Suspects behind thwarted kidnapping plot are 'domestic terrorists': Michigan governor
Source: ABC News
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer urged for the conspirators behind the foiled kidnapping plot that allegedly targeted her to be called "domestic terrorists," likening the months-long plan to ISIS.
"It wasn't simply to kidnap. It was to put me on a trial or some sort and possibly execute me," she said on ABC's "The View" on Tuesday. "That's the kind of thing you expect to hear from a group like ISIS. That's why when people refer to them as militias, we have to call them out as what they are, domestic terrorists."
The first-term governor pivoted to casting a rejection of violent extremist groups as a reflection of the choice on November's ballot, without ever mentioning President Donald Trump by name.
"There are those who use their platforms to stoke and incite and give comfort to these groups. That's not acceptable," she said. "That's one of the things that's at stake in this election in three weeks. We have a choice between someone who has done that or someone who is a deeply human, kind person who reached out, a deeply decent person like Joe Biden."
