    1. @William H Liberals aren’t nazis and they hate nazis. Nazis are nazis. Trump supporters are nazis. Therefor liberals hate nazis. Do you get it now?

    1. @keyth jones They’re ANTIFA. The videos are out with them wanting to abolish the police and bringing down the government. They are the left’s pets. Leftists ALWAYS get caught saying that nonsense, so why keep doing it?

    2. I think some of you people carry things way too far, are you saying that an average female is as physically strong and able to defend herself as an average male? ROFLMAO remember we’re talking about average here not Rhonda Rousey

    3. Y’all need to start complaining about the woman on your favorite news channels because they spend an awful lot of time on how Trump attacks women because he perceives them as weak, these people obviously felt the same about whitmer, that’s my freaking point!!!

  1. This is what our jails are for. Not some poor guy with a traffic violation. Jail should be for violent offenders.

    1. I don’t agree, jail is for offenders, violent or not. If the law says they should be jailed, then they should.

    1. This clearly a lie.  MSNBC doesn’t fact check.  Antifa is myth remember.  Anarchist are myth, remember.  This story is a hoax.  Did MSNBC just gender identify people on top of spreading these lies. That is wrong MSNBC.  Look at all you fake Biden supporters.  If you have not executed police stolen Trump signs Fired Trump supporters then you all are cowards.

    2. @Uoffend Me Trump and Fox are the greatest liars in modern history, MSNBC is no wear near them for their blatant spreading of propaganda and the majority now know it.

    1. “When Fascism comes to America it will not be in brown or black shirts. It will not be with jack boots. It will be with Nike shoes and smiley shirts.”

    1. Same I may not like whitmer at times but this was uncalled for and scary that this goes hand in hand with trumps tweet about Michigan

    1. @IncognitoTorpedo 10 different sources including John Bolton who was right next to Trump and doesn’t even like him all say he didn’t say it, Jeff Goldberg who fabricated this is a well known mafia movie buff and the line is directly from the Godfather lol
      TOO easy to disprove.

    1. Trump!
      One old white dude can’t take down this country. Bold of him to try though and stupid. Lock his but up

    1. This has Crooked Trump’s hands all over it! Remember the failed plot by an American militia group to capture and murder Venezuela president? Apparently, the Venezuela government has said that the operation was ordered by Crooked Trump himself!

      The Venezuela government said that when they interrogated the militia members, that were captured by the Venezuela military, the militia members said that Crooked Trump has discussed and planned the operation with Jordan Goudreau, the militia’s leader, for a while before the operation was taken place!

      Expect Crooked Trump to use these kinds of tactics to kidnap and murder American civilians who are protesting against him if he gets 4 more years! He has already shown he is a shady criminal dictator not afraid to use Putin’s playbook to make people disappeared!

    2. @Grand Wonder trump is also vindictive. If he cheats his way to 4 more years, registered Democrats will be in danger.

    3. Anyone plotting to kidnap someone for political reasons should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Trying to murder the mayor of Portland for political reasons by burning down his condo building with dozens of innocent people inside is still okay though, right?

      Just checking, because if this is our new standard for acceptable political violence, then there are thousands of BLM people who are going to jail as well for a long time.

    1. And when you vote remember they are the left’s ANTIFA scum with videos of them wanting to abolish the police and bringing the government down. 2 things the right would never do.

    1. It comes with the territory of free speech. Sometimes people are venting frustrations sometimes the are plotting terrorist attacks. There is a lot of ground in the middle of those two people.

    2. @Chris E …..Not the people threatening to kidnap a governor while possibly killing cops and civilians ?

    3. @Richard Alderman in my opinion, the moment she said she would defy the ruling of the supreme court in her state, she became a tyrant. Doesnt make what those people plotted right, but i can see where they were coming from. No one deserves to be hurt, and no one deserves to have thier rights trampled on by a despot either. Honestly this is one of the few things perpetrated by a leftist organization recently where I can say i agree in principal, if not on the execution. Its a tough question, at what point does it become the duty of the people to act? It wasnt now, but it wasnt far off either. One thing is for sure, we need to send a strong message to certain states(mine included) on election day, that this kind of authoritarianism isn’t lawful, and it wont be tolerated. All my opinion of course, your entitled to yours.

    1. She is a stunner. I’d put her in the White house in a New York minute . . . when the time is ripe.

    2. I’m worried about what the Thumb people might do. They are so against her. I’m grateful that she is our Governor especially during this crazy year.

    1. Big Mike Hahahaha. First off I’m not white. Second those slave owners fought against the republicans to keep their slaves didn’t they ? While republicans freed the slaves.
      And if you read Harris’s dads book. Her grandfather own 89 African slaves on his Jamaican plantation .

    2. @David Hale and like I said, when you support the the idolization of traitors and slave owners, when you support symbols of racism. Your not very fine people. That’s what everyone one there was protesting for. They are no different then any White supremists or kkk.

    3. Big Mike oh it’s activism when the left does it. But it’s hate when the right does the same thing. Got it you’ve showed your two faced hypocrisy.

  2. A few backwoods radicals DO NOT Define the great state of Michigan and it’s citizens. THANK YOU Law Enforcement

    1. Jmoneypoprocks You couldn’t have said it better sir and Michiganders are resilient just like the rest of the country. God bless you and your love ones 🙏🏼

    2. Stay strong Michigan. Your Govonor is doing what she feels is right to keep the citizens safe.if only Trump would think of ALL AMERICANS safety

  3. donny is the guy who ignores the American bounty hunters sponsored by Russia and the same guy to shout a rallying cry for the Proud Boys to stand by. I guess some were impatient.

    1. good old boys still living in Mommie’s basement ..playing video games and eating pizza rolls… thinking that maybe,just maybe Trump is their real Daddy…… pathetic losers are what they are

  4. A salute to the FBI who do their job regardless of the political pressure from Pres Trump and AG Barr.
    You FBI Agents I salute you!

    1. @Victor Viterbo Its a bullsh’t story like 90% of the sh’t on MSM. 90% of this sh’t is propaganda to brainwash the masses. CIA Director William Colby, “The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media.”
      CIA Director William Casey, “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false”

    2. Yashar’el in Captivity no seriously, you don’t have to take this from NBC, you can take this from the actual FBI

    3. Adam Parisi Calling BLM protesters terrorists is a dangerous road to go down. It creates an us vs them ideology
      “us” being the American people and “them” being BLM Protesters and Anti Fascists.
      I’ve heard a lot of people refer to BLM as if they’re not Americans too.
      But calling BLM protesters terrorists is also just inaccurate, over 90% of the protests are peaceful. So maybe don’t do that.
