The Hill reports:
President Trump on Tuesday lashed out at Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) during a rally in her home state, triggering a “lock her up” chant and arguing that the men accused of planning to kidnap her were entitled to a presumption of innocence.
Trump blasted Whitmer at length during remarks to supporters in Lansing, railing against the restrictions she imposed earlier in the year intended to slow the spread of the coronavirus. At the first mention of the governor, the crowd broke into a chant of “lock her up.”
Trump smirked and looked on silently before adding: “See, I don’t comment on that because every time if I make just a little bit of a nod, they say, ‘the president led them.'” Trump then added: “I don’t have to lead you.”
The FBI alleges a militia plotted to kidnap and kill Michigan Whitmer.
