Franklin Graham Slammed for ‘Inciting Violence’ After Evaluating Republicans Who Voted to Impeach to ‘Judas’

President Donald Trump’s Best Advisor on Coronavirus, Dr. Scott AtlasAccused of inciting riot and violence by telling Michigan to “rise” after the Democrats Governor Gretchen Whitmer issued new orders to combat the coronavirus pandemic.

“The only way to stop this is if people stand up. You get what you accept, ”tweeted Atlas, a radiologist – not an epidemiologist – on Sunday evening. He added the hashtags “#FreedomMatters” and “#StepUp” to his tweet.

Last month, 14 people were charged in an alleged terrorist attack to kidnap Governor Whitmer. Some also reportedly had plans to “overthrow” the government and some had allegedly “made plans to kidnap Whitmer and commit violence in hopes of sparking a” civil war, “” MLive.com reports, citing the attorney general Dana nettle.

In May, another man was charged with “credible death threats” against Governor Whitmer.

Dr. Atlas is currently a Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, led by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

Michigan’s Governor Whitmer, Sunday night, quickly pushed back against Atlas’ transparent attempts at what some call an attempt to incite violence (something the first daughter Ivanka Trump was also accused of attempting on Sunday).

Hours after Atlas’ tweet, he returned to Twitter to insist that he was not trying to incite violence, but merely talking about the electoral process and the right to peaceful protest.

Hi there. I have NEVER talked about violence. People vote, people protest peacefully. I would NEVER advocate or incite violence. NEVER!! https://t.co/LljvwMvjDV

On Monday morning, US Representative Debbie Dingell (D-MI) beat Atlas for “implicit calls to violence”.

The tweet from Dr. Scott Atlas over the weekend was irresponsible, dangerous and extremely offensive. With our nation reaching more than 10 million cases and more than 245,000 deaths from COVID, Dr. Atlas focus on containing the virus and saving lives without making implicit calls for violence.

Here is what some others say about Dr. Atlas:

It is difficult to denounce this strongly enough.

Actual health professionals do not incite violence in response to policies or guidelines they do not agree to. The purpose of public health is to help people, not put them at risk. https://t.co/4etj2MBDjo

Given the context of the pro-Trump murder conspiracy against Whitmer, there is really no way to think of this as anything other than incitement to violence and murder. Atlas hurts because his time in the White House ends in shame and he does so. https://t.co/KOyMp1nRdQ

This is riot. @FBI https://t.co/PlGYKgaO2h

I don’t believe him either. Imo #ScottAtlas urges people 2 to rise up against #gretchenwhitmer (treated only with death threats, conspiracy kidnapped)
Now its history is changing2 maskless protests against #WearAMask and against @CDCgov # COVID19 guidelines.
In any case, it promotes violence / DEATH.

You asked the people of Michigan to vote … in the next election in two years?

Sure, it definitely works.

Trump’s medical advisor is urging people to “stand up” against the new COVID order in Michigan, where the FBI has already foiled an alleged conspiracy to kidnap and murder the governor for their COVID actions. https://t.co/ckkAYNFnj7

This @Stanford Professor and Sr. Fellow at @ HooverInst seems to be fueling the # revolution in Michigan. 🤔 # Sedition @fbi @MichStatePolice https://t.co/FOIoWyXhqG

Hello Scott. I know you are desperately trying to get your way out of here, but we all know what you meant. You saw the thousand losers march yesterday and thought you were smart. You are a liar, a charlatan and a cheater. Tick ​​tock. Their relevance ends with your career.

I think you probably did. Please google “perlocution effect” and then think about how dangerous your words were.

Also, shouldn’t you be fighting the pandemic, not those who are fighting it?

Hey man, this is far from dangerous

. @ SWAtlasHoover The governor has been threatened with kidnapping and execution
Telling people to stand up against the governor can lead to violence against them.

A doctor who calls for violence. The administration should currently be replaced.
Between threats of violence, national security and Trump’s abandonment of the job, this can only serve to undermine our nation

Coup.

I know a lot of people get it differently.

I stand by my position.

You know who Dr. Atlas is.

This is a very clear case of turmoil. https://t.co/38jxDtenE6

The White House COVID hack is calling on people to “rise up” against a governor who has already been the target of a domestic terrorist attack. https://t.co/McKQsWMhoc

This man is a threat to public health and our national security. And @ Stanford … why is he staying at your faculty? https://t.co/1MhKxCvbye

There is turmoil here, @Twitter. The definition. @FBI needs to investigate. You have to help. And you must REMOVE THIS ACCOUNT before becoming an accomplice. https://t.co/epl5sI4Oex
