As soon as I heard of the plot against Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, I thought of the videos I saw in a documentary a couple of years ago of Netanyahu speaking at rallies against the Oslo Accords that featured extreme rhetoric against Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, portraying him as Hitler and calling him a traitor, all of which created an atmosphere in which someone could think of assassinating Rabin.
Setting rules to keep citizens safe, while trying to be sure that there would be aid for people unable to work during a lockdown, is not treason. It’s wisdom. The same person who tweeted “Liberate Michigan” (the real DJT) and STILL criticized Governor Whitmer after the plot was revealed. I doubt that he will stop those statements. While he has offered condemnations of militia groups and other similar organizations, he has done so only after an incident when he did NOT make a condemnation.
With every attempt to keep citizens of New Mexico safe, and with cases rising in many places in the state, we have business owners who still keep ramping up the rhetoric, providing echoes of what has been seen and heard in Michigan, at least in some measure. The new restriction on High School sports produced even more criticism. Their calls for freedom are not about freedom. They are about power. I doubt they would say anything if a Governor they favored was in office.
