Ohio Senate candidate attacks DeWine's 'tyranny' in coronavirus response

This moron and all the other brain dead morons protesting outside DeWine’s daily pressers ... I have no words ....

******

An Ohio Senate candidate took part in a protest Monday of Gov. Mike DeWine’s handling of the coronavirus shutdown, accusing the fellow Republican of fear-mongering and calling him a tyrant.

About 100 protesters gathered outside the Statehouse during DeWine’s appearance at his daily news conference inside. At least one protester wore a Donald Trump hat, and many carried signs expressing opposition to the governor’s stay-at-home order or waved American flags.

In the crowd was Melissa Ackison, a Republican from Marysville running for the open District 26 seat. She said she agrees with Trump’s assertion that the president has authority over state governors in deciding to lift restrictions on the economy.

“In a time where full-on unconstitutional tyranny is on display, the president is doing exactly what the patriots elected him to do, and I knew it was only a matter of time before he would flex his muscle and authority to save Ohio from unprecedented overreach,” Ackison said.

Ackison, who faces state Rep. Bill Reineke of Tiffin in the GOP primary, said she participated in the protest to send the message that “enough is enough” and that it’s time to “get Ohio back to work.”

“The original model, along with the president’s condemnation of the World Health Organization’s handling this pandemic inappropriately, is all that the public needs to know,” she said. “We have children to feed, businesses to run, employees to pay, and Ohio must end this shutdown now. Those with high-risk categories and compromised immune systems can shelter safely at home while the rest of us can exercise our constitutional liberties to work and take care of our businesses and children.

“Patriots who love and respect our liberties and the Constitution are sick and tired of the fear-mongering while the governor and (state Health Director) Dr. (Amy) Acton continue to hide the numbers from the public.”

Go to this page https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/national/coronavirus-us-cases-deaths/?itid=hp_hp-banner-low_web-gfx-death-tracker%3Ahomepage%2Fstory-ans

Now go to the Deaths reported per 100,000 residents chart and look at the different states and their curves over time. (there is a pulldown menu) Look at the steep curves. Now pull up Ohio. THAT is a flattened curve--I mean, FLATTENED!!!
They nailed it. Ackison can sit on that nail and spin.

If the other Republicans kill the people we love out of willful ignorance and incessant greed, they’d better hide behind some damn good fortifications because people won’t stand for their murdering bullshit much longer.
