United States attorneys in Michigan charged six far Left ANTIFA-style radicals on Thursday with an alleged plot to kidnap Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and overthrow the state’s government.
The fake news media got all excited for a minute today, they police caught the suspects in the alleged kidnap plot of Democratic governor Gretchen Whitmer, and for a shining and solo second they thought the suspects were Trump supporters. Yep, right up to the moment that photos and videos of some of the suspects proudly displaying the Anarchist flag that accompanied nearly all riots and public gathers of ANITFA. Oopsies.
Yeah, those bad boys are a part of a militia group but guess what? There are plenty of far Left militia groups, ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter just to name a few. Naturally, after finding out that the alleged kidnappers are connected with the Left, complete with the anarchist flag of ANTIFA, all stories the fake news media was planning when they thought they were Trump supporters have now disappeared. Imagine that.

ANTIFA MEMBER WITH ANARCHIST FLAG ON THE LEFT, AND GRETCHEN WHITMER KIDNAP SUSPECT WITH ANARCHIST FLAG IN BUBBLE ON THE RIGHT, ANY QUESTIONS?
Suspect Charged in Gretchen Whitmer Kidnap Plot Had Anarchist Flag, Hates Police
FROM BREITBART NEWS: The feds have charged Adam Fox, Barry Croft, Ty Garbin, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris, and Brandon Caserta, the Detroit News reported. Twelve individuals were charged in all.
Via the News:
The investigation dates to early 2020 when the FBI learned through social media that individuals were discussing the violent overthrow of several state governments and law enforcement.
In June, Croft, Fox and 13 others from multiple states held a meeting in Dublin, Ohio, near Columbus, according to the government.
“Several members talked about murdering ‘tyrants’ or ‘taking’ a sitting governor,” an FBI agent wrote in an affidavit unsealed on Thursday. “The group decided they needed to increase their numbers and encouraged each other to talk to their neighbors and spread their message.”
“The group talked about creating a society that followed the U.S. Bill of Rights and where they could be self-sufficient,” the FBI agent wrote, according to the paper.
“They discussed different ways of achieving this goal from peaceful endeavors to violent actions. At one point, several members talked about state governments they believed were violating the U.S. Constitution, including the government of Michigan and Governor Gretchen Whitmer.”
Several media outlets, including the New York Times and the UK Daily Mail have attempted to cast the individuals as “right-wing” and “Trump supporters,” but at least one suspect, Brandon Caserta, held views more nuanced than that.
Breitbart News reviewed Caserta’s Facebook profile shortly before it was deleted. In several YouTube videos, Caserta opined about rights and the illegitimacy of government.
“The Constitution is illegitimate,” he said in one posted on May 16, 2020, which was removed after Caserta’s account was terminated. “Authority doesn’t exist, dude,” Caserta said, seated in front of an anarchist flag, “and, like, the law doesn’t exist.”
In another video, Caserta walked around his apartment with a camera and wondered, “How do I really know if I suck?”
Other videos, including some Breitbart News reviewed on Caserta’s Facebook page prior to deletion, the suspect criticized the police, calling them “obedient order-followers.”
One video was captured by Twitter user Robby Starbuck:
More on the ideology of one of the men who was busted by the FBI for a plot to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer. In this video he poses in front of an anarchist flag to tell people that the Declaration of Independence is an anarchist document. Brandon Caserta is an anarchist. pic.twitter.com/7PgQkYrNIQ

In none of the videos did Caserta express support for Trump explicitly or otherwise. They have all been removed from YouTube. According to the charging document, Garbin, Fox, Croft, Harris, Franks, and others met in July in Ohio to discuss their plot.
“The attendees discussed attacking a Michigan State Police facility, and in a separate conversation after the meeting, GARBIN suggested shooting up the Governor’s vacation home, which is located in the Western District of Michigan” in Antrim County.
