Washington (CNN) Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam on Wednesday said President Donald Trump's rhetoric is "emboldening" white supremacists such as the individuals involved in an alleged plot to kidnap him and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
A group charged with plotting to kidnap Whitmer discussed plans to take out sitting governors, including Northam, over "coronavirus-related lockdown orders," an FBI agent testified in court on Tuesday. Northam and Whitmer, both Democrats, were among governors who issued coronavirus-related executive orders in the spring that closed down restaurants, bars and gyms.
Northam told CNN's John Berman on "New Day" Wednesday that he has been dealing with multiple threats since January and that he does not "govern under a cloud of intimidation." "That's not who I am. And this is not about me," he said. "It's not about the governor of Michigan. This is about this country. And it's about a president that is emboldening these individuals, these white supremacists."

The irony is not lost on him here.
How...? Because he says so? Ipse dixit?
The whole “white supremacist” thing is a red herring.
There aren’t enough “white supremacists” to fill a minivan.
Yup.
Anyway, they were anarchists who hated Trump.
CNN should fact check themselves!
You can’t make this chit up.
From a guy who stays in office after promoting infanticide. Why is he still governor? No one pays attention to him. Do they?
...Now For Real News!
Has Wolf been fired for his questioning of Queen Nancy?
Is the FBI doing a Roger Stone raid on Joe and Hunter this morning?
Saw the CNN byline and knew it wasn’t worth reading...
I follow CNN on twitter for comedy value.
Like him? lol
The way the Democratic Governor NPCs work is you press control and then you press W and then the clown screeches “white supremacist”.
This has been known to be entertaining to five year olds and border collies!
How ironic because the left is embracing and encouraging the violence from antifa/BLM/Marxist.
“...President Donald Trump’s rhetoric is “emboldening” white supremacists...”
No, Governor Northam, liberals, democrats, progressives (in no particular order) are “creating” white supremacists, and racists of all colors. It is as simple as that.
Gretchen Whitney says the same thing of flag waving patriotic non violent Trump supporters. “Right wing terrorist groups! We must stop them!”? But no mention of their own feces that are BLM and Antifa... The true terrorists. They are really pushing this on all venues. If you fly an American flag on your porch you are “Rascist!” These people are so demented that when Trump wins in November a goodly amount of them will suffer mass embolisms leading to strokes. I don’t wish this on anyone. But you can’t help someone else get their head out of their ass. Just watch in horror and disgust I guess. It sure will be a spectacle.
Does Trump’s rhetoric make Northam want to party down again in blackface or his old Klan regalia?
