President Donald Trump's campaign and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer crossed verbal swords Sunday on national television and Twitter as Michigan's governor accused the president of inciting "domestic terrorism" and Trump's reelection campaign accused her of "encouraging assassination attempts" against the president.
In a Sunday morning interview on "Meet the Press," Whitmer criticized Trump's Saturday rally in Muskegon, where the crowd chanted "lock her up" against Whitmer roughly 10 days after state and federal officials said they foiled a kidnapping plot against the governor.
Whitmer implored the Republican president and other officials on Sunday to "bring the heat down" and accused Trump of "inspiring and incentivizing and inciting this kind of domestic terrorism."
Whitmer, a national campaign co-chair for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, made the comments with an "8645" emblem on a table beside her visible in the camera frame, an apparent anti-Trump message referring to "86ing," or getting rid of, the 45th president.
