Michigan Gov. Whitmer tells NBCNews she was 'shocked' by President Trump's 'appalling' response to her after federal officials revealed they had thwarted a plot to kidnap her.
According to the federal criminal complaint, the men sought to take Whitmer hostage before the November election and conducted surveillance on her vacation home. Just last week, they sought to purchase explosives. One of the alleged plotters referred to the governor as"this tyrant b----" over her coronavirus restrictions.
"It's all at risk now," she said."And we still have a number of executive powers. We've got a statewide mask order that is still in effect. We've got limitations on gatherings that is still in effect. But a lot of the other actions that I was able to take and move swiftly to take them have been undermined."
Yet, she said, the environment is far different now, particularly with our knowledge of the virus having greatly improved.
