(WXYZ) —
A "Make America Great Again!" rally scheduled in Michigan for Tuesday has been canceled, according to the business.
Eric Trump was scheduled to host the event at Huron Valley Guns in New Hudson. However, after it was uncovered that one of the suspects involved in a plot to kidnap Gov. Whitmer once worked at the shop, the Trump Administration opted to change venues.
"With much regret I must announce that the Trump Campaign changed venues within the last hour," read the Facebook post on Huron Valley Guns.
Although the business doesn't name the former worker, the post said that the person worked at the gun shop back in February, and was only there for three weeks before he was fired.
