Jo Rae Perkins: COVID: Against lockdown: "That is a communist country"

Perkins is particularly insistent that both the state and federal governments have been overreaching during the current pandemic. She's participated in protests against Gov. Kate Brown's shutdown orders aimed at limiting the spread of the coronavirus. The government should "get out of the way and let people live their lives," said Perkins. Perkins said forcing people to stay locked down at home is "not America. That is a communist country. And I don't live in a communist country."
