‘We Are Tough As Hell’: Whitmer Addresses Alleged Kidnapping Plot | MSNBC
People need to stop calling them militias, they were terrorists.
@Mikey Polstein No. He declared for trump a long time ago of course.
@James Gray Can I use that? THat’s awesome.
@William H Liberals aren’t nazis and they hate nazis. Nazis are nazis. Trump supporters are nazis. Therefor liberals hate nazis. Do you get it now?
foxdesignbuild foxdesignbuild 👍 Feel Free!
I agree.
Do take note that the cowardly sycophants chose a woman to abduct _MORE PROOF OF THEIR COWARDICE_
@Siraj Savari ✌
@keyth jones They’re ANTIFA. The videos are out with them wanting to abolish the police and bringing down the government. They are the left’s pets. Leftists ALWAYS get caught saying that nonsense, so why keep doing it?
To bad most of her citizens don’t like her ,
They would have never paid for her ransom.
I think some of you people carry things way too far, are you saying that an average female is as physically strong and able to defend herself as an average male? ROFLMAO remember we’re talking about average here not Rhonda Rousey
Y’all need to start complaining about the woman on your favorite news channels because they spend an awful lot of time on how Trump attacks women because he perceives them as weak, these people obviously felt the same about whitmer, that’s my freaking point!!!
This is what our jails are for. Not some poor guy with a traffic violation. Jail should be for violent offenders.
No one goes to jail for a traffic violation.
@Sarah Brown What do you think happens when someone is too poor to pay the fine? Do you honestly think the court says, oh well never mind? I doubt you read much, so here is a John Oliver video on how the poor are treated when they get traffic violations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UjpmT5noto
You’re f*cking right!!! Gerard Ahern!!!👉💪🤝🤜🤜🤜🤝🤝
I don’t agree, jail is for offenders, violent or not. If the law says they should be jailed, then they should.
AMEN
This is what Trump propaganda is doing and the GOP is not stopping him, so the we the people must.
This clearly a lie. MSNBC doesn’t fact check. Antifa is myth remember. Anarchist are myth, remember. This story is a hoax. Did MSNBC just gender identify people on top of spreading these lies. That is wrong MSNBC. Look at all you fake Biden supporters. If you have not executed police stolen Trump signs Fired Trump supporters then you all are cowards.
Vote out , the supporters, of terrorists .Vote Biden & Harris 2020.
@Uoffend Me Trump and Fox are the greatest liars in modern history, MSNBC is no wear near them for their blatant spreading of propaganda and the majority now know it.
@Rosalie Parker someone needs to encourage you to learn how to spell!
mook. right on dude!! 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🌊🌊🌊🇱🇷🌊
Farming Nazis.
I’m White Boy Crazy. How Ya Like Me Now==Cool-Mo-De…:0) I love my 2nd Amendment Yippie!!

@SuperBullaMan you’re the problem from the backwaters. Crawl back under your rock troll.
All American Chutzpah guess the left is for revolution as long as they are the ones starting it
Valley of the Sun can you please change backwaters to backcloset
Just glad that she is ok
Feeding trolls is not in me.
Brian Keyes well said!!!
J W anything is not recognized as Canada is not anything that is recognized.
Same I may not like whitmer at times but this was uncalled for and scary that this goes hand in hand with trumps tweet about Michigan
Same here
26 days, 10 hours, 12 minutes, 6 seconds to go……but who’s counting!!
Someone needs to put that countdown up at Times Square.
@A. S. Why? Nobody is around to see it.. Maybe somewhere in Florida. No lockdowns there.
Not me
Voting💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
I am counting even in my dreams
VOTE EARLY AND IT WILL BE OVER NOV 1ST FOR THE WORLD TO SEE…
@don juran You forgot the word “out”…
Vote Trump OUT….
Glad I could help…easy enough fix…
@IncognitoTorpedo 10 different sources including John Bolton who was right next to Trump and doesn’t even like him all say he didn’t say it, Jeff Goldberg who fabricated this is a well known mafia movie buff and the line is directly from the Godfather lol
TOO easy to disprove.
First thing Oct 14th, can’t wait.
@XXII Elhazaroth Pagangrinder LXXXVIII it’s on tape. Give me a break, Mischa.
@William H No…we don’t hate America….we hate Trumps America.
What leader do you know is afraid of strong women…and voters ?
@Mike w Of Caucasians?
Trump
Trump!
One old white dude can’t take down this country. Bold of him to try though and stupid. Lock his but up
Dump🤣
Mike w why don’t you become leader then fk face
Organization of proud racists at the direction of Trump.
This has Crooked Trump’s hands all over it! Remember the failed plot by an American militia group to capture and murder Venezuela president? Apparently, the Venezuela government has said that the operation was ordered by Crooked Trump himself!
The Venezuela government said that when they interrogated the militia members, that were captured by the Venezuela military, the militia members said that Crooked Trump has discussed and planned the operation with Jordan Goudreau, the militia’s leader, for a while before the operation was taken place!
Expect Crooked Trump to use these kinds of tactics to kidnap and murder American civilians who are protesting against him if he gets 4 more years! He has already shown he is a shady criminal dictator not afraid to use Putin’s playbook to make people disappeared!
