Trump Administration's FBI saves Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer from anarchists, Whitmer offers back blame and ingratitude
American Thinker ^ | 10/09/2020 | Monica Showalter

Michigan's leftist governor, Gretchen Whitmer, was yesterday saved from an anarchist kidnapping plot by President Trump's FBI.  But instead of thanking him as ultimate leader of the bureau and the U.S. Attorney's Office, which brought charges for this service, she flung political poo at the president instead. 

According to Newsweek:

"Just last week, the president of the United States stood before the American people and refused to condemn white supremacists and hate groups like these two militia groups," Whitmer said during a news briefing, referring to Trump's comments during his debate with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. "Stand back and stand by, he told them."

"Hate groups heard the president's words not as a rebuke but as a rallying cry, as a call to action," Whitmer added. "When our leaders speak, their words matter. They carry weight. When our leaders meet with, encourage or fraternize with domestic terrorists, they legitimize their actions and they are complicit. When they stoke or contribute to hate speech, they are complicit."

This is quite a thing to say to someone who marshaled the resources of the federal government on a dangerous undercover mission to ensure that she stayed safe.  Sure, she made nominal and vague thanks to unnamed law enforcement on the ground, but she never mentioned whose law enforcement it was that did the heroic deed.  It sure as heck wasn't an agency she had any control over.  Worse still, her predicate claim was a lie, given that President Trump has condemned white supremacist hate groups. 

Normal people would say "thanks."

But for Trump-obsessed Democrats such as Whitmer, blaming Trump worked better.

It turns out that her would-be attackers, from some sort of Michigan militia group similar to the ones that Timothy McVeigh was attracted to, groups she has done nothing about as governor in the state she rules with an iron hand, are also Trump-haters, anarchists who, along with extremist groups such as Black Lives Matter, are primarily anti-police.  According to Bridge Michigan, a state non-profit news agency, the two groups actually work together.

The group McVeigh had been with had plotted a bombing of that building years years.

But the tidy package is that it was 2 people only and it was because of right wing talk radio upset over Waco.

Those who voted for Gretch the Wretch should be ashamed and seriously question whether they should continue to stain the U.S. by living here.

Trump: 'I condemn all white supremacists'

"I've said it many times, and let me be clear again: I condemn the [Ku Klux Klan]. I condemn all white supremacists. I condemn the Proud Boys. I don’t know much about the Proud Boys, almost nothing. But I condemn that," Trump said on Sean Hannity's Fox News show.

The president's clear denunciation came after he and his spokespeople faced pressure to clarify his views on white supremacist groups after he told the Proud Boys, a far-right militia group, to "stand back and stand by" on Tuesday night.

[Other than mistakenly including the Proud Boys in the group, he can't make it any clearer]

Well, you see, the liberal-leftists think that blaming Trump for all their ills and mistakes works for them. It might against, say, Mitt Romney or George W. Bush, but Donald Trump is made of sterner stuff, and he is way smarter with more shrewd savvy than anyone the Republicans have put up in the three decades or so.

The Democrats have pulled gun out of holster on the wrong guy this time.

Yup, the “fine people/dog whistle” lies again. Sorta like carmela using the “military losers and suckers” lie the other night. Nope. They know no depths they’ll sink to.

Wrong. The FBI isn’t Trump’s and it certainly is We-The-Peoples. It is a primary arm of deep state DC and does whatever the owners of DC do.

That isn’t Trump’s fbi... that is deep state entrappers sidling up to malleable retard losers in order to push “white male gun owners who like trump are bad” narratives.

The FBI is part of the Executive Branch, so yes, it is part of Trump’s FBI, as for the rest, the cop haters are not anyone’s friend, and in any sane world you would have bipartisan support in cracking down on thugs like Antifa rather than act nice and hope that they would punish the other side.
