After federal authorities recently arrested a group of radicals accused of planning to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Republican legislators have readily joined in condemning any action of the sort.
Michigan Sen. Kim LaSata (R-Bainbridge Township) recently issued a statement on the MiSenateGOP website condemning any violence or plans for violence, regardless of politics or affiliation, and expressing gratitude for the work of law enforcement in thwarting such serious threats.
“I am grateful for our law enforcement, who took swift action to stop this terrible plot and who serve every day to keep our communities safe,” LaSata said, according to MiSenateGOP.

LaSata sent her prayers to Whitmer and her family during this unfortunate situation.
“Anyone who professes to believe in the Constitution of the United States knows that all citizens are guaranteed a right to life and liberty, regardless of race, religion, creed or political ideology,” LaSata told MiSenateGOP. “To threaten to take away those rights, especially through physical violence, is to fundamentally stand against that which is God-given and which we as Americans hold dear.”
