Former FBI Director Andrew McCabe pointed the finger at President Donald Trump on Thursday for fostering a cultural climate which triggered six men to allegedly plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D).

During a press conference on Thursday, federal prosecutors revealed that the militia members plotted against Whitmer because of the coronavirus-related restrictions she put on the state.

Following the press conference, CNN’s Brianna Keilar noted that Trump had attacked Whitmer over her handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

In one tweet Trump wrote, “Liberate Michigan!”

The "Proud Boys" immediately got going after the jackass told them to hold and be ready, they mobilized, HE IS PART OF THEM, its his orders and he should be made accountable.

In my county they were holding secret meetings to remove her from office. I'm betting cell phones will tell a much bigger story eventually.

Isn't their laws , really harsh laws against those kinds of terrorists then enacted after 9-11? Like they lose many rights, and can be held differently?

People like this are part of the private army Trump thinks he can call up to overthrow the election when Biden wins.

I wonder if a big ole' Aeroflot will be ready and waiting at "Ronald Reagan International" a little after the polls close November 3rd awaiting a "certain family" for their well-earned "international excursion?"

Of course, there may be more than one wide body available for maybe 51 colleagues and their families!

And the ultimate irony would be to transport that POS to Ronald Reagan Airport on Marine 1!
