Hundreds of protesters in several states, some driven by disproven conspiracy theories, have been gathering to decry stay-at-home orders and business closures as violations of their freedom. Watchdog group Media Matters for America found a direct link between a change in rhetoric on Fox News about social distancing restrictions, and the date the protests started popping up. Aired on 4/20/2020.

What’s Behind The Protests Against Social Distancing Restrictions? – Day That Was | MSNBC
Watching the latest news in America is like paying a visit to the zoo.
@Karl West Again Karl, have been to those hospitals to see for yourself?
@D Gh yes i have
Maybe I should move to the Netherlands lmao
Lmaooo that’s made me laugh so hard🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Chuck Schumer is a true fascist fun fact, imagine the body fighting two deadly diseases at once instead of just one. Shortage of lifespan if both are deadly or potential of it. Also, they can still infect others. Why do people see one thing (in this case, their death certificate) and assume everything is a lie. The virus is still real
The amount of stupidity that I see on a daily basis hurts my heart.
Fake News agencies staging Nurse protests here >> watch?v=ackpdogyNDQ
@patsap84 Tell that to the families of loved who’ve died from Covid 19, tough guy!
@patsap84 How do you know the President is being truthful!
@Kris Robinson If you thingamajig the whatchamacallit, you can oojamaflip the thingamadoodle.
Your face hurts my heart
Land of the free? At this point, it’s more “land of the dumb”!
@getawaycar understand that liberals believe in my state that we have the right to die. In the same sense, we also have the right to take our chances with the CoCo.
@getawaycar DJ Pony is the guy in the nurse costume!!! He works at a strip club in Adams County Colorado.
@gyr falcon still useless with the leader similar yours. Atleast my country take care his people and “so not high tech” hospital and ect still faster un engaging this situation and healed more patients than yours. What a shame. Almost 3-4 month still your country with HIGH TECH failed during this pendemic. One of the reason? People like you~ 👏👏
@J M i dont know whether to take this as sarcasm or serious. Alpha dogs? Definitely yes.
@getawaycar he said they’re the Alpha dogs. So they are. Bunch who use nose rather than brain.
Please tell them ” go to China” when they show up in hospital.
@Aoeiu Bpmftd that is pure BS. First of all you can’t believe any information that comes out of China. Second of all if they “controlled” it very well it wouldn’t have become the most wide spread pandemic in the history of mankind. Them lying and not informing the rest of the world for three months prior.. is pure evil.
@gyr falcon ok. but these idiots dont deserve any treatments. when the symptoms starts, theyre free to proceed to dig their own grave.
@Red Onion Alas, they do. Perhaps by doctors of their own opinion? Freedom of choice.
@Unknown Player Send them to Cuba, Señor Raul Castro will take care of them 💀.
Unknown Player your blaming China for how infectious COVID is? Your real smart
How stupid can a person be when they shout “THIS IS THE LAND OF THE FREE” in a try to silence a person who is also using that freedom to make a point.
@Doug Gentry “”Loosing” or “losing”?
I will not wear a mask
and I go outside all the time
I am not afraid to die
But would rather that than this
If other people get sick?
Who cares
democrats hate Trump supporters
But now they’re acting like they’re concerned for their health
They can’t even fake their hatred
So they’re watching a bunch of people they wish we’re dead
And angry because they might die?
Kind of transparent to me
They just want the country shut down
So Trump won’t win election
The liberals are so stupid
That’s how small their minds are
They didn’t think anyone would see through this trick
Everyone knew it from the beginning
@Roddy MacChlerich we are angry at Trump idiots because they will get innocent people sick in the process. Plus we have to deal with you at the hospital when you inevitably come in sick.
@Snowpine How did we get here?
http://www.bitchute.com/video/sbllwhHtn9wr
Imagine if Someone trespassing Your Property and they said “THIS IS THE LAND OF THE FREE”
how do you react to that?
What FREEDOM has to do with Virus ? To RETURN TO WORK ONLY to DIE ???!!
It is freedom without responsibility. Just like their cult leader says, ‘ I take no responsibility!’
so, working it is freedom without responsibility? 😉
I go outside without a mask all the time
Nobody tells me what to do
I am an American
If people get sick?
I don’t care
I don’t even like other people
@Roddy MacChlerich That’s the problem with America some of y’all just don’t care .No wonder why it’s falling apart since the pandemic
@Yarou that dude you are answering to is probably a troll. Some people are possibly as you say others (the majority) are responsible citizens in all. So nothing is really falling apart. If you look at the “statistics” of deaths vs population. Some people are brainwashed by communist propaganda, other are the complete opposite. Any extremism without due information is blatantly ignorant. This does not mean that rights can be taken away if people act responsibly towards the society they live in. Sheltering in place might be useful during chem warfare (depending on the agent). For others, people can just use common sense when they are around/nearing other people.
That’s not freedom. That’s self-indulgence.
Those who want a “re-open” should sign a contract agreeing that when they get infected, they will not expect to be treated – putting healthcare workers at risk for their stupidity
@Red Divinity Maybe you sign a waiver, to refuse medical help if you get Covid 19, since you think you’re so tough!
You guys should really implement that.
Absolutely they should stay home and don’t go to the hospitals they are bringing this on them selves.
