Gov. Whitmer Blasts Trump as 'Complicit' in Militants' Foiled Plot to Kidnap Her

She called out Trump’s recent debate performance. “Just last week the President of the United States stood before the American people and refused to condemn white supremacists and hate groups like these two Michigan militia groups. ‘Stand back and standby,’ he told them. ‘Stand back and standby.’ Hate groups heard the president’s words not as a rebuke but as a rallying cry, as a call to action.”

The militants’ alleged plot advanced to “tactical training” at the residence of a militia group member, and to creating and testing improvised explosive devices. The complaint described a failed effort to construct IEDs “using black powder, balloons, a fuse, and BBs for shrapnel…. they did not detonate as planned” and a later success, fashioning a bomb from a commercial firework wrapped “in pennies and electrical tape as shrapnel.

But the men’s talk, the complaint describes, often veered toward discussions of violence and even death. In a group chat, one militant allegedly suggested: “Have one person go to her house. Knock on the door and when she answers it just cap her.” In another chat, a different militant allegedly suggested the final disposition of the governor mattered little to him: “Kidnapping, arson, death. I don’t care.” This comment allegedly prompted the men to discuss burning down the vacation home.
