Whitmer: Trump Excusing Politcal Violence Has Created a ‘Really Dangerous Precedent
Breitbart ^ | 01/28/2025 | Pam Key

Posted on 01/28/2025 11:43:34 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) claimed Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump’s pardons have excused political violence, and that has created a “really dangerous precedent.”

Co-host Sara Haines said, “Governor in your memoir, True Gretch you write about being the target of a far-right militia kidnapping plot. We talked about that a lot during the height of the pandemic.”

She asked, “Did Trump’s pardoning of roughly 1,500 January 6th rioters bring back your own experience with political violence and what message do you think that sends?”

Whitmer said, “I think it does send a bad message, right, that we tolerate, excuse and help people who have taken their grievances to mean violence against their fellow Americans.”

She continued, “It’s never acceptable. It’s not acceptable when I am the target. It’s not acceptable when Donald Trump is the target of it.”

That so called "far right" kidnapping seemed to be a set up IMO.

The BLM riots were excused political violence... not only excused but encouraged.

These people trying to feign outrage is comical.

It was a complete fabrication.
Much like the “Newburgh 4”.
Find some idiots, talk them into doing stupid stuff, have only them arrested, the dozens of feds involved who planned and executed most of it mysteriously vanish without a peep.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe blanket pardons should have been given to those who engaged in violence on Jan 6, but the attempt to feign outrage by claiming political violence has not only been allowed, but actively encouraged by the left is just nonsensical.

Selective outrage, I have no place for, when either side does it.

you mean like rape, murder pedophilia gretchen? Oh wait, that was BIDEN who pardoned those folks- Pres Trump only pardoned people who were WAY OVER CHARGED for simple assault- they did 4 or more years- which is PLENTY for simple assault! BIDEN pardoned mass murderers, brutal gang members- rapists etc etc etc- go cry us a river that Pres Trump pardoned folks who did nothing more than step foot on capitol grounds!

Oh, and grow up drama queen!

Claptrap like this is why the false-flag nature of J6 needs to be exposed. The broader public needs to understand the role the democrats and the deep state played in engineering the “insurrection” as well as the false narrative about it.

Perhaps the new DOJ might take a fresh and thorough look into J6 and also the alleged Whitmer kidnapping plot?

Might be interesting.

Anything that was said on The View is probably a load of crap. I would like to hear her opinion on holding someone in jail for almost 4 year without a “fair and speedy trial” and how it’s okay for all the BLM and Antifa violence is acceptable. Time to hold the people who say such thing to the fire and explain how they can justify their stance.
