Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., is facing online backlash after saying she wants the threat of prosecution to make young people think twice before taking jobs in the Trump administration. During an Oct. 13 University of Chicago event focused on her political path and the future of the Democratic Party, Slotkin said she wants to pursue "signature cases" against people who "enabled" President Donald Trump.
"I want to look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president, but on the people who enabled him," the Michigan Democrat said. Slotkin went on to describe how she wants prospective administration employees to weigh the risks. "I want young people coming out of school to say, should I go work for the Trump administration? Like, that sounds fun, I might get an opportunity. I want them to be like, Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want, and so let me avoid participating in that," she said. "I want that deterrence message."
Law professor Jonathan Turley criticized the remarks on X, writing that Slotkin had "said the quiet part out loud." He argued that she wants to deter young people from supporting the administration. The remarks were made during a University of Chicago event focused on Slotkin’s political path and the future of the Democratic Party. A clip of the exchange circulated online, prompting critics to accuse her of trying to scare potential administration employees away from public service.
Lock young people up for wanting to work for Trump?!? Hmmm, that sounds awfully like fascism to me. Yet, should anyone be surprised? After all, Slotkin's comments meet the criteria of today's Democrat party: no room for compromise or working with the President, just use lawfare, cancel culture and scare tactics to punish and thwart away GOP voters and anyone who wishes to work with Republicans. Indeed, it's who they are and if the GOP doesn't make a commercial out of this with the midterms fast approaching they're idiots.
