(Reuters) -The names of U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers appeared on a hit list kept by a man accused of fatally shooting a retired Wisconsin judge, authorities and local media said on Saturday.
"Yesterday our office was notified by law enforcement officials that Governor Whitmer's name appeared on the Wisconsin gunman's list," a spokesman for Whitmer told Reuters.
"While the news reports are deeply troubling, we will not comment further on an ongoing criminal investigation," he added.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice said retired judge John Roemer, 68, was found dead on Friday in his home after the local sheriff's office received a call about "an armed person and two shots fired in a Township of New Lisbon residence."

(16,927 posts)Mitch is really sweating bullets (ooooh, pardon THAT pun!): How did HE ever get on THAT list?
He can always send 'Thoughts & Prayers' when the victims and 'intended' victims are the 'right' ones, but HE is on the list?
Reminds me of the Florida prison guard - a MAGAtard - said about her 'dear leader:'
"He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting...."
