Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in the streets of North Carolina and Missouri on April 21 to voice their discontent over lockdown measures put in place to curb the transmission of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.

Protesters in Missouri gathered at the State Capitol in Jefferson City on Tuesday, holding American flags and signs with slogans including “Tyranny Is Not a Cure!” And “All Jobs Are Essential,” while hundreds gathered in Raleigh, North Carolina, chanting “Freedom Now.”
