No one wants more violence but you had to know something was going to happen with her oppressive lockdowns that have only resulted in more suicides, crime hikes and lost livelihoods. Her moves were all ego based.

I have no sympathy for these jerks. Do the crime, do the time !!!

denveroutie

ShawnMc61082935 She thinks to high of herself. Do you really believe that?

williamcson And trump knew but had nothing kindto say about her and her family being safe

Ha!! It turns out that they are anti-Trump anarchists. But why the surprise. Too much of the recent violence is coming from the religious left.

We surrender is the right wing mantra

... where AMERICA is going?!!!!!

Not just kidnap her, they wanted to put her on trial by kangaroo court, rape and torture her, and execute her! CamoISIS

I'm grateful for her...she lived to give testimony of her surviving this weapon of travesty. Domestic terrorism...edged on by 45. What a shameful pity!

Six terrorist, there fixed it for you

Glad she is safe

You can be born again, but if you don't keep the fire of salvation burning, you face the danger of the devil watering it down. FridayAllnightVigil

enja1949 Impeached T hides everything and lies

enja1949 T started this letting white nationalist a okay to attack who ever he attacks a code signal .

I do not wish any ill will towards this woman I guess the people of Michigan are just getting tired of being treated like they’re under the regime know Fidel Castro or Hugo Chavez

Should gave let them get her. Shes a traitor to her people.

that's why I laughed at these militia idiots. who are they kidding? They're just terrorists thinking they can take over a country, must less a state. Do they know what will happen if they succeeded? Every fckin agency will be on their ass. Where they wanna run to? Cuba? :p

My home windows are mostly unbroken, my family is mostly unscathed, my kids are mostly not traumatized, my wife is mostly calm”. GovWhitmer what should be my responsible, proportional and mostly peaceful response to hooligans roaming my streets at night? BretBaier benshapiro

Unspeakable. Dislike intensely overreach & unconstitutional tactics by Whitmer; courts just slapped down one of her moves so while she hates it, laws can work. These terrible men used her as an excuse to express their own hate. I’m grateful they were exposed by GOOD militia.

We need to take this very serious, The FBI need to go deeper, this was a serious plot, Do you have any idea what they would done to Governor gretchenwhitmer? They would torture, rape and kill her. These are DOMESTIC TERRORISTS, And that's what terrorists do. THIS IS SERIOUS.

Six people or six domestic terrorists?

She must thank POTUS, not condemn for a b💩 political narrative.

You know what the funny thing is about your racist narrative, one of the kidnappers is sitting in front of the Antifa flag, that screams left wing and the kidnapper is saying he's against Trump so it's the Democrats hateful rhetoric that is fueling Antifa and BlackLivesMatter

Hmm looking into these men looks like their not right wingers but anarchist! Could be part of antifa?

DeoTasDevil Anyone heard from the Blue Lives Matter / Back the Blue peeps yet?

send the DRONES to vanillaISIS the original “BEATLES” GITMO or BUST whitesupremacyisterrorism

Trump supporters for sure.

We have to make sure to give Dump his eviction paper on Nov 3. We don’t want him around to pardon these ‘fine people.’ DomesticTerrorists DomesticTerrorism

He forgot in that dim way to remove his banners

She's evil. In the same category as Pelosi, Schumer, Sciff, & Swalwell, Cuomo, DeBlasio, Newsome, Lightfoot.

Sedition no. Voting yes. It’s simple. Choose. Right wing militias are domestic terrorists with guns. Thank God no one was hurt. And thanks to the FBI and the informant. You saved lives. You did good.

A shame. Better luck next time.

Pathetic liars!!

WhitmerWarrior Strong as STEEL Be Safe Be Strong 💪

What exactly is their problems with her that they wanna kidnappe her?

You mean six right wing white supremacist terrorists. Right?

TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpsaTool

Vacation homes should not exist if there are homeless people in country

Great job FBI Drumb is fuelling those right wing terrorists to create Chaos. It seems as if this is his remaining strategy: fraud!

Give these assholes a hard 25 years then make them live out the rest of their miserable lives without their beloved guns as felons

realDonaldTrump denounce white supremacy now!

Call. Them. Terrorists. JFC

YT Ppl🤦🏽‍♂️

Hey it’s called terrorism

Biden administration will come for the socialists communists and anarchists ! This was fbi conducting a test training ! Consent is being manufactured!

Domestic terrorists. 👎🏽 Keep them locked up. DumpTrump Vote!

This is exactly what Trump wanted to happen to Whitmer. We all know it. He has been deliberately inciting violence on Whitmer for months. He wants violence in our streets too, when he loses. I hope our country’s citizens don’t fall for his sedition

She is abusing power She is breaching the constitution, then recently openly called for the police in the state to prosecute people over NON CRIMES she cannot enforce for '30 more days' She is fucking delusional, her sympathizers are crackheads The militiamen are the heros.

This story, everything is great. lol

The fact that trump supporters and trump himself is not outraged at this is beyond me. This is outrageous! Trump has made our country a mockery.

WhiteSupremacists ProudBoys Magats Republicans Losers PrisonForLife LockThemUp

Damn....what coulda been

something weird about this story. first impression is that the governor is in on it.

In the coming days we will find out more about these individuals specifically of their social media habits and one of the videos of the charged individuals has an anarchist flag in the background in a posted video from him, so far right? Anarchists are far left.

RadicalRight

What militia where they a part of ?

Crazy AntiFa people are doing some bad things.

Can you imagine what would be coming out of the White House if it were a red state governer?

Trumps America...deranged morons fueled by his hatred incapable of rational thought, todays right wing...

This is why 'no military weapons.'

She broke the law. Violated the Constitution. They followed the Constitutions instructions correctly. Release them.

Trump fueled this fire- he is complicit.

BretBaier And why would they want this icky awful person anyway?

BretBaier These guys must have IQ’s less than room temperature.

She has the Smollett Stank about her on this one. Her AG colluding with the FBI to keep her in office. The whole thing sounds phony somehow.

So they’re terrorists ..say it

The Democrats bring this upon themselves with their radical views trying to change America from the freedoms we currently have and wanting a socialist government it’s going to get worse I suspect

Dear God help this country. Armed vigilantes are out of control THANKS TO TRUMP.

'Six people were charged in a plot to try to kidnap Michigan Democratic Gov. [gretchenwhitmer] at her vacation home, according to a criminal complaint unsealed in federal court' – Excellent piece of work FBI!!! BCC: FoxNews BCC: USATODAY BCC: BBC BCC: CNN

Shame it didn't happen. But it was probably an FBI sting that egged on and paid some nut job

Trump has not condemned this terrorist act because this is his base and he doesn’t want to lose the votes

Whu is it they are just being labeled men? Why not say WHITE men are the ones who plotted this! If they were black that would be in the headline. Do better!

*domestic terrorists

JasonMillerinDC condoned the attack and said it was sponsored by the WhiteHouse. Stand down and stand by!!! They did.

And Trump saids NOTHING.

shaunking

I gotta tell you. This is the perfect example of white privilege. They actually thought they would get away with this?

Six terrorists...

And why don’t you reveal whether these six men are white? You sure as hell would if they weren’t ...

