People in Wisconsin protested as they called for Gov. Tony Evers’ (D) stay-at-home order to be lifted.
Thousands of protesters arrived at the Wisconsin State Capitol in the city of Madison on Friday to demand the governor lift the order and reopen businesses so they can get back to work.
They were reportedly cheering “USA.” The protesters also reportedly held up signs that read, “All Workers, Are Essential” and “Death…. is preferable to communism.”
The footage also shows many of the protesters unmasked while failing to practice social distancing.

Protesters have also weighed in with their perspective of the demonstrations — where roughly 1,500 people attended. Despite the lack of social distancing, protesters believe they will capture the governor’s attention.
One protester also appeared to minimize the severity of the virus, comparing it to the flu and starvation.
