Armed protesters in camo gear, a Trump float, and the ‘MAGA dance’: Hundreds continue anti-lockdown demonstrations as supporters of the president descend on Michigan governor’s mansion and Kansas’ state capitol demanding states reopen economy

Armed anti-government protesters descended on the state capitol in Kansas while supporters of President Trump did the ‘MAGA dance’ near a large float outside the governor’s mansion in Lansing, Michigan, on Thursday as protests continued against state-mandated closures of businesses during the pandemic.

Hundreds of people protested Thursday against Kansas Governor Laura Kelly’s stay-at-home order for the state, many waving signs on sidewalks while others drove slowly around the Statehouse in Topeka.

Similar protests have been held across the country, with participants contending stay-at-home orders are damaging the economy and violate their civil rights. Health and government officials argue the orders are the best way to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
