A few hundred protestors gathered outside the Minnesota Governor& #39;s Mansion Saturday to demonstrate against the state shutdown in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, urging the Walz administration to ease off of sweeping restrictions. @StarTribune
Shortly after the protest started, a group of four counter-protesters arrived, donning medical scrubs. Three of them say they work as emergency nurses at a local ER.
They were met with cheers and jeers, with some protestors thanking them for their work and others claiming they were crisis actors looking for a viral moment.
One of the counter protesters says he& #39;s a Trump supporter. He said he hopes to show protestors that his presence wasn& #39;t political and that he actually supports the president. His wife works as a registered nurse and he was there to support her and others in the profession.
The protest today was held as the state announced it& #39;s deadliest day yet, with 23 Minnesotans dying from COVID-19 and another 244 confirmed infections. https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-deaths-up-23-to-244-in-covid-19-pandemic/569950232/">https://www.startribune.com/minnesota...
