WASHINGTON - Ms Gretchen Whitmer condemned behaviour at President Donald Trump's Saturday rally in Michigan, saying chants of"lock her up" from the audience, and Mr Trump's response, were"exactly the rhetoric" that's endangered her and her family.

Federal authorities this month charged over a dozen men in connection with a plot to violently overthrow the government of Michigan by storming the Capitol, kidnapping Ms Whitmer, and trying her for treason. WHITMER RESPONSE While the rally continued, Ms Whitmer tweeted:"This is exactly the rhetoric that has put me, my family, and other government officials' lives in danger while we try to save the lives of our fellow Americans. It needs to stop."

"Every single time the President does this at a rally, the violent rhetoric towards her immediately escalates on social media," Ms Saylor said on Twitter.
