AG Nessel, Wayne County Prosecutor Issue Statement
Regarding Recent Protest
LANSING - Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and Wayne County Prosecutor Kym L. Worthy issued the following joint statement regarding the protest in front of Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's home Saturday night:
"Last night, several individuals converged on the private residence of Secretary of State Benson, disturbing a peaceful neighborhood by taunting and intimidating her family and neighbors. They shouted baseless conspiracy theories about the election, and in videos uploaded to social media, at least one individual could be heard shouting 'you're murderers' within earshot of her child's bedroom. This mob-like behavior is an affront to basic morality and decency. In a civil society, there are many ways to peaceably assemble and demonstrate. Anyone can air legitimate grievances to Secretary Benson's office through civil and democratic means, but terrorizing children and families at their own homes is not activism. This disturbing behavior masquerading as protest should be called out for what it is and roundly condemned by citizens and public officials alike."
