Hollywood Actor Patton Oswalt Mocks Protesters Seeking To Reopen Economy: ‘Open Fuddruckers!’

LIBERATE MINNESOTA!

On Thursday, the president rolled out a series of guidelines intended to help states reopen their economies after weeks of social distancing and other precautions.

He has also urged Congress to pass financial relief for businesses during the pandemic.

He specifically blamed congressional Democrats for job losses, arguing that they failed to pass needed economic relief in response to the crisis.

“Today people started losing their jobs because of Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats, who should immediately come back to Washington and approve legislation to help families in America. End your ENDLESS VACATION!” Trump tweeted. On Friday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., argued that the relief package needed to be altered and should include protections for state and local government employees.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee fired back at the president with an incendiary statement, accusing Trump of “fomenting domestic rebellion and spreading lies.”

“The president’s statements this morning encourage illegal and dangerous acts. He is putting millions of people in danger of contracting COVID-19,” Inslee said. “His unhinged rantings and calls for people to ‘liberate’ states could also lead to violence. We’ve seen it before.”
