JEANINE PIRRO (FOX NEWS HOST): The point that you make, Sean, is correct, and they are using COVID as a pretext to bring in the leftist agenda. And the American people are not stupid, they are now locked down in their homes, they're starting to feel frustrated. You talked about it with Gretchen Whitmer and what's going on in Michigan. We are free-spirited, free-thinking, we were told everything would be OK, just stay locked down, stay in shelter, and the left is trying to keep us down.
But the problem is there are 16.8 million people out of work. Businesses, small ones, are going bankrupt. Americans want to get back to work and the left is trying to stop that from happening. And they are not stupid and they are not going to let it happen. You can't tell people that you can't go to church, they can't go to synagogue. We are adults now. You over blew what was going to happen in terms of the number of people who are going to die and now you're still telling us we have to stay home?
