FBI STOPS Plot to Kidnap and Kill Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer – Whitmer Blames Trump (VIDEO)

The FBI announced on Thursday during a press conference that it thwarted a plot by a so-called “right-wing militia” to kidnap and kill Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and overthrow the state government.

Early Thursday morning, federal agencies raided a house in Hartland, Michigan and arrested six men: Adam Fox, Barry Croft, Ty Garbin, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris, and Brandon Caserta.

“All of us in Michigan can disagree about politics, but those disagreements should never, ever amount to violence,” said Matthew Schneider, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. “Violence has been prevented today.”

US Attorney Andrew Birge said the anarchists were planning to kidnap Whitmer from her vacation home before the Nov. election.

The FBI became aware of the plot through discussions on social media in early 2020, however, they decided to pull the trigger today (interesting timing).

The six men spent months practicing their plot with other militia members.
