get back, there should be other programs that the Biden administration establishes so that these businesses don\u2019t go bankrupt.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.8509316770186\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">URGENT. Michigan is in its own epidemic tonight. The UK variant is everywhere. 40% of new covid cases are young adults between 20-40.  My plea tonight: Shut down the state. Send more vaccine. You can help. Listen to my emergency podcast on Apple <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uFwOFNka9U\">https:\/\/t.co\/uFwOFNka9U<\/a> &amp; Spotify.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Michael Moore (@MMFlint) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MMFlint\/status\/1381777577929551873?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 13, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Moore said that Whitmer needs to shut down everything and pushed more fear by stressing that the pandemic could last as many as three or four years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShut down the restaurants, the bars, the businesses,\u201d Moore said. \u201cPeople, stay home, just for a little bit. Stay home from school, just for a little bit. We made a mistake in reopening the state of Michigan too soon. Stop this back and forth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director has also called upon Whitmer to shut down the state of Michigan, a move that Republican lawmakers in the state <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/coronavirus-michigan-cdc-shutdown-republicans\">sharply rebuked<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s clear that Michigan is a hot spot for COVID-19. To prevent further spread and save lives, the Biden Administration should adopt a surge strategy and increase vaccine allocation to Michigan instead of advocating for shutting down the economy,\u201d said Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-MI). \u201cManufacturers, restaurants, and small businesses alike are still trying to recover from the mandated government shutdowns over the past year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShutting down the economy again is not the answer,\u201d the congressman added.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Moore has been fear-mongering about the pandemic since the outset. In December of last year, the documentary filmmaker told Trump supporters to wear masks and socially distance, warning that their deaths would kill Republican leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have two words for MAGA Nation: Don\u2019t Die,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CITq-dbHnA6\/?utm_source=ig_embed\">he said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour love of and loyalty to Trump isn\u2019t worth your life,\u201d he added. \u201cWith 73 million of you refusing to wear a mask and to social distance, there\u2019ll be no way to eradicate this disease. And a lot of you are going to die.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moore likened the death rate to al-Qaeda killing Americans every 37 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy do you want to infect your spouse, your parents, your children? By now, despite your bluster and anger, I KNOW that YOU know that this pandemic is real,\u201d he said. \u201cOne person is dying every 37 seconds? What do you think that is? If al-Qaeda started killing one American every 37 seconds, what would you want to do about that? Why are you doing NOTHING to stop this slaughter? What will it take for you and I to join, arm in arm, to kill Covid-19? The death of your mother? Your son? Where\u2019s the exact line where you\u2019ll say enough is enough?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
