🚨‼️FBI thwarts coup plot to violently overthrow the government and kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer by right-wing militia.

And Republicans have the audacity to gaslight that Trump hasn't been America's chief domestic terrorist inciter & sympathizer.

🚨FBI: Militia plotted TERRORIST ACTS against Michigan police, plotted to kidnap Michigan governor, to violently overthrow the government, and incite a civil war. 7 members of "Wolverine Watchmen" militia charged in the conspiracy.

Fmr FBI McCabe: The person MOST responsible for fomenting this sort of violence is the US president. Trump's daily berating the democratic process, claiming election is rigged & replete w/ fraud—all false—is exactly the rhetoric that triggers violent extremists to take action.

Michigan militia plotted carrying out their violent acts before Election Day. So they wanted to impact the election.

McCabe is right to lay right-wing domestic terrorism at Trump's feet. He incites extremists daily. Trump is Russia's greatest weapon, worse than any bomb.

Michigan Gov Whitmer: Hate groups heard the president's words "Stand back & stand by" as a rallying cry. When leaders encourage domestic terrorists, they are complicit.
