On Monday's "MSNBC Live," Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) stated that her state is reopening "incrementally" with the hope "that people know that we still have to live with the coronavirus, that we need to wear our masks. We cannot just drop our guard." She also defended her attendance at a recent protest by stating that she wore a mask and didn't hug, high-five, or shake hands with anyone, and "our right to demonstrate, this First Amendment right is something that, in this moment, I thought it was important to show up, to show solidarity with so many who are protesting police brutality in our country."
