Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has condemned a move by Donald Trump to consider pardoning crazed extremists who plotted to kidnap her and “hog tie” her, the Daily Beast reports.

Said Whitmer: “I’m very disappointed that they are even considering it, frankly.”

She added: “When the president was shot at in Pennsylvania, I was one of the first people on either side of the aisle to condemn it. We have to condemn political violence, no matter who it comes from, no matter who it is aimed at. It does a disservice to everyone if we do anything short of that.”

The leopard(I mean chicken) will still ALWAYS eat your face.

I get that you are being an advocate for your constituents, but we are dealing with fascists. Not republicans.
