A woman holding a 'Land of the Free' sign told a man identifying as a health-care worker to 'Go to China if you want communism! Go to China!'
Video footage and photographs of two people dressed like health-care workers in standing in front of lockdown protesters in Denver were drawing comparisons with the iconic 1989 “Tank Man” photo in Tiananmen Square.
It followed a similar demonstration in Michigan last week, which President Donald Trump supported by tweeting “LIBERATE VIRGINIA” and “LIBERATE MICHIGAN.” iframe.twitter-tweet { width: 100% !important; } iframe.twitter-tweet { width: 100% !important; } Some people said the images evoked memories of protests in the middle 1989, where students occupied Beijing’s Tiananmen Square and were routed by the Chinese military, with one image of a still-unidentified man standing in front of column of tanks, a day after a particularly bloody clash between soldiers and students in early June, serving as a key image in history.
A number of people have criticized the protesters, saying that their comments represent a verbal attack on health-care workers who have been widely praised for putting their lives on the line to save others during the worst pandemic in more than a century.
