"President Donald Trump on Friday went on a lengthy Twitter rampage that included calls to "liberate" Michigan, Minnesota, and Virginia, an open show of support for right-wing demonstrators who are disregarding stay-at-home orders in those states to protest coronavirus social distancing guidelines.
The tweets, fired off in rapid succession late Friday morning, drew condemnation from advocacy groups and other critics who said the president should be focusing his attention on the lagging federal response to the deadly virus outbreak, not urging people to revolt against state guidelines.
"Why is this your priority?" asked Vanita Gupta, president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. "Stop tweeting. People are dying."
Public Citizen, a consumer advocacy group, pointed out that the president's tweets came after the U.S. on Thursday recorded its highest one-day coronavirus death toll to date at 4,591.
Trump's tweet-storm began with an all-caps call to "LIBERATE MINNESOTA," the slogan used by right-wing demonstrators who rallied outside the home of Minnesota's Democratic Gov. Tim Walz on Friday."