Trump’s America needs a President 😷

This is very scary, especially considering how close this attempt occurred before the election. This is just one of the many examples of voter suppression due to the resurgence of right-wing extremist groups that are meant to intimidate women and POC voters. beyondtheballot2020

These criminals and “very fine people” from Trumps ilk must go. Trump must be held accountable for stoking violence.

Is this the “law and order” our dear president refers to? michigangovernor WhiteSupremacists

'According to the affidavit, Musico and Morrison are founding members of the Wolverine Watchmen, which authorities described as “an anti-government, anti-law enforcement militia group.”' This is not a militia group. These are right wing TERRORISTS. Why would anyone not say so?

How about Trump’s DOJ and FBI helping out in apprehending these domestic terrorists. Three cheers for Trump Administration working in concert with state of Michigan law enforcement! Let’s hear it for the good folks in Blue!!

Somebody overheard some militia guys talking shit at a waffle house and it’s a terrorist plot

STOP BLAMING TRUMP! BLAME THE A-HOLES! ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!

These guys hate government, seems like they are miserable in general.

6 people? Kid mappers? How many really was this a organization like Mission impossibly just they got caught 😂😂😂

These idiots messed up BIG TIME! When there convicted they will be convicted felons. 30 years from now when they are finally released from prison, they can't own gun's.

Who would want her? Who would keep her?

Empowerment brought this on.

One of these fine folks opened the GOP convention.

Just going to leave this here

Terrorists

Call them what they are - domestic terrorists. If they were all Muslims, your headline would be screaming TERRORISTS!!!

Story is BS.

White supremacist terrorist

Like or hate her, violence is not the answer.

How is it that realDonaldTrump orders violence in Michigan and DOJ is not taking action TrumpLiedPeopleDied TrumpPence2020 TrumpVirusDeathToll211K

Sounds like they were all FBI informants

BretBaier Convenient timing.

ektaka Why is this being so sanitized..six crazy MF's tried to kidnap and kill the Gov of Michigan because the orange azz hole said do it. The President of the United States is the leader of the ALT RIGHT. See I fixed it for you!

How sick is this country getting with this JERK in office!!!

*6 terrorists*

I'm grateful for the FBI's work on this. They saved us from a huge disaster.

Master race

If these 6 were Islamic they would be flown to Guantanamo for a kangaroo court trial and imprisonment.

I thought there a law against inciting a crime like kidnapping? There are people serving jail sentences for inciting less with the same online calls to action of criminal actions!

Something smells with this story.

How convenient and timely.

A very good friend of mine works for Governor Whitmer. Although I do not line up with the Governor politically, I am glad these arrests were made. One of the plots was to blow up the Governor’s office. My friend works in that office.

6 white men.

It was a left-wing anarchist group of people!

Horrible Bosses 3?

Wait a minute she traveled to her vacation home? Thought state was on lock down?

So blame this on trump too. Do any Dems/Libs/socialists ever think it might be in this case governor of Michigan fault? Do you EVER have sense of YOUR accountability? U think maybe people don’t like what you’re doing? I’m sure the sun will come up tomorrow and trumps fault too.

it’s called TERRORISM.

This is Brandon Caserta, one of the ringleaders of the group of men arrested for a plot where the group planned to kidnap Gov Gretchen Whitmer, hated President Trump too! 'Trump is not your friend dude' He says Trump is 'a tyrant' & calls Trump an enemy

Wtf 😨

Just heard the news and it was announced that it was 13 men not 6.

Is this a joke? Reminds me of the movie Ruthless People where the kidnappers had to keep reducing their ransom for the horrible woman they kidnapped.

BREAKING: Six DOMESTIC TERRORISTS were charged in a plot to try to kidnap Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer at her vacation home, according to a criminal complaint unsealed in federal court. fixedit

And yet, the 🍊 toddler-in-chief, has STILL not denounced this home grown terrorism...WTF🤬🤬🤬. Remember HIS words “Stand back, Stand by”!!! This wonderful woman, exceptional governor.....ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! 25th Amendment. This asshole MUST GO!!!!

Trump invited the Militias/Terrorists to do what they wish. Brace yourselves for the GOP retort... TrumpTerror militias Terrorists GOPSuperSpreaders

But people want to act like Antifa and BLM are the domestic terrorists. 🙄 The fbi knows what’s up. Thank God. 🙏🏼

Not “militia”, domestic terrorists, otherwise known as criminals MSMbadreporting

Trump supporters are mostly peaceful.

Amazingly the idiot president has nothing to say about this today... But he can rant all day long like a madman on Fox...

onlytruthhere Hell yeah. E

6 fucking anarchist.

Was this antifa ? John_Blizzard

Militias are nobody's that think they are somebody.

Just an idea hahah

erictwigs Trump world !

is there a gofundme to support them?

Hmm if I recall correctly...

🤔🤔🤔🤔🙁🙁🙁🙁Clowns🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Omg this Trumps white supremacy groups, Thank God they stopped this

Can we send them to Gitmo immediately

I bet she wishes she haven't supported anti-police groups, which this group is. They are NOT 'Law and Order' Trump supporters. The Left eats their own.

security is great, but true privacy is undisputedly superior

thankYouTrump

TERRORISTS Say the word people. Not Antifa, not militia. TERRORISTS RightWingNutJobs TerroristsNotMilitia DonaldsDumbells BidenHarris2020 BidenHarris2020ToSaveAmerica

These ideological extremists fuelled by Trump are a greater threat to national security than ISIS. It’s time to take back America. Enough is enough. That’s why I’m voting BidenHarris2020

Terrorists. Domestic Terrorists. Call them what they are!

If these guys where arabs I'm sure they wouldn't call them '6 people'. Im damn sure they'd call them a terrorist group.

drgoddess Ppl trippin!

And Bill Barr didn't know..

Trump’s America.

More guns we need more guns! Not!

I smell bs

Bet she is glad that situation wasn’t left for social workers to solve.

Hoax

Lock’m up y’all

What would Trump and the GOP say if the FBI uncovered that Leftists were caught conspiring to kidnap Florida's governor?

roybelly Six TERRORISTS were charged.

Call them what they are, domestic terrorists. DomesticTerrorists DomesticTerrorism

The fact that she is blaming Trump for this, tells me it's a hoax.

VanillaISIS MAKE IT TREND!!!

SamHuangFan Wtf?!

More Domestic terrorists emboldened by Trump... vote his ass out or this country will be 3rd world.. Trump uses these people like Hitler used his brown shirts

If this is the Master race, then I’d rethink this whole thing

So, ANTIFA are the terrorist? RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHHHHHHHT!

Donald Trump, you gave the military leaders the virus. I think you might need them for a coup. Activate your proud boys, LETS DANCE.

Michigan I think there might be something in the water.

It was a peaceful protest

Too bad they weren't running through the streets shooting people and burning buildings... Then Hollywood would bail them out

GilpinPeri Are these assholes going to be condemned by the right wing media and legally accused and tried as the domestic terrorists that they are?

How did they even know where her vacation home was?

