Protesters rally for North Carolina to re-open
The protesters - some with Trump hats, waving American flags and holding signs like 'we the people are free' - on Tuesday (April 21) demanded Gov. Cooper end stay-at-home orders.
Over the past week, a smattering of scattered protests have called for those orders to be eased to dull the disease's heavy economic toll.
U.S. Attorney General William Barr waded further into a debate over governors' stay-at-home orders, saying he would not rule out legal action against states if he thought their actions infringed civil liberties.
Governors across the nation have closed businesses and schools and banned social gatherings in the face of a pandemic that has killed more than 43,000 Americans.
