Then, Trump told the Proud Boys to stand back and stand by. Right-wing militant groups in Michigan heard him loud and clear.
Just days ago, the FBI thwarted a full-fledged terrorist plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer and overthrow the state government.
This is deeply dishonest. Whitmer refers to the first presidential debate, when liberal moderator Chris Wallace asked President Trump to tell the Proud Boys (who have no connection whatsoever to the administration) to stand down. After a couple of exchanges, Trump tried to comply with Wallace s request but didn t remember the right preposition. The idea that he was somehow trying to incite the Proud Boys to violence is a ridiculous lie.
As is Whitmer s statement that those arrested by the FBI are members of right-wing militia groups. In fact, they are mostly, if not all, left-wingers and anti-Trump anarchists.