Trump inspired these people to kidnap our Governor when he called for his supporters to 'liberate Michigan', when he called the armed white terrorists who stormed our capital Nice People, when he accused our governor and Secretary of State of being rogue. Trump is responsible.

I would think there are more then six

Crickets from the Trump Adminstration and the Republicans.. This is on you!!

These are our own homegrown terroristic groups! Lock the up in Colorado so they never see the light of day. We can’t have these people running around our streets

'Messing w Gretchen!?' Get em, Major!

So, no tear gas, no guns, no riot gear, no violently cornering people, almost like those tactics are unnecessary and only used against minorities.

Remember when Trump ordered “LIBERATE MICHIGAN!” back in April?!

Stand back. Stand by. Go to prison.

Why is she at her vacation home when everyone is supposed to stay home!?

But Democrats said ANTIFA isn’t real?!?!

I’m surprised the word terrorism isn’t used.

Have any republican congressmen come out against this group of people yet? How about the giant Cheeto? Oh wait, he gave them the call to stand back and stand by.

These are Trump operatives for sure .kidnapping a lady that was only doing her job😳. You can’t make this stuff up

Governor Smolett

I want details about the six people: gender, race, age I seriously doubt they're Muslim or Mexican or Greek

These Thugs and Criminals were also preparing to fight the police. What happened to the pro police stance? Trying to overthrow the government wow. The Right Wing Repugs have embolden them. L

Did she hire some actors? Bet they didn’t realize they would actually take the fall!

Jeezus...smh

I know this is a total serious matter, but why did I read her name as Gretchen Wiener. I feel horrible. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

When you realize a similar plot resulted in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln... ... And that 'militia' is now known as the KKK... ... and the KKK is now _________.

Trump lies saying 'ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter' groups are a threat to America, meanwhile White militias are trying to start a civil and race war. Thank goodness the FBI stopped these terrorists violent plot to harm Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer!

The one time the FBI does their job. Normally the FBI is out trying to overthrow the federal government

Trump was probably involved

Antifa coming to ear their own

Witchcraft

false flag. I mean it's not like the FBI would frame anyone because they're so apolitical. Ask Randy Weaver, 78 dead people in Waco, ... this is such a crock. They'll try to hang this around Trump's neck but everyone is on to the scam. October surprise.

This is what 'Standing Back and Standing By,' looks like. These are TrumpTerrorists VOTE BidenHarris2020

What would they do with her? Ughhh

Didn’t Trump say to LIBERATE MICHIGAN a few months ago?

These ppl are sick. Lock them up!

😂 ! Do you think she orchestrated the entire thing? Was Smollet her advisor?

why are they call Militia? I do not get it. They are domestic terrorists. Call it what it is.

Fully armed with an Ebay Tazer, some black powder, and twitter access from their mom's basement. Sounds like a scary group. LOL. At least a good story to offset the Billions of dollars of damage by the Liberal left.

yachts60 Gretchen Smollett!😆GretchenSmollett

I'm not completely opposed to militia people, I understand their distrust of government- But they really should require IQ tests before admission, also maybe drug and character tests as well. If we ever need to resist an oppressive government, I dont want these guys at the helm!

These guys are terrorists

Trump needs to go. America will descend into anarchy if we would have to endure the nightmare of 4 more years of him. DumpTrump2020

This.

what the hell is this year coming to

Did Trump organize that? Sounds like his bs.

Who the hell would want her who the hell would pay to get her back? Put these clowns away in whatever fashion Michigan employs

What is wrong with people?! 🤦‍♀️ I’m no fan of her politics but this is SO wrong!! Great job to all the law enforcement!!

She will do anything to be in the spotlight!!!!

Look at everyone losing their shit when the facts are literally right here.

Those wacky Republicans

Funny....

JussieSmollet2.0

Tell me again how Democrats are the bad ones in this country?

Let this also be a reminder to the ANTIFA nuts that trying to overthrow the president will end the same

lets see how the right spins this and paint the terrorists as victims.

The democraps are already planning to steal election with another coup!!!!

Were they wearing mask ?

Biden needs to wage a war against neo nazis, proud boys, white supremacist militias, all of them. We need to pull this weed up by the roots.

Still no word from our COVIDIOT IN CHIEF!

President Trump should be arrested and charged with inciting violence towards Government officials. His tweets and rallies are dog whistles for his anxious White Supremacist militia.

MAGATerrorists

DevinDecraene big gretch was gonna get kidnapped

FAKE NEWS

um... what?

By ANTIFA!

realDonaldTrump This is Donald Trumps America. Far right republicans kidnapping Governor of Michigan. GovWhitmer You are doing an amazing job

Hey MrAndyNgo These your boys?

Literally no one believes this.

Something stinks.

aka jess smullette...

White House sent them.

She made it all political...The Michigan Supreme Court last week ruled that a 1945 law used as the foundation for many of Whitmer’s orders was unconstitutional

Truth. Planning to kidnap and assassinate & blow up a bridge to deter police traffic. They consider themselves a militia, wolverine watchmen/MI militia corps wolverines. Listed under “patriot”on SPLC Southern Poverty Law Center webpg. Truth. We had better start. WakeUpAmerica

These guys must be insane 😂. Who of sound mind would want to be with her even a minute?

Right wing terrorist

Fuckaroo, Bob. Glad she wasn't harmed. Good on ya, FBI.

People are even crazier than I thought they were.

Oh but BLM and Antifa 🤔😂

OMG! Now, are we talking about those 'wonderful' truthful, honest, Right-wing advocates... most of whom are probably Catholics or Born-again Christians! After all, isn't kidnapping 'Christ-like?' (NOT!)

If these 13 guys really wanted to start a civil war in Michigan, they should've helped her to a second term

These idiots are playing G.I JOE....THAT'S trump's base....

Here we go smh desperate moves

Six people? They must've been 6 white men.

This is the thanks you get when you try to save COVIDIOTS from themselves!?!? Wow, so relieved this plan was thwarted...

Please donate & share/retweet. Baby Joshua is battling acute lymphocytic leukemia, a type of blood cancer. Only seven-months-old, his life is dependent on chemotherapy & a stem cell transplant. Help his family in offsetting the cost of his treatment here:

This IS trumps America!

The article and most of those commenting seem to infer this is a right wing group. But I see zero factual evidence of that. Does anyone have info on the plotters’ politics? The only thing I’ve seen is a pic of one of them with an anarchist symbol on his wall.

Antifa?

Have the 'Evangelicals' started their GoFundMe page to help defend these assholes yet...?

Thank God, our dependable FBI, caught what could have been a disaster! May God be with her and her family, emotionally as well as safely

This attempted kidnapping and lord-knows-what-else by right wing terrorists is just a distraction from how Antifa is the real problem 🤡

u3Y4BDE They were just “standing by.”

Definitely want to know more regarding subject matter...

This is fucking sick...these people need to be held accountable for this garbage. Glad to see the opposition party come out vehemently against these lunatics.

The plan was foiled when FBI agents looking to avoid ACTUAL work overheard 6 drunken rednecks yelling, “we should kidnap that b-tch” at a local mudding event! Don’t worry about that plot to overthrow a sitting POTUS boys, great job!

