So, on April 17, Trump tweeted “LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment.” Trump also tweeted “LIBERATE MICHIGAN!” Then…this s*** happened:
April 30: Armed demonstrators enter the Michigan Capitol with rifles as part of a protest against COVID-19 orders. At least one protester carried a Confederate flags and another sign read “Tyrants Get the Rope.”
May 11: Detroit Metro Times reports that Whitmer opponents are spreading violent threats against the governor in private Facebook groups.
May 15: Michigan State Police officials announce charges against Detroit man Robert S. Tesh, who they allege made credible threats to kill Whitmer and Attorney General Dana Nessel.
Oct. 8: Federal authorities announced they’ve thwarted a plan to kidnap Whitmer.
And now:
“Members of an alleged conspiracy to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer also talked about ‘taking out’ a second politician, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, an FBI agent said Tuesday.”
So…any coincidence here, or just totally random events? Hmmm…
