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.

Or it could mean something else:
Trump team accuses Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of encouraging assassination of president weeks before election
"The silly season is officially here. It's pretty clear nobody in the Trump campaign has ever worked a food service job," a spokesperson for Whitmer told Newsweek on Sunday. "Here's the bottom line: the president is not only a super spreader of COVID-19, he is also a super spreader of hate and fear. His divisive rhetoric needs to stop, and we need a president who will bring Americans together to defeat COVID-19."

Whitmer blamed the president for any sort of restriction fatigue that may be occurring, arguing it was his fault COVID-19 took the toll it did in the United States.
She's either dishonest or delusional. She gave the executive orders that angered so many people in Michigan, she overstepped her authority in giving those orders which the courts overturned, and she's blaming people's anger at her orders (which she earlier took credit for) on Trump. What a terrible governor.

Did you know that the same day, someone edited the Wikipedia page for "86" to remove the reference "killing someone" from the list of different meanings and labelled the edit, "fix typo".

Also, Mirriam Webster changed their entry in the online dictionary for "sexual preference" from simply linking to "sexual orientation" to describing it as an offensive term, the day after Hawaiian senator Mazie Hirono claimed Justice Amy Coney Barrett's use of the term was offensive.