This is just more of the corrupt FBI pushing the 'white nationalist' 'domestic terror' narrative. Meanwhile, Antifa and BLM continue to be funded while the FBI does nothing

if you don't like her, just recall her and don't reelect her. She won't be reelected, I'm sure of that. She hurts her own popularity with her very strict restrictions (beyond rational), I'm glad I don't live in Michigan

A plot to kidnap a governor, try her for treason, and try to violently take over the government. Wow. That's insane.

Whitmer is the worst.... but nice job here with the law enforcement... the group that Dems belittle every minute. Wonder if Whitmer has any sense of appreciation for the law enforcement

Who in their right mind would want her? I bet they got caught because they weren't wearing masks.

Bullshit

'But what about black lives matter?' Signed, William Pelham (123) Barr

Republicans and their supporters are going crazy and this is all Donald Trump's fault. BidenHarris2020

I smell another Jussie Smollett.

* six domestic terrorists.

No one should act this way. These men should be arrested and tried just like all of the looters and rioters. We have to beat them at the ballot box.

So MAGA CULT followers wanted to do it.

Please. The president advocates for law and order.

This smells like a Jesse Smollett situation. What were the kidnappers going to do with her after the kidnapping. Were they going to play 'Stuck in the middle with you?' Very very strange.

Has the President condemned this group yet? Law and order, right?

'But what about ANTIFA?' Signed, - Donald John Trump

politics, right?

This is not surprising at all, sadly. The NRA has been misrepresenting the 2A forever and stoking the fears of morons. They have no respect for American ideals. NRA = Not Really American.

for fck's sake.

Hey Trump’s thugs are looking to get nasty. They shouldn't underestimate the FBI as their dear leader does. Thanks to the men and women of American law enforcement for catching these domestic republican terrorists.

Thank you FBI for foiling the plot! 💜

'But what about those black identity extremists?' Signed, - Jefferson Beauregard Sessions

I DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING Coming out of this woman's end.. Let's not forget she wants to abolish the law enforcement now she thanked them? WTH? 26 days to the election Michigan I hope you did NOT eat her scam

TrumpsAmerica

WTF

This is why I question the high-level promotion of cops being shot with non-lethal injuries: 'The seven men are accused of identifying the homes of law enforcement officers and making violent threats “intended to instigate a civil war,” Attorney General Dana Nessel said.'

People out of work and a lot of business destroyed and Whitmer at the vacation home. Probably be re-elected.

Stop calling these groups 'militias' when they are domestic terrorists. Probably their skin color makes the difference for the AP, otherwise they would be called gangs.

Dammit, the little white men who love 45pos are out of control. MORE CAGES needed for corralling these knuckle draggers.

And how much you want to bet all of them are part of white power groups? Remind me again why there's a need to be 'peaceful' when these thugs are out on the streets planning this sh**?

How long before the GOP gives them a standing ovation at a fundraiser?

Too bad they didn’t succeed.

abbydphillip I guess they didn't comprehend the stand back and stand by memo.

Antifa

75 years after WWII and we still have to fight these Nazis?

Who knew Michigan is the hotbed for homegrown white terrorists. For those who missed it, follow to the end. The result of Trump's 'Liberate Michigan' days later assaulting that state's Capitol

Is this the 'mob' conservatives have been arming themselves against? 🤔

Upon further review, can we just give the MAGAs the former confederate states?! 🤷🏻‍♂️ Have a 6 month period so those who want to either live in a Theocracy or a Democratic Republic can move and then call it a day? Sometimes breaking up is the healthy option. BidenHarris2020

Imagine what a hellscspe our country would be if Trumpers actually had their way and drained the 'swamp' of law abiding, non-partisn people in our government, thank you FBI.

NewsTamarian You can read She is Amazing.

Six terrorists...

Unbelievable !! Thank good the FBI foiled there plan!!

Wtaf is happening in America right now

That says they are scared of her. She looks a bit tough so they had to do like old school NWA wrestling and do a six on one ambush. But she would have put one in a sleeper, one in a figure four leg lock, hit two with upper cuts and the last 2 would have ran off. Biden sign her up

Who the hell would want to kidnap Wicked Witch of Michigan? I wouldn' touch her even with 10 feet pole.

realDonaldTrump incited this & that is TREASON! 🗽🇺🇸 Amerikkka michigangovernor DomesticTerrorism 💥

The is covering for nazi terrorists

Sure they did. I wonder who the 6 poor boobs they just railroaded are.

What is seriously wrong with people?

Is this from Trump and his good old boys?

For months we’ve been told the anti-cop anarchists destroying our cities during riots are just peaceful protesters & now some anti-cop anarchists have tried to kidnap the Michigan Governor & CNN is trying to tell us they’re actually Trump supporters.

Netflix will be rushing this drama into production.

Thank you for not calling these domestic terrorists “a militia”

The functionality of Police and FBI much appreciative in your operations

RepublicanThugs

They should have arrested those White Terrorists when they marched in the Michigan State Capital. Trump has emboldened these Nazis. Vote straight Democrat and take out the Trash.

Boo who communist governor, the courts had to stop you, I quess she pissed off a few people?

I think it is time for Canada to put a wall on their border with the third world shithole called Michigan. Canada needs to start protecting their borders.

Good. Glad they were stopped. Violence is not how we handle political disagreements in this country. It's unacceptable now, and has been unacceptable for months.

Ah so FBI encouraged it then stopped it like they usually do?

BLM or no?

They're not patriots, they are anarchists.

Hmm 🤷‍♂️

Anarchists

Will Trump finally be held accountable for his actions and inciting violence?

What’s the name of this militia group?

Remember all of those terrorist plots Obama's FBI stopped and they turned out to be utter nonsense under direct sunlight? Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing here. I'll wager some FBI agent was posting on a militia forum and got some halfwits to bite at his plans to kidnap her.

Is this clearer?: '6 White men, who are part of a terrorist gang, were charged with conspiring to kidnap Democratic GovWhitmer,according to a US federal complaint. 7 other members of the White terrorist gang were charged under Michigan’s anti-terrorism laws,” reports.

'bUt AnTiFa ArE mOaR vIoLeNt'

They were not 'Right Wing ' .

They are suspected of attempting to identify the homes of law enforcement officers to “target them, made threats of violence intended to instigate a civil war.” Hmmmmm who were they going to blame those “attacks” on?

Who could of seen this coming after those armed white supremacist stormed the capital with machine guns ? all 6 should get life in jail. No parole , save a seat for Trump !

Aint buying this story..

These are anarchists not Trump supporters.

They are Antifa

I fixed the typo for you guys

Glad she is safe !!! Thank you law enforcement .

Antifa

This is what you get when you needlessly legislate and ruin people's livelihoods. WE THE PEOPLE.

NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME FOR THE CULT TO WAKE THE FUCK UP. THIS IS WHAT TRUMPS AMERICA. You may think this is all fun and games, you may think Trumps got your back, or that you are exempt from his cruelty. Many of you may receive assistance with housing, food or medical THINK

The ring leader , clearly a Republican

2020 can’t fucking surprise me with these twitter headlines anymore I think that was the one thing about 2020, yeah sure terrible shit happens but poor execution. It pumped out to much bullshit and disasters in the first part of the year than the rest, so we were kinda numb. B-

LaurieColacchio

these White boys be Smoking some bad weed🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣after you over throw the government what you gone do with it...pass out stimulus checks ...this is how they Make american Great..

