After foiled kidnapping plot, Michigan Gov. Whitmer says threats are 'ongoing'

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the alleged target of a foiled kidnapping plot, says the threats against her and other officials haven't stopped.

"There is ongoing rhetoric. Even the president last night in his tweet storm won't stop attacking me, and I think that it's creating a very dangerous situation -- not just for me but for people in leadership roles who are trying to save lives all across this country," Whitmer told ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos during an interview Friday on "Good Morning America."

"Bigotry and prejudice and violence is not acceptable," she added.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced charges on Thursday against six men in Michigan allegedly involved in a monthslong plot to kidnap the Democratic governor and violently overthrow the state's government before the November presidential election. During a press conference that afternoon, a visibly angry Whitmer lashed out at President Donald Trump for "stoking" hate and called the suspects "sick and depraved men."

Hopefully enough of these idiots will out themselves and be locked away for a while.

1. We knew this was likely to happen the closer we got to election. Why we were talking about it so

much the last couple months and Trump aggravating these groups into an heated frenzy. The closer we get, the more they see a wipe out with Republicans, the more we will hear from these people.

2. I hope secret service is ready to double the guard

when Joe wins.

There are a lot of loons with a lot of guns out there that have been egged on and riled up for the last 4 years.

And I hope every D governor has some serious protection.

I’m worried about Evers in WI since his guard are State Troopers who have incredibly close and twisted connections to right wing nuts.

3. I didn't think it was over.

Said that in another thread.


Vanilla ISIS.

4. Really really stupid.

Why is it rethugs are so willing to demonstrate their utter stupidity in public?

5. It is reasonable to assume there are other groups and plans

Aside from the null and void gang that was caught.
