GOP rival quips about kidnapping plot against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
TROY, Mich. — Republican candidate for governor Tudor Dixon joked during a Friday campaign event about the 2020 kidnapping plot against Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a remark that quickly drew criticism.
Dixon's reference to the kidnapping plot came as she was targeting Whitmer's handling of schools and businesses, arguing that some large companies have shifted jobs to other states that might have come or stayed in Michigan.
