     Democratic candidate Joseph Biden said that US President Donald Trump is inciting extremists such as those who planned to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan.

     Biden said, in a statement posted on his website: "When Governor Whitmire was protecting the people of her state from the deadly epidemic, President Trump called for the liberation of Michigan."

     Biden accused his opponent, again, of "tolerating intolerance and hatred that covered the whole country."

     Trump has previously repeatedly criticized the governor of Michigan, and threatened to stop federal funding for this state if her government does not stop trying to organize a vote in the next US election by mail due to the spread of the Corona virus.

     Earlier, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation said it had foiled a plot to kidnap and oust Democratic Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer.

     Whitmire became a target for skeptics about the existence of the new Corona virus, after strict measures were imposed that a judge canceled last week.
