Grand Rapids’ ABC News affiliate reports:
President Donald Trump backed protesters in Michigan in a Friday morning tweet, saying Gov. Gretchen Whitmer should “give a little, and put out the fire.” Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Capitol in Lansing on Thursday, requesting to end Michigan’s state of emergency.
However, as the afternoon went on, some protesters moved into the building during the legislative session. People also chanted “let us in,” as they banged on the chamber doors. Some protesters even had rifles on their shoulders and demanded to be allowed on the House floor during the legislative session.
The Governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire. These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely! See them, talk to them, make a deal.

After the armed mob got into the Michigan statehouse they made their way to the chamber doors.
Where they shouted: “LET US IN!!”
This is not a protest, or peaceful.
