The Hill: Trump ally compares coronavirus protesters to Rosa Parks
Economist Stephen Moore, who is on President Trump’s council tasked with reopening the country, said he is helping plan a protest of Wisconsin’s state-at-home order and compared those protesting such directives to Rosa Parks.
Donald Trump was asked to respond to this comparison during today’s White House briefing and instead of condemning the remarks, he said “I didn’t see what Stephen said. I can tell you he’s a very good economist. He’s been calling shots right… There is a lot of injustice.”
#RosaParks couldn’t eat where she wanted, sit where she wanted, get jobs she was qualified for or vote. The right-wing protesters incited by #Trump demand the right to endanger everyone so they lawn fertilizer and get their roots dyed. #Coronavirus https://t.co/CxjA50a9Fx
