President Trump tweets about Gov. Whitmer, Joe Biden responds with tweet
WASHINGTON D.C - President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Thursday evening going after Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer regarding her statements she made during a news conference on Thursday.
Trump tweeted:
Governor Whitmer of Michigan has done a terrible job. She locked down her state for everyone, except her husband’s boating activities. The Federal Government provided tremendous help to the Great People of Michigan. My Justice Department and Federal Law Enforcement announced.....today that they foiled a dangerous plot against the Governor of Michigan. Rather than say thank you, she calls me a White Supremacist—while Biden and Democrats refuse to condemn Antifa, Anarchists, Looters and Mobs that burn down Democrat run cities......I do not tolerate ANY extreme violence. Defending ALL Americans, even those who oppose and attack me, is what I will always do as your President! Governor Whitmer—open up your state, open up your schools, and open up your churches!
Michigan Schools and churches are now open, despite what the President said in his Tweet.
