Whitmer rips Trump campaign for attacking her after alleged kidnapping plot revealed

Source: CNN

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Thursday that attacks lobbed at her by President Donald Trump's reelection campaign after authorities announced they foiled a plot to kidnap her "tells you everything you need to know" about the difference between the President and Joe Biden.

A federal criminal complaint unveiled earlier Thursday said that 13 people were arrested in the kidnapping scheme aimed at Whitmer, a Democrat. The alleged plan included plans to overthrow several state governments that the suspects "believe are violating the US Constitution," including the government of Michigan and Whitmer.

Following the announcement by federal and state officials, Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller lambasted the governor, who had tied Trump's rhetoric to the plot in earlier televised remarks, saying she "wakes up everyday with such hatred in her heart" for Trump.

"You know, the fact that after a plot to kidnap and to kill me, this is what they come out with. They start attacking me, as opposed to what good, decent people would do is to check in and say, 'Are you OK?' -- which is what (Democratic presidential nominee) Joe Biden did," Whitmer told CNN's Erin Burnett on "Out Front."

Attacking so many blue state Dem governor's WHO AREN'T EVEN RUNNING THIS YEAR. How stupid is that? He finally found a campaign manager who can stay out of jail, but the guy obviously has no control over the campaign and Trump lurches it at targets in his sight for revenge and vindictiveness. They are running the government as badly as their campaign too.

He is squatting on the Constitution and laying mile high turds of deception everywhere he goes.

He is eroding checks and balances, stacking the Supreme Court, firing all watchdogs and paying people to say that he isn't lying.

He's let over 200,000 Americans fall to Covid and even though he may die of it himself, still is encouraging more people to not wear masks because of some weird thoughts that it might "sissify" somebody.

He IS INSANE.

I guess that is the answer. Hate the insanity and forgive the sorry sod for his childhood that made him this way, just like Hitler. It takes a Severely Horrible father to create a maniacal dictator.

BUT FORGIVE AFTER shoving the 25th Amendment on him and getting him OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!
