Feds charge six militia members in a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, court records show

The FBI became aware early in 2020, through social media, that a militia group was"discussing the violent overthrow of certain government and law enforcement components," and"agreed to take violent action," according to a sworn affidavit.

The group met for field exercises and training this year, and one meeting on June 20 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was monitored by the FBI, the affidavit alleges. "All of us can disagree about politics, but those disagreements should never, ever result in violence," said U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider in the Eastern District of Michigan."The allegations in this complaint are deeply disturbing. We owe are thanks to the men and women of law enforcement who uncovered this plot and have worked so hard to protect Gov. Whitmer."

Let’s be clear, these thugs are white supremacy terrorists

that shouldn't be happen, we must learn how to be free and fair to each other

But Trump said there were good people 'on both sides.'

Calling them militia makes you complicit

You spelled terrorists wrong!

You misspelled Domestic Terrorist.

Not militia.

Why can’t they just play softball and bowl like the groups of old white guys do where I live. My militia won the fall slow pitch title two years running.

Paging JussieSmollett & BubbaWallace

This is on Trump

Why is this militia not named? Is it going to go viral? worshipped? tattooed? graffitied? Stand back!!

Waiting for realDonaldTrump to say “they are good people” because he won’t denounce them

I have one question..WHAT THE FRICK?

I think you meant to say 6 domestic terrorists.

And yet nothing against ANTIFA. Why is that, FBI

USEcoProduct Militia members in United States are all domestic terrorists.

WhiteNationalistTerrorism

*six domestic white terrorists

These are white terrorists. There’s no militia. Stop with the bs Call them what they really are.

Their not militia members, they are domestic terrorists.

Haven’t seen the indictment yet but hope they are charged as TERRORISTS.

STANDBY

'White nationalist terrorists', not 'militia members'

Cult 45 are domestic terrorists.
