One of the more interesting parts is when Susan Demas and the Governor discuss possible reasons for the media-at-large to characterize the right wing plot against Whitmer as a "kidnapping" instead of a "murder" attempt.

Some have a right wing agenda and want to soft-pedal this thing.
Whitmer supporters prefer "murder," and that's fine.
But the term we should be using is "assassination attempt," with all the ugly implications that go along with it.

A final point: the right wing propagandists who sought to downplay the assassination attempt and replace it with "Governor Whitmer is a dictator" succeeded.