Too bad they failed

Bullshit. Classic leftist move in the home stretch before election. Has been predicted for months that leftards would go all out toward the end. Libs are behind this all the way.

This is just the beginning. The left has created this environment. You've no idea what you have done. Soon it will be people like me. Former law enforcement, retired line dog. When you begin to pick apart the constitution, beware what you wish for. Millions will resist.

AP is lying to you

realDonaldTrump this is ALL YOUR FAULT VoteHimOut TrumpIsASuperSpreader

Fuck. This is nuts

The terrorists are following their leader Odonnie BenLie'n

69tomlet Lets see Trump sends FBI an National guard an saved you of all your inadequacies an you call him a racist shame on you Trump2020

Is it too soon to suggest that Trump may have indirectly inspired this action?

Why?

“ terrorists” is the word you’re looking for

egalitarian131 So if they had managed to kidnap her what were their plans,Kill her, Ransom, or what? This is just scary that they even thought they had to right to put someone they disagreed with in harms way. That is a terrorist mentality.

I am sure they are “very fine people”.

In a TERRORIST PLOT. Call it what it is!

NDaughters

People are dumb lol. How about we do this legally? Aka vote her out. Won’t be too long from now.

We all had Trump right wing white supremacists trying to kidnap Governor Whitmer and overthrow the Michigan government on our Bingo cards right? WORDS MATTER. TrumpIsAWhiteSupremacist RacistTrump

Just following orders

Trump’s voters got caught...thank God for FBI & other law enforcement folks who do the right thing....

Trump's fault. He was the one preaching 'Liberate Michigan!' just because Gov Gretchen was imposing some Covid-19 prevention rules to PROTECT people. I'm now concerned about the FBI agents that helped uncover the plot. Hopefully Trump won't invite them for a ride in his SUV..

So their Terrorists

Who had “terror plot to kidnap biggretch “on their 2020 Batsh!t Bingo Card

Terrorists!

At least they aren't looting and destroying businesses tho amirite 🤡🤡🤡

Republicans continue to prove they are the lowest forms of life

The leader of the group was a anti police anarchist...aka democrat.

RepMoolenaar I expect to see you condemn the act of violence that was planned against our Governor.

Why are federal authorities describing this as a militia? It’s a domestic terrorist group, plain and simple

We’re they white? Are they affiliated to the MAGA movement? Are they ‘terrorist’ or will the media cover them as mentally unstable? What with the Republican Party call them?

Over throw our current Dictatorship

Domestic Terrorists.

Don't you think it's irresponsible to not label the people as part of a white supremicist militia?

WELL..... THAT tweet didn't age well...

Militia=terror cell Militia Member= terrorist. Words matter.

How many times does the FBI have to tell us that WHITE NATIONALISTS are the fastest and biggest growing domestic terror group in this country? They have deemed them Terrorist Organizations in many cases and are warning that THE MOVEMENT is growing and getting more DANGEROUS!!!

Names?

these are serious charges & i'm loathe to alledge entrapment, but something doesn't smell quite right: there is no history of right wing figures kidnapping politicians they don't like. none. i guess there is a first time for everything but this is weird

This Whitmer Governor was to happy and smiling to have been threaten with kidnapping and Murder. MY opinion only speaking for me says Investigation by non Democrat affiliation and facts.. Dig Deep in the Weeds.. She was so happy to denounce and Blame Trump like a Cheshire Cat

I don’t see the police protestors plotting to kidnap and kill the governor. Take hostages and throw bombs to “destroy the police.” This is absolutely unacceptable and unbelievable that wearing a mask makes you want to kill her😳😳😳😳

👇 👉If ANYONE thinks TRUMP SUPPORTS or INCITES any MILITIA RADICALS they must BELIEVE that CHEERIOS are DONUT SEEDS..⁉️

Should have tried harder 😂

It's all fun and games until the FBI comes out to play 😎

Even after being saved of obviously dangerous plot, this dictator can't be humble,grateful or respectful enough to stop pinning everything on the President. She & family have had 2 sets of Covid rules, 1 for her continguents and another for her family. Thats the reason for plot.

Nothing should surprise us at this point. There's no limit to what's happening here from those slurping the Kool-Aide. This is what happens when adults never learned, as children, how to use their words. The only behavior they understand is anger, hatred, and aggression.

Potus think he putin

But nothing happens with government corruption.

Fargo Season 6 here we go

Wow has to be POTUS realDonaldTrump responsible

Nothing new..

The biggest threat to women in the suburbs is NOT Biden and the Democratic Party. The biggest threat is right-wing extremists emboldened by realDonaldTrump.

Absolute abomination. White supremacists I'm sure. Trump would say 'good people' I'm sure. You support Trump, you have ZERO moral integrity & ZERO humanity. His rhetoric of 'stand back, stand by' spurs this nonsense. His mouth is dangerous, his actions reckless. Vote his a** out.

This is yet another example why the rhetoric from our leaders matters. Trump's rhetoric has emboldened these domestic terrorists. FBI Director Christopher Wray is telling us these groups are the real domestic danger to our country

Good thing Trump's FBI was there to save her.

Anyone else think this is convenient? Can anyone say Jessie Smollett?

arjecc

To bad they didn't

This is “Trump’s America.” TrumpTerrorists TrumpCoupPlot

I thought he told them to stand back and stand down? They don't even listen to simple orders.

This is pure terrorism. Enough.

We asked the witnesses to describe the alleged kidnappers.

Larry Nassar got an extra 15 years after he was reported to the police to felony sexual assault victims until he got caught n was sentenced to 125 years in prison. It’s time for Dr. Kill to pay for all his felony crimes. He shouldn’t be able to get away with felony murder anymore

Lemme guess white men who support trump are behind this?

This is Trump’s America.

U need to back up because it sounds like they are a part of Antifa! Why have u not stopped Riots Loot Rob kill that George Soros and Mike Bloomberg will fund any hate group to turn something on Trump even u did! what makes u think its not Antifa or these men? OH U DONT KNOW! LIES

All this over being told to wear a fucking mask?

Would anyone miss her

This idiot wants to defund police. She sure called them and is thankful for them now. So now she is slamming our President who has backed the police that kept her lousy ass safe. She is shameful. Get the hook GovWhitmer

The FBI? The same FBI that were debunked in the whole trump-russian fiasco!

They need to stop Trump from encouraging violence and encouraging these groups. He has been doing this since he was elected.TrumpIsACoward VoteHimOutandLockHimUp

Whitmer is a person full of hatred... I'm wondering if this is just fake kidnapping plot so the debate from last night would be covered up and focus shifted.

goood! now make sure they’re made an example. parade them mfs with a noose over their head

Imkindofsad1978 Trump’s LIBERATE MICHIGAN results. Yamiche kaitlancollins svdate

GovWhitmer is a criminal. She is breaking Federal & State constitutional law. She should be arrested for abuse of power. The Michigan Supreme Court has struck down her latest lockdown as Unconstitutional. This dictator is lying to Michiganders & she is ruining Michiganders lives

And she’s so horribly terrified she holds a press conference talking about needing unity and then goes into a Trump rant. Karma.

