Trump’s Top COVID Adviser Denies Trying To Incite Violence Against MI Guv. With ‘Rise Up’ Tweet

Dr. Scott Atlas, who has become President Donald Trump’s favorite adviser on COVID-19 due to the doctor’s push to reopen the country, insisted on Sunday night that he wasn’t trying to encourage violence against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) when he urged people to “rise up” in response to her new pandemic-related restrictions.

I’m a MIchigander.

I deeply resent anyone who endangers my life.

I look forward to the day the swinish Atlas is broomed.

That’s all.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks You and the other ‘inciters’ know EXACTLY how stupid your ‘supporters’ are and use the words to attack and provoke. Get out. Stop hurting our country. Lying scum.

Michigan should issue a warrant for his arrest regardless. Whether or not the charges stick the optics will be worth it.

Now now. Scott was making bread and got confused. It could happen to anyone who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Right. And if any progressives (BLM?) suggest we “rise up”, we’re anarchists and rioters. Given she’s already been targeted Atlas comments seem actionable. FBI?

I am not going to be happy until Scott Atlas is booked on Negligent Homicide Charges for all of the people who his evil actions caused to die of Covid-19. He is an evil man, and seems to view deaths as being necessary to goose the economy.

After all this she still holds back from being disrespectful towards Atlas. I’m impressed by her class but disappointed by it as well. We’ve got to stop granting these people the respect of their office. Not until one of them is worthy of that respect. Atlas isn’t. Talk reckless about him.

Scott Atlas is the greatest mass murderer in American history. He is nothing short of a Fox created monster.

Think about what Atlas is pushing. He wants all of America to get Covid so we can develop herd immunity, but we are months away from an effective vaccine that will give us herd immunity without killing millions. He knows it but is still pushing for millions to die. What a vile evil man. The best thing to do right now is wear our masks, socially distance and wait for the vaccine.

I think that title has to go to Atlas’ boss Agent Orange. But yeah, he did implement the disasters.

Does that mean if I don’t accept you, Dr. Atlas, you will resign?

So the doctor who knows nothing about epidemiology but is Trump’s “authority” on Covid has now also become an expert on how to deal with governmental orders with which you disagree. Any day now, he’ll be flying out with Jared to bring lasting peace to the Middle East.

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

He WAS trying to incite violence, no doubt about it. Another numbskull R-Scum not thinking the media would pick up his insane statement and run with it.

Dummy!
