We’re finding out more about the plot by a Michigan militia to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
The group charged in the plot also considered targeting Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, according to the F.B.I. Governors Northam and Whitmer, both Democrats, were targeted allegedly because of their aggressive lockdown measures regarding the spread of COVID-19, the F.B.I said.
But the threat posed by these groups isn’t just limited to these plots.
Where do we draw the line between calling these groups militias and domestic terrorists? And who are the people that join them?