How can GovWhitmer seriously talk about unity and empathy when, in the next breath, she berates President Trump and the people who support him? Such hypocrisy and so myopic. Double standard at its height.

I am so glad she's safe! There's no call for this outrageous anti-social behavior. I think we know who they follow, though. HE should also be arrested for inciting this. This is NOT a state sanctioned militia. This is a criminal cult and nothing more.

Nice conference until you went political. Lost all credibility. Glad your family is safe. We all denounce hate groups on left and right. Keep it to the topic

sic semper tyrannis

take note of the trump and confederate flags flying in your neighborhoods. at this point, it's fair to say they are terrorist sympathizers.

Prayers for Michigan and the Governor's Family.🙏

Can’t wait for Twitler to blast the FBI as the bad guys, because what else is that mental tadpole going to say?

And she took the chance to bash Trump🙄 Ridiculous.

Aww Man. How are these proud boys going to be able to use their Russian facebook this weekend?

terrorists

Why are white people afraid of calling white militants who are involved a domestic terrorist, terrorist

More right wing Trump nutters - Trump 2020 😏🤣

Don’t be scared show us their mugshots now

The right : the left are a bunch of extremists 🤣🤩🤪 Also the right:

While I don't condone kidnapping, this is what happens when you choose to heavily interfere and disrupt many people's lives and not listen or budge. I'm assuming these people were angry about her excessive restrictions.

Words matterpotus

Trump did not make America great, he made it hate. This is a quintessential example.

And there you have it folks, realDonaldTrump America. VoteHimOut2020

Oh dear. Seems that a baker's dozen of Dear Leader's Pillsbury Doughboys didn't get the memo to 'stand back and stand by'.

How did these guys ever expect to pull this off? Caitlyn Jenner won the triathlon for Christ's sake! She can run fast!

Damn here in America we don't like hypocritical tyrants.

Call them terrorists. Militia legitimizes their organization.

This only reminds me of Jussie Smollet!!

Is this America or is this Gilead?

Can you guess why they aren’t being called terrorists by the media?...

I seem to recall Trump telling his followers to “Liberate Michigan.” So much for the radical left. It’s homegrown terrorists that represent the biggest threat to America. They’re not militias, they’re terrorists.

I believe those are Nazi Terrorists, not 'people'.

The Chodes of November

These people are Republican Trump Voters! Why doesn't the Media say that? TrumpCriminals

Treason is a capital crime. Fry ‘em. John Brown at Harper’s Ferry. Thanks again FBI.

Yup, we are officially a Banana Republic

Who was it JussieSmollett?

RIGHT-WING TERRORISTS. Say it !

Trump is a co-conspirator. This has to end. He incites violence.

Looks like MAGAts are busy.

The Trump Whackjobs are at it again

What militia is that? What do they call themselves?

Too bad

We need to liberate the White House

One of the ring-leaders. Check out the flag.

HypocriteChristians barrettwithdrawnow Chrsitians AbortionIsAWomansRight Antibody cocktail for Covid-19 Trump touted on Wednesday afternoon developed with cells originally derived from fetal tissue, a practice Trump had repeatedly condemned.

This should be all we’re talking about now. This should bother everyone. These guys aren’t the only ones. There has to many others through out the country.

This is frightening. Trump continues to encourage the worst in society. Thankful to the FBI so thwarting this plot! 🙏

And y’all worried about “Antifa” ...

This is not ok 😕 we are better than this

Not saying this didn’t happen the way it did but it’s def more evidence Wray has to go. I’m sure insane plots every day are thwarted but this is just a selective press release to try to go with the over-focus on white supremacy and take heat off BLM/Antifa etc.

6 or 12?

First reaction, BS...

Liberate Michigan! These guys said oh ok.

zlowboi Ayo what y’all got going on over there 🤣

Anyone wanting to kidnap anyone for any reason is pretty messed up. No matter what their plan. Voters will do the throwing of the politician(s) back into the water, just like a catch and release fish.

Co conspirator?

Six terrorists*** fixed it

Horrible....

What's next? It gets to be more insane by the day. Thank goodness the Governor is ok.

🤯 TrumpsMilitia

This is terrifying. Lock them up and throw away the key.

If she would resign like the voice of the people want her to do, nobody would want to kidnap her or overthrow her. This whole thing says a lot about how bad people hate her. Why would you want to be in office when the people hate you?

Will be blamed on Trump in some way

JFC. These are your people, realDonaldTrump. The only person sowing election discord is you. Don't agree with someone? Just kidnap them! That's the Donald Trump way!!

Maybe they were peaceful protesters!

conservatives are truly losing it

They need to be held without bond. She may still be in danger from others in that group.

MAGAMilitia - the greatest threat to American Democracy. All terrorists who must be disarmed immediately. Trump was the one who whistled standdownandstandby These are the idiots who fell empowered to act. The real TrumpCoupPlot

Yeah right....

Good job by the doj and the reformed FBI in stopping this thanks to President Donald Trump and AG William Barr Fixing the Corrupt doj!

This is realDonaldTrump’s America and these are his followers. He is also responsible for their actions.

All this because of lock down and face mask. Do you have any clue of how many lives she saved by locking down the city? Domestic terrorism is what they were planning. VoteBidenHarrisToSaveAmerica

Oh I’m sure lol

DeepState_sat Getting too scary and real now. SMH.

Fargo?

Is this what America has come to under Donald Trump! This is because of his signals and in sighting division and hate. Must be removed. Attempted kidnaping and efforts to over throw the Gov.

Aw poor Gretchen. Meanwhile in real news the courts and the Michigan AG just gutted her power to issue covid executive orders and neutered her ability to enforce them.

Trump said, 'Liberate Michigan,' He said of these far right people, These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again...

Trump just lost 5 more votes.😃

Nice work by the FBI. This is not how we deal with differences in this country. Violence whether political or any other type is uncalled for.

This is one of those arrested. Has an Antifa flag in the background. This is NOT a far right individual, he’s FAR LEFT!

6 Domestic Terrorist.....

I don't buy it,Nobody wants to be stuck somewhere with that chick!

This is honestly just a sign of whats to come. We are going to continue having more chaos as our country moves into a managed decline.

Is this one of them?

Emolclause Domestic terrorists. Prosecute them!!!

Jesus H. The guys w guns at the Michigan Capitol should have all been arrested & charged, for being part of a un-“well-regulated militia”

Trump...But Antifa....while ignoring his violent supporter groups that he is bullhorn shouting to for a call to violence. Just sad and scary! Praying for her safety and ours!

And this is exactly what happens when those things are allowed to prance around with their assault rifles.... FFS!!!

Videos posted by one of the men clearly show he’s an anarchist. He’s got anti-police rhetoric in his speeches. This guy isn’t a “republican” by any stretch.

Trump’s America.

Terrorist ! To the gallows

Here is the YouTUbe of one of the inbreds.

Let's see how the republican turn this an blame the democrats!!!!!

