Though a group of men who were arrested Thursday for plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer are widely being portrayed as Trump-supporting Republicans, the evidence suggests at least two of them are anti-Trump, anti-police anarchists.
The evidence includes video footage of one of the suspects describing President Donald Trump as a “tyrant” and “enemy.” Yet the only “Republicans” who view the president in such a light are Never Trump “Republicans” like Nicolle Wallace.
“United States Attorney Andrew Birge announced today that six men have been arrested and charged federally with conspiring to kidnap the Governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer,” the FBI announced in a press release Thursday.
The release went on to identify the suspects as Adam Fox, Barry Croft, Ty Garbin, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta.
One of the suspects, Brandon Caserta, reportedly had a YouTube account full of videos featuring him trashing the president, the police and the government.
Robby Starbuck, a Cuban-American music video producer known for his conservative commentary, spotted some of these videos and shared them to his Twitter feed before YouTube reportedly disabled Caserta’s account.
The suspect can be seen in the videos (*Language warning) …
Trashing the president:
Wow! This is big. Brandon Caserta, one of the ringleaders of the group of men arrested for a plot where the group planned to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, hated President Trump too!
“Trump is not your friend dude”
He says Trump is “a tyrant” & calls President Trump an “enemy”. pic.twitter.com/T5paEeTkiJ

Why did it take me to pull all these videos to give people access to the truth about the ideology these guys have? It says a lot about the state of journalism that a director/producer had to dig these clips up because we all know we can’t trust mainstream news to do their job.

Democrats and the media say President @realDonaldTrump inspired these idiots who plotted to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. They’re lying. As this key member of the plot makes very clear, he hated Trump too. They’re government and police hating anarchists. Don’t fall for the lies!

Trashing the police:
This is a video of Brandon Caserta, one of the ringleaders of the group of men arrested for a plot where the group planned to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Caserta has an anarchist flag behind him and in YouTube videos trashes police. He’s not a Republican, he’s an anarchist. pic.twitter.com/J1vE2qGYL7

Trashing the Declaration of Independence:
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

Trashing voting:
“By you participating in the government, you’re participating in slavery dude for everyone else.”
He says voting for anyone “is admitting that you believe in the legitimacy of authority which means you believe in the legitimacy of slavery.”

These are not the viewpoints of a Republican …
On Thursday, at least two additional Michigan men were reportedly also arrested but by state authorities in Michigan, not federal officials.
“Joseph Morrison and Pete Musico are founding members of the Wolverine Watchmen. Joseph Morrison is considered Wolverine Watchmen’s ‘Commander’ and is known by the online moniker ‘Boogaloo Bunyan,'” the Michigan State Police announced.
According to the statement, the two had worked “together” with Caserta’s crew “in planning and training for various acts of violence, including kidnapping politicians and storming the Michigan Capitol Building in Lansing.”
While Morrison and Musico are also being portrayed as “right-wingers,” again video evidence has emerged suggesting they lean toward anarchism, not conservatism.
Watch:
I was able to get video of one more of the men arrested in the plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. This guy, Pete Musico, says “driving is a right” for people in the intercity and generally attacks boomers for not caring about young people. These guys have a STRANGE ideology. pic.twitter.com/2ZJwprRYRD

I was able to get video of another men arrested in the plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. This guy, Pete Musico, says races shouldn’t be fighting each other, we’re all the same, government is the real enemy and he attacks police just like Brandon Caserta. Similar ideology. pic.twitter.com/eRQ77p4NMl

Regardless of which ideology these men align with, the fact remains that they’re now behind bars in part because of actions taken by the Trump administration.
Yet despite this fact, Whitmer responded to the men’s arrests by trashing the president.
Watch:
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI): “Just last week, the President of the United States stood before the American people and refused to condemn white supremacists … hate groups heard the president’s words, not as a rebuke, but as a rallying cry.” pic.twitter.com/AJI3cPsYOy

The remarks were so brazen and disrespectful that they provoke the president into launching into a three-tweet rebuttal.
Look:
Governor Whitmer of Michigan has done a terrible job. She locked down her state for everyone, except her husband’s boating activities. The Federal Government provided tremendous help to the Great People of Michigan. My Justice Department and Federal Law Enforcement announced…
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 9, 2020
…today that they foiled a dangerous plot against the Governor of Michigan. Rather than say thank you, she calls me a White Supremacist—while Biden and Democrats refuse to condemn Antifa, Anarchists, Looters and Mobs that burn down Democrat run cities…
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 9, 2020
…I do not tolerate ANY extreme violence. Defending ALL Americans, even those who oppose and attack me, is what I will always do as your President! Governor Whitmer—open up your state, open up your schools, and open up your churches!
