Gov. Gretchen Whitmer blasts Trump over 'lock her up' chants at Michigan rally - New York Post

The feud between President Trump and Michigan Gov.

Gretchen Whitmer heated up again Saturday night after attendees at a Trump rally in her home state chanted “Lock her up!” and the president told the crowd, “lock ’em all up.”.

Whitmer’s tweet linked to a clip of the president telling thousands of fans in Muskegon Saturday that they needed to “get your governor to open up your state.”.

“And get your schools open.

Get your schools open.

The schools have to be open, right?” Trump said, as some in the crowd began chanting “lock her up!”.

Whitmer’s remarks on Saturday echoed those she made about the president last Thursday after authorities announced the arrests of 13 militia members who had allegedly planned to kidnap her as part of a scheme that also involved storming the state Capitol and sparking a second American civil war

The governor slammed then what she said was Trump’s refusal to condemn white supremacy and extremism in the U.S

After news of the kidnap plot broke, Trump likened Whitmer to “a dictator,” telling Fox Business News that “people can’t stand her” because of her tough coronavirus lockdown restrictions
