Trump Virus Czar Scott Atlas urged people to 'rise up' against new restrictions then said....

...he wasn't trying to encourage violence. Uh, huh. Hmmm...OK, jackass.

On Sunday, White House COVID-19 advisor Scott Atlas reacted to Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's new COVID-19 measures by tweeting: "The only way this stops is if people rise up."
Atlas was quickly condemned for the remarks on Twitter, especially in light of the fact that the FBI recently foiled a far-right group's plot to kidnap Whitmer and overthrow the state government.
Three hours after his initial tweet, Atlas clarified his comments, saying that he was not urging violence.

Atlas is encouraging people to riot against the state government. This is outrageous, and he should definitely lose his license
