Trump: Domestic Terrorists Who Stormed Michigan Capitol ‘Are Very Good People’
Defending the Indefensible: President Trump praises the heavily armed domestic terrorists that stormed the Michigan Capitol on Thursday to fight Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home order.
Trump issued his praise for the domestic terrorists on Twitter Friday morning, declaring:
Trump was praising the heavily armed protesters (domestic terrorists) who stormed Michigan’s state capitol building Thursday in an attempt to intimidate lawmakers who were deliberating on extending the state’s stay-at-home order.
Adding insult to injury, Trump was suggesting that Governor Whitmer should negotiate with the terrorists he calls “very good people.”
As one might imagine, Trump’s remarks were met with ridicule and condemnation on social media. Many compared Trump’s remarks praising Michigan’s domestic terrorists to his remarks praising the white supremacists who marched in the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017. For example:
Trump’s “very good people” carried semi-automatic rifles into the Michigan state capitol yesterday and signs that called the Governor a “tyrant” and a “bitch.”
1. Armed white protesters break the law and noisily storm the State Capitol in Michigan. Trump says: "These are very good people."
2. Black NFL players lawfully and quietly protest police *******. Trump says: "Get that ******* of a bitch off the field right now! Out! He's fired!"
Bottom line: Defending the indefensible, President Trump praises the heavily armed domestic terrorists that stormed the Michigan Capitol on Thursday.

Six men charged in alleged plot to ******* Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
At a meeting, the men discussed attacking a Michigan State Police facility, and in a separate conversation one defendant suggested shooting up the governor’s vacation home, authorities allege.
Six men are under arrest for "conspiring to *******" Michigan's Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer, from her vacation home before the November election, federal authorities said Thursday.
The arrests grew out of an FBI investigation begun in March into militia groups' discussing the "violent overthrow" of certain government and law enforcement officials, and each of the men faces up to life in prison if convicted of the federal charges, authorities said.
Michigan State Attorney General Dana Nessel also announced at a news conference with federal officials Thursday an additional, preliminary 19 state felony charges “pursuant to the Michigan anti-terrorism act” against seven individuals, all now in custody, linked to the militia group, "Wolverine Watchmen."
"The individuals in custody are suspected to have attempted to identify the home addresses of law enforcement officers in order to target them, made threats of violence intended to instigate a civil war, and engaged in planning and training for an operation to attack the capitol building of Michigan and to ******* government officials, including the governor of Michigan," Nessel said in a news release.
“There has been a disturbing increase in anti-government rhetoric and the re-emergence of groups that embrace extremist ideologies,” Nessel said. “These groups often seek to recruit new members by seizing on a moment of civil unrest and using it to advance their agenda of self-reliance and armed resistance. This is more than just political disagreement or passionate advocacy, some of these groups’ mission is simply to create chaos and inflict harm upon others.”
The six suspects in the alleged kidnapping plot used encrypted messaging to communicate about the plot, conducted coordinated surveillance on the governor's vacation home and detonated an improvised explosive device wrapped with shrapnel, officials said.
Based on court documents, the FBI was well aware of the activities of the six men charged Thursday and there does not seem to have been an imminent threat posed to Gov. Whitmer, a Democrat.
The documents identify the defendants as Adam Fox, Barry Croft, Ty Garbin, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris, and Brandon Caserta.
At a meeting in July, allegedly attended and recorded by one of the informants, the men “discussed attacking a Michigan State Police facility, and in a separate conversation after the meeting, Garbin suggested shooting up the Governor’s vacation home," authorities said.
Then at a July 27 meeting, Fox and an informant discussed a possible kidnapping of Whitmer, with the defendant allegedly saying: “Snatch and grab, man. Grab the f---ing governor. Just grab the b----. Because at that point, we do that, dude — it’s over.”
The alleged conspirators used code words and encrypted platforms to shield their discussions from authorities, according to U.S. Attorney Andrew Birge.
"Fox and Croft in particular ... discussed detonating explosive devices to divert police form the area of the (governor's vacation) home," Birge said.
The federal investigation involved at least one member of a Michigan militia group who was involved in a Second Amendment rally at the Michigan statehouse in June.
That member allegedly told the FBI that the group was considering killing police officers and agreed to become an informant.
But the involvement of that militia in the plot to ******* the governor appears to be minimal as the group that is charged today allegedly discussed keeping the broader militia out of their actual plan.
In a YouTube video from May, Caserta claimed in a 30-minute diatribe that “the enemy is government.” He shot the video in front of an anarchist’s flag and a map of Michigan.
Caserta did not post on YouTube again until three weeks ago. In that video, Caserta does not speak, and simply loads and poses with a long gun off camera while wearing a shirt that says “F--- The Government.”
For months, Whitmer has drawn the ire of militia groups and others opposed to her restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus.
Armed protesters took to the streets of Lansing, the state capital, during the early days of Whitmer’s coronavirus lockdown orders. And President Donald Trump famously tweeted "LIBERATE MICHIGAN!" in April.
The Governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire," Trump tweeted on May 1. "These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely! See them, talk to them, make a deal."
Whitmer was elected as the state's 49th governor in 2018, defeating Republican Bill Schuette by nearly 10 percentage points.