@D Gh How can you tell they are doctors? From their clothing? you are smarted than Einstein 😉
@calvin clark – actually the risk of death is even smaller, bellow 1%. Standford university claims is around 0.2- 0.3%. I also want to add that holistic doctors have healed all of their patients. No fatality rates there. Of course, holistic doctors care about patients and they don’t get orders from Bill Gates 😉
Since they don’t care about their health they should carry a card that says: if I get covid19 don’t treat me or my family because I don’t believe this is real!
@Karl West I see your point and agree with you. It either die of Covid19 or of hunger. Pick your poison.
@randomninja But if you catch the Coronavirus, would you risk bringing it back home to put your family and loved ones at risk because of your selfishness, because of your willingness to fall on the sacrificial sword of the economy just to keep The Orange Messiah in office and his bootlickers Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham in control of the Senate? Why don’t you sign a waiver stating that should you come down with Covid 19, you refuse medical help, since you think you’re so tough?
Here you can see hard core data, never seen on MSM, about the Plandemic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I46oFxp5L0 Dr. Shiva is a graduate of MIT, invented email, and is currently poised to run for Senator, in Massachusetts.
and I don’t care for them Either
I mean the Protesters
They do care about health. They want their lives back
“Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”
― George Carlin
Dammit, I miss that man.😔😔😔
@Jay Cee Past that point? How do you know, Jay?
@Jay Cee You want to get infected, tough guy, be my guest, as long as you don’t endanger anyone else with your nihlism!
@Jay Cee OK, whatever you say, tough guy!
@D Gh – I’m not sure which comment you’re responding to, but I wear a mask and practice social distancing. But people have the right to protest. What’s your actual position here… we have Constitutional rights but should be “smart enough” not to exercise them, and if we do, we should be punished? That doesn’t make much sense, does it?
I always wondered why so many people die in foreseeable natural disasters like: hurricanes, floods, and wild fires. Now I literally see why. Apparently there is a lot of “I know better, and I’m too smart to die” people out there.
@Jeffrey Cheng Viruses can sure be man modified, spliced etc.
@muqeet khan Would leave a signature only if wanted. Some literature on Pubmed on virus cloning says that in some instances you cannot tell them apart once mutated.
gyr falcon Oh well, I will just die from the virus!
Jeffrey Cheng Yes, example trump!
@Robert Allardice and that is in reply to?
The mantra I say every day when I wake up:
“I’m thankful that I’m above the ground,
and not under it.
I’m thankful that I’m breathing through my own lungs,
and not a ventilator.
I’m thankful no one I know and love has contracted COVID-19.”
These people are unbelievable. Dead people can’t shop, work or consume. This is beyond tragic.
This idiots must not qualify for any medical treatments when they contracted the virus. They dont care about the sacrifices of those health care workers.
Protesters: I WANNA GO TO WORK!!
Corona: SO DO I, WHERE YOU AT?!
Oh cool you just cut and paste the guy above you!
@Red Divinity Bingo!!!
That’s what we call it as “typical infringement of copyright””
I plead guilty, your Honor. 🙂
China: let americans destroy themselves with their stupidity.
You don’t get it. It’s not about China against America or any country against any other. It’s about world wide oligarchs against the normal people. Yes, the world leaders may fight one another and want one another’s resources but they all want serf populaces under them.

I thought America was quite intelligent….I guess not..?
@云集ଓ I have seen so many people from other nations using this scare as an excuse to get on YT and insult this country. Like their countries are perfect?
The truth is the whole world ain’t too smart. I attribute a lot of that to excess t.v. watching. It puts people in a trance state, the better to sell products and propaganda.
Or, maybe you were looking to America to be the savior of the world. Don’t count on that.
There is a Savior. Do you know Him?
This nation, and the world, are deep in sin. Full term healthy newborns are now at risk of being murdered in abortion clinics (which have been allowed to operate during lockdowns) in this country. In New Zealand, maybe China, that’s perfectly legal. In China barbarous forced organ harvesting is legal. Drug abuse is the true pandemic. Devil worship is way on the rise, especially with the young. And so on.
In ancient Israel when the Israelites sacrificed their babies to Molech and otherwise egregiously offended the Lord, he LET them be deceived and disaster followed.
I think the chances are very poor that this nation or the world will repent. But I believe the same Biblical principle can apply to us personally, and that we can be blessed and protected if we walk closely with the Father in obedience. But ask Him!
@Lorica Lass ik the whole world isnt smart,ik everyone is equal.
I just don’t understand why can’t they at least wear a mask?!
@云集ଓ – because masks are just the first step toward slavery. They don’t save lives. Vit D saves lives. Vit C save lives. Oxygen saves lives. Lack of fear saves lives. Stress kills people, fear kills people, stupidity kills people.
For putting people at risk.
Take there names Down and dont let them in the hospital. And get them a ticket for exposing danger to the community.
I feel sorry for the doctors, nurses, health workers and front of house workers…it will be these idiots that will end up in hospital taking up the beds instead of those who really need it!!!
This is natural selection at it’s peak. i feel sorry for those innocent kids tho.
The world is literally laughing at this nation.
A. R. Quite frankly I don’t give a crap if you think I’m immature as long as I’m successful! 😁
@Robert Miller I thought making money was what you are supposed to do in the USA…u being successful isn’t a rare thing in the USA 😉. I know you want to feel special but you ……I’ll let you finish.lol
A.R. You good sir, just proved my point, that the US is a prosperous country! Have a good day sir! 😀😀😀
@Robert Miller wow so you lie on your self. Reread your own comments…
hahahaha
In there childhood they were probably spoiled and never got disclipine that’s why there so selfish
