That is not complicity.
Complicity means he knows these morons and was involved in their plans.
Got evidence of that?
"Liberate Michigan" does not mean "go kidnap the governor".
These assholes are up on kidnapping charges.
They are not charged with being right wing assholes.
So far - that is still legal.
Case law in America, has many times convicted people of inciting violence even if they were not directly involved. Winking at people knowing they will act on what you say has been punished in law. Plenty of KKK and Neo Nazi leaders back in the 70s/80s were either arrested and or sued for inciting violence. Trump doesn't have to personally know those 13 men, he is in a position of power and people listen and act on his words.