Fake news

'A well regulated Militia' is regulated by democratically duly elected regulators. Kidnapping a Governor is attacking a state's top elected regulator. Bizarre minds come up with unpatriotic ideas that have no place in the USA and 'A well regulated Militia'.

God bless the patriots!

Seems like BS to me.

Just the start of this. Wait till Trump loses the election

So much winning!

There’s good people on both sides🤪 Ladies and Gentlemen The Divider in Chief.

realDonaldTrump you need to denounce these people and their plot immediately. This is your responsibility and it is on record that you called for it. BlueWave BidenHarris2020 DumpTrump2020

jpierni Armed white male supremacist groups’ plot to kidnap a female governor after president tweets “liberate Michigan” foiled - there, I fixed the headline.

TRUMPF TOLD PEOPLE TO TAKE YOUR STATE BACK. THEY DID. SAD. realDonaldTrump

Just like F.E.A.R a couple years ago too. Idk man it seems like there’s a correlation as to who is making these attacks

And now the president would usually hold a presser praising FBI & law enforcement and that these terrorist acts of violence by militia or other groups against govt & civil servants will NOT be tolerated & will bring full force against it. Instead not sure Trump will say ANYTHING

Wth!🤯

Unbelievable. They detonated an explosive device in Garbin's backyard. They were looking at bridges to find a place to attach an explosive device!

6 Biden supporters made plans to kidnap and murder people, as part of the progressive lefts goal.

FYI, the wolverines reference, as these terrorists call themselves, is from REDDAWN where wolverines were fighting Russians. Freaking idiots.

GOP watches while Trump refuses to quarantine himself. Trump's words and actions bring results: spreads more disease (after 25 due to his 'superspreader' event), & even terrorism for his part in sowing resistance by white supremacists to political enemies.

Republicans are the worst America has to offer.

We love Big Gretch here in Mich.

24 Democrate governors and the 'puss boys' go after a woman. What a joke.

The same FBI who illegally spied on Trump's campaign! Staging time right!..

Has that pResident in the white house said ANYTHING at all about this so far?

The good news- these far right Trump supporters aren’t smart enough to actually pull any of this off.

Conservatism is cancer

Trump’s base staying busy during Covid.

The same gretchen that wants to defund the police ..the same Gretchen that who had the summer of love! The same dictator that wouldn't stop the rioting and now law enforcement is saving your ass! Still want to go there gretchen?

All because of Trump

Was it antifa? Were they dressed in black?

Great example for the States of Washington and Oregon on how to deal with lawlessness. Their rioters could be charged with many of these same Felony charges (if their DA's would do their job). We dont put up with lawlessness in the Michigan.

JamarlinMartin smh

Michigan.

Of course Trump isn’t going to comment on this, and he and his cronies will keep trying to instill fear of “the radical left” and Antifa. Meanwhile the FBI is arresting ACTUAL TERRORISTS from a right wing militia.

This is the hate you spew realDonaldTrump 'very fine people' indeed. TrumpIsComplicit

They were all MAGAts

Those thugs need to get that life sentence.

Those goddamn Antifa punks... oh wait

CharlesMBlow You know what would be funny. Seeing the expression on conspiring Michigan militia faces when they find out Trump won't make Mexico pay for the wall nor will he pay for their defense. Donald Trump on hitting protesters: I will pay the legal fees ...

THUGS!

Thank goodness for the FBI.

This kind of rhetoric is what that got Rep. Gabby Gifford shot. Words have consequences.

💵 I got $5 on Putin’s puppet praising these traitors within the next 24 hours. Mentions at hate rallies... Rand Paul praising them... $5.

I guess it is a good thing that right wing militia members dont have brains

THIS!! JFC, 2020 is fuckery...

Woww, I'm speechless!! The man allowing this to happen must go on November 3rd.

Is This Not Domestic Terrorism?!

This is a joke. Who would want to even get near her?

Let me guess... all of these guys were white, middle age, NRA loving “patriots”, right? They are domestic terrorists and should be treated as such

Proud boys ALL CRIMINALS THUGS!! Lock them up!! trumpmilitia

Trump.

😂😂😂😂😂

Very glad this was discovered and stopped before it happened.

If they don't charge Trump as an accessory, this will keep happening over and over until either they're successful or January 20, whichever comes first. That asshole has 11 weeks after he's voted out to finish destroying America and pillaging our Treasury. He MUST be stopped.

So the law and order people look like fools yet again

They sound like lovely guys . Will they still be able to vote Joe and Kamala .

But antifa

No man could stop that woman theyd need an army

Is there a paper trail leading to the White House? You know Trump hates her.

kenklippenstein Right wing terrorist story will float by completely unnoticed cause america is crying about the trash cans being set on fire in pdx

Ahh, good ol' white trash Militiagan.

group doesn’t seem serious.

What in the hell is the matter with people!?!!

Oh please, Antifa was been laying siege to Portland for months now and not a peep out of the AP about it.,

I heard she was in downtown Detroit, just having left a Subway in the middle of the night, when six men yelled 'this is MAGA Country' and attempted to kidnap her.

What was their plan after kidnapping?

How long before ties to Trump emerge?

The MAGA folks have already begun making excuses for their fellow white supremacist. After months of proclaiming “Law & Order” they are no saying the FBI is wrong and this is a hoax.

Please don’t let there be any Black men involved with this. 🙏🏾 (checks notes) Oh! They were recruiting at the 2nd Amendment gun rally? Never mind.

They should worry about the racist named Joe Biden, and how brainwashed America is

Waiting for Trump to condemn this act of domestic terrorism any minute now...

Am i the only one not buying this BS w/GovWhitmer? She just got slapped down by our Supreme Court here in Mich last week. Now we're supposed to believe there was a coup on social media against her:) This might be her Morton Downey moment folks? Big Gretch is full of Big BS too!

TrumpsAmerica

Always the victim...

Oh no! tRUMP's guys get caught red-handed. I'm sure DonnyCrook will say: 'They're very nice people'!

But...But...what about the 'LAW&ORDER' that you guys talk about? And....And.. what about the Blue Lives Matter that you guys are so proud of? This is what a cluster fuck looks like when you let a 70 year old maniac and devil with a IQ of -1 million run a country.

scrowder thoughts? Lol

Wow...just wow....

kenklippenstein They tried to stage a coup. Revoke their citizenship and deport them to Medellin

Trump called to LIBERATE MICHIGAN.. ARREST HIM TOO.

Because she followed CDC guidelines? Sounds like these low IQ militia people are looking for some violence as they have NO REAL PURPOSE.

Law and Order? This was originated after Trump’s LIBERATE MICHIGAN tweet... and there were hundreds of posts and tweets from groups planning her lynching and beheading. He sees them as lawful and applauded their armed takeover of the Capitol. Law enforcement? Sees their threat.

BretBaier is donald j trump paying the cost of criminal defence of right wing radicals who were attempting to kidnap the governor of Michigan donald j trump said he would pay all costs of defence of anyone who would attack those not in full support of him politically

Welcome to tRump’s “great” America!

Anyone else believe AG Barr will intervene in this case? BarrMustGo

Protect this woman!