SS troops were proud also, ….for a few years, ….until they got obliterated.
@Grand Wonder trump is also vindictive. If he cheats his way to 4 more years, registered Democrats will be in danger.
Anyone plotting to kidnap someone for political reasons should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Trying to murder the mayor of Portland for political reasons by burning down his condo building with dozens of innocent people inside is still okay though, right?
Just checking, because if this is our new standard for acceptable political violence, then there are thousands of BLM people who are going to jail as well for a long time.
Trump, and is supporters, are American greatest enemy . Vote them out.
Why VOTING and the faith in the voting system is SO important.
And when you vote remember they are the left’s ANTIFA scum with videos of them wanting to abolish the police and bringing the government down. 2 things the right would never do.
WARNING !!!! ALIENS HAVE JUST TRIED TO GRAB PORTLANDS MAYOR !!
why do this country allow terrorist to hide behind freedom of speech?
It comes with the territory of free speech. Sometimes people are venting frustrations sometimes the are plotting terrorist attacks. There is a lot of ground in the middle of those two people.
@Chris E …..Not the people threatening to kidnap a governor while possibly killing cops and civilians ?
…..and to hide behind the 2nd Amendment, (which doesn’t apply to them).
@Richard Alderman in my opinion, the moment she said she would defy the ruling of the supreme court in her state, she became a tyrant. Doesnt make what those people plotted right, but i can see where they were coming from. No one deserves to be hurt, and no one deserves to have thier rights trampled on by a despot either. Honestly this is one of the few things perpetrated by a leftist organization recently where I can say i agree in principal, if not on the execution. Its a tough question, at what point does it become the duty of the people to act? It wasnt now, but it wasnt far off either. One thing is for sure, we need to send a strong message to certain states(mine included) on election day, that this kind of authoritarianism isn’t lawful, and it wont be tolerated. All my opinion of course, your entitled to yours.
Chris E why don’t you call your daddy tyrant
Yoopers are proud of her, We are tough, and son is she. And we aren’t bigots
Well..
Mostly not
Yooper nation
@Russell someone who’s from, lives, or ties to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan
She is a stunner. I’d put her in the White house in a New York minute . . . when the time is ripe.
I’m worried about what the Thumb people might do. They are so against her. I’m grateful that she is our Governor especially during this crazy year.
*_No one:_*
*_trump: fine people on both sides_*
Big Mike Hahahaha. First off I’m not white. Second those slave owners fought against the republicans to keep their slaves didn’t they ? While republicans freed the slaves.
And if you read Harris’s dads book. Her grandfather own 89 African slaves on his Jamaican plantation .
@David Hale and like I said, when you support the the idolization of traitors and slave owners, when you support symbols of racism. Your not very fine people. That’s what everyone one there was protesting for. They are no different then any White supremists or kkk.
Big Mike oh it’s activism when the left does it. But it’s hate when the right does the same thing. Got it you’ve showed your two faced hypocrisy.
Big Mike BLM is no better then any white suprematist group. They both seek superiority not equality.
David Hale oh yes I can comprehend,that’s called racist,simple as that.
Don’t try be smart dumass
A few backwoods radicals DO NOT Define the great state of Michigan and it’s citizens. THANK YOU Law Enforcement
Don’t feel bad, Ohio was drug into also.
I don’t think we know where they are from yet.
Jmoneypoprocks You couldn’t have said it better sir and Michiganders are resilient just like the rest of the country. God bless you and your love ones 🙏🏼
Amen!👼💕
Stay strong Michigan. Your Govonor is doing what she feels is right to keep the citizens safe.if only Trump would think of ALL AMERICANS safety
This the kind of politician the US need. Tough, clear and American. For everyone.
🏆
I agree.
donny is the guy who ignores the American bounty hunters sponsored by Russia and the same guy to shout a rallying cry for the Proud Boys to stand by. I guess some were impatient.
This is exactly the kind of “stand by” chaos tRump hopes will disrupt our election.
Richard we have a plan for the good old boys, They have a rude awakening.
good old boys still living in Mommie’s basement ..playing video games and eating pizza rolls… thinking that maybe,just maybe Trump is their real Daddy…… pathetic losers are what they are
A salute to the FBI who do their job regardless of the political pressure from Pres Trump and AG Barr.
You FBI Agents I salute you!
Militias is the wrong word. The word for people who do this is “Terrorist”
@Victor Viterbo Its a bullsh’t story like 90% of the sh’t on MSM. 90% of this sh’t is propaganda to brainwash the masses. CIA Director William Colby, “The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media.”
CIA Director William Casey, “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false”
Money Maker1 oh yeah, you see, all this time… the true racists… were black people.
Yashar’el in Captivity no seriously, you don’t have to take this from NBC, you can take this from the actual FBI
Adam Parisi Calling BLM protesters terrorists is a dangerous road to go down. It creates an us vs them ideology
“us” being the American people and “them” being BLM Protesters and Anti Fascists.
I’ve heard a lot of people refer to BLM as if they’re not Americans too.
But calling BLM protesters terrorists is also just inaccurate, over 90% of the protests are peaceful. So maybe don’t do that.
