Michigan restaurateur defies state order, stays open: 'You can only be backed into the corner so far'
The Michigan restaurateur who went viral this week for sounding off on the government's handling of the coronavirus pandemic has no intention of backing down, telling "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Thursday that "the suffering of the little people's got to be told." Dave Morris, owner of D&R's Daily Grind Cafe in Portage, became an unlikely social media star after he interrupted a TV news reporter's live broadcast to express his frustration with state lockdown orders. His comments followed an emergency order from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services that halted all indoor social gatherings for three weeks in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the state.
