The Michigan Advance reports:
The University of Michigan’s 2020 graduates on Saturday finally received the Big House ceremony they were denied two years ago, with Dr. Anthony Fauci fittingly giving the “comeback” commencement speech for the students whose senior year at the university was upended by COVID-19.
Meanwhile, a caravan of cars and trucks circled Michigan Stadium, emblazoned with messages like, “F-CK FAUCI!”, “Fauci killed my mom,” “arrest Fauci now!” and “Fauci = Dr. Death” while more protesters gathered in front of a stadium gate.
The gathering was organized, in part, by Lena Epstein, a Republican candidate for the University of Michigan Board of Regents. Epstein unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2018 and regularly espouses conspiracy theories.
Read the full article.
The organizer — per @LainaStebbinsMI — was Michigan Republican Lena Epstein.
Name may ring a bell. She ran for Congress here a few years ago, got some national attention.

I’m following Dr. Anthony Fauci’s appearance this afternoon at the University of Michigan @UMich commencement ceremony, where he is speaking. Fauci has something to say to the nation despite demonstration (photo) outside the Michigan stadium. Covid is REAL. Stop the nonsense. pic.twitter.com/KIEFMa0woj

I’m in Ann Arbor today helping out with coverage of the UM comeback grad ceremony. Former state lawmaker Patrick Colbeck is here too, standing with a group outside the stadium and yelling “Trump won” at grads and families walking in.