I'm sure they are very fine people.

FBI needed an October Surprise after the declassifications.

Who is behind it

I hope GovWhitmer is thanking law enforcement! With all the ridicule and lack of support (including her) they receive, they still did their job and protected her!

Don’t put your revolutionary plot on social media 😝😂😂😆🤣I’m sure Trump thinks they’re very fine people

joerogan while you go after Antifa

I think it may be time to deport the Right-wing white supremacists at this time. Seems these IQ45 supporting republicans are now resorting to a new level of violence. At the very least they need to be officially labeled recognized as a Hate Group and enemies of the state.

The republican dominated KKK at work again in MI! Vote blue

Such a Nazi thing to do.

Betty White

sounds like bullshit

Oh look, now white domestic terrorists are trying to kidnap Big Gretch. I'm sure the silence from the White Supremacy House will be deafening on this one too.

So is trump going to take any responsibility

Six right-wing terrorists seek to kidnap a duly-elected governor. I expect the president's silence will be deafening.

Who has continuously demonized Governor Whitmer and made her into a threat to be feared? The president of the United States. Trump helped to incite this domestic terrorist plot.

sortaskeptical Looks like dog whistle Donald just lost 6 more votes in Michigan.

They would have released her immediately cause they couldn’t stand listening to her stupidity

Can they connect this to Nugent?

I guess federal law enforcement comes in handy sometimes after all. GovWhitmer

Wow! You just can't make this up. Trump and his cult are criminals. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are the REAL people who will make our country great.

This has to be fake, who wants her?

Domestic terrorist. What is with wyteppo whereas they feel emboldened to violate you physically because they don’t like you? Anti abortion: shoot the Dr. INCEL: shoot the woman. Chicks in gaming? Threaten rape. Black ppo thrive?: kill them. Y’all are doing this wrong.

String em up!

I cannot stop laughing about this. I am not a Gretchen fan but, uhhh, why are you going to kidnap an adult. I mean what are you gonna do with her when you get her, how is this going to be worth the jail time? What are you leveraging - AMERICANS DO NOT NEGOTIATE. MORONS - HAHAHAHA

NicoletteGlazer Trump should be named a co conspirator because he incited this kind of behavior.

drawandstrike Why? I think this was just an attn getter planned to get sympathy. Her team probably planned it

Going to prison for life to own the libs

Militia=terrorists

melpriceHB TrumpsAmerica

WOW... smh

As a decent human, I’m glad they stopped this plot. However, i do wonder if GovWhitmer will use the fact that citizens of her state are now willing to commit treason, and risk a death sentence, as a moment to reflect on the way she’s chosen to use (or abuse) her power.

What happened to law and order?

Put odds on it that they are Trump supporters or white supremists

The blame for this lays at the feet of the President. trump routinely gets these idiots worked up and ready for action.

Kidnapping this miscreant wench would be like O.Henry's 'Ransom of Red Chief'...the kidnappers would have to pay MI to take her back.

Taking bets for when their cult leader pardons these very fine people...

Welp, will it be laughed off as a prank as she laughed off her husband at their vacation home breaking shelter in place rules?

2020 wild

Oh, she has a vacation home. Liberals looking down on poorly people but telling the people they feel your pain...such lies.

don't be shy say it was trump supporters

Trump terrorism.

Kudos to the FBI for thwarting this plot! Tells you what dog whistles can lead to! It’s a caution never to treat them lightly!

Kidnap the governor? Drake and Josh anyone?

This POS!!

Darn Antifa!

Seriously what is wrong with people

Lol that is so funny. Kidnapping her for what purpose lol. Considering cities brining nowadays would kidnapping still be considered a peaceful protest Just asking lmfao. Well, at least Those criminals can still vote from prison like the dnc wants lmfao

What would anyone have to gain by kidnapping a liberal/democrat Everybody knows liberal/democrats have no redeeming VALUE what-so-ever!

“kidnap the governor!?”

Bothered_Blonde The six were part of her security detail.

This is domestic terrorism

🤣 probably 'it was an idea' just ask Biden

Oh my

Next we'll see a tweet saying the White Nationalists are 'very fine people' with Pardon in the wings!

Proud boys

drawandstrike It would have been interesting if they'd have asked for a ransom and the people of Michigan said no.

Terrorists.

Thankful that the governor is safe. Need to make an example of these guys, or someone else will try this again.

Wild stuff

So again it’s trumps fault?

That's a planning a terrorist attack, not just a little kidnapping plot. Maybe change the lede...

TheGayHumanist Zero chance that Trump actually condemns this on his own. These are his people.

Spoiler: IT was not Antifa!

And yet HillaryClinton BarackObama JoeBiden Comey JohnBrennan are having brunch. FBI ? Crickets.

I call bee ess. Who'd want to do that? Maybe assassinate, but kidnap? I just noticed theres 2 asses in assassinate. Thats funny.

Its as if, we could've guessed this would happen because of radicalisation via Trump.

Put them in jail forever. These types don’t deserve the freedoms our democracy provides.

A bunch of Trump Neanderthals.

I dont condone this, but what do you expect when you act like a power mad dictator. She needs to realize she's hurting the people of Michigan. Unfortunately, some of these people will act deliberately when their freedoms are restricted.

Well would you look at that.

So DANGEROUS.

realBexar Stand back and stand by

More white supremacist terrorism. The greatest threat to our nation...

BretBaier Obviously it didn’t work. Damn!

Guess the potential kidnappers thought they were acting on Trump’s orders to liberate Michigan

Yeah...nothing to see here...just a bunch of militiamen wanting to overthrow the government. 😳 VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

No one would actually kidnap her because no one wants her. Even Michigan has buyers remorse.

John Cornyn, Thom Tillis, Cory Gardner, Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell?

Eww, who would want to purposely be near her for that long?

People warned her that fucking with people's lives like she's doing could be hazardous to her own. This proves it.

*checks 2020 Bingo card*

This is crazy what is country turning into 😕 !

BettyBuckley 'Whitmer has been praised but also deeply criticized for the state’s response to the coronavirus.' The AP should do a better job.

Wonder who encouraged this?

After

realDonaldTrump needs to go. This is what he has turned this country into. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

Why isn’t the term “terrorist plot” used here? It’s appropriate. Are you choosing not to use it because white men are the perpetrators?

What a sad world we live in.

Wow. This needs more press. Especially because it occurred after Trump's tweet back in April.

connorclapp15 cbeef12 I’m confused why there’s so many people defending the kidnappers and saying she deserves it. Regardless of party, who roots for someone to get kidnapped 😂 like that’s kinda ridiculous lol

In before Fox News hosts start calling them “Heroes”

But...but Antifa though...

drawandstrike Can’t say I blame them.

BretBaier Idiots. What a waste of time. They would have to release her within 10 minutes due to her annoying personality.

Thank god this was stopped.

This is what happens when kids play army (or perhaps ISIS since these guys are more in line with that) for too long.

Insecure White men, angry they are forced to compete against people with brown skin. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Meanwhile in the real news things that actually happened.

They sound like trumps “good people”...

Rational GOP base voters

Maybe they were mad she built a wall around the governor’s mansion.
