She’s still lying. Slotkin’s implicit threat to young people was obvious to everyone. Odious.
Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin: “Over the last few days, I have been the target of attacks from Republicans and right-wing media because I dared to talk about the corruption coming out of the White House. If the president wants to arrest me, then do it.”

When Republicans disagree with the political opposition, we take our arguments to the hearts and minds of the American people. When members of the radical left disagree with their political opponents, they often threaten, harass, and persecute them. Tragically, the recent statement from U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin is not an outlier or a misstatement. Rather, it embodies what we have seen and experienced from the radical left - especially over the past decade. This rhetoric, and the will to make it a frightening reality, flies in the face of how our country's founders established our constitutional republic—the shining city on a hill. These threats and subsequent actions must end. Our nation cannot stand with one party resorting to such tactics. For the sake and future of our great country, let's agree to disagree, remembering that we are all Americans who want what's best for our children and grandchildren.

Agree
I agree with my friend @KenCuccinelli - we all must call on @ElissaSlotkin to resign now. She has violated, and will continue to violate, her Oath of Office - she cannot be permitted to target individuals or threaten them with lawfare, or vow to violate the protections of the Constitution...she must resign now...

Had you said just that, I suspect you would not be seeing the outrage. In fact, though, you actually said: "“I want young people coming out of school to say, ‘Should I go work for the Trump administration?’ 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.' I want that deterrence message.”
This isn't my first rodeo with President Trump. After calling for me to be arrested, tried, and hanged for a 90 second video he didn't like, he is now attacking me for saying that there will be accountability for people who commit crimes on his behalf. It's simple. If you break the law, then you should be held accountable. If you are stealing taxpayer money and enriching President Trump or his family, then you should be held accountable.

Slotkin has the politician’s disease of being vastly more impressed with herself than her actual intelligence and likability merit.
Elissa Slotkin claims that the only reason that she's being attacked for threatening lawfare against young conservatives for serving in the Trump administration is because she's a woman. 🙄

When I took my oath of office, I swore to represent not just Republicans, but ALL the hardworking Michiganders in the 20th Senate District. That means ensuring Michigan’s children have the support and opportunities they need to become informed, engaged citizens. Yet as young people continue to leave Michigan, Sen. Elissa Slotkin is talking about “deterrence messaging” to discourage young Americans from pursuing the causes they believe in. Our state and country are already deeply divided. Is this really the message we want to send our kids: that civic participation should be met with threats of political retaliation? As Senate Republican Leader, I will always stand up for young Michiganders, their opportunities, and their right to participate in our republic without fear. We should be encouraging the next generation to engage in civic life, not making them afraid to do so.
Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin says she hopes that persecuting conservatives will prevent young people from getting involved in politics. Threatening young Americans with scare tactics is beyond shameful and disgusting.

🔥CHILLING! @LarryOConnor rips Democrat Sen. Elissa Slotkin for admitting she wants criminal investigations of Trump’s people so young Americans get SCARED off from working in his administration. Slotkin at the University of Chicago: “I want them to be like, Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want.” Larry has seen this before. After 2016, Trump staffers got dragged through the Mueller probe and had to pay their own lawyers just to answer questions: “I know people who went nearly bankrupt, having to pay for their own lawyers to protect themselves when they just went to testify.” “And that’s exactly what she’s saying right now, out loud, for all the world to hear.” “And she wants to destroy their lives, lest the next round of 23, 24, 25 year olds have that damn little idea that they might want to come and participate in the Trump administration.”

Elissa Slotkin should be arrested for what she said. These are the kinds of things we have to do to communists in order to stop this from escalating. Crush this before it gets worse.

lol… she thinks video doesn’t exist.
PANTS ON FIRE: Democrat Elissa Slotkin says @BasedMikeLee is engaged in “his specialty” of “manufactured outrage,” arguing she has not and will never call for mass prosecutions of Trump or MAGA staffers in the federal government, but they would be WISE to disobey what the President asks them to do.... “Well, look, that’s manufactured outrage. That’s his specialty. I think the — the thing that I’ve heard from my own Republican colleagues and peers, including like interns and folks who work around the Hill who come to our events, they’ll tell you, like I, you know, I was worried. My parents were worried. You know, it’s really messy. I’m not sure what to get involved in. Politics in general has become messy. But, you know, when you’re being forced by this administration, for instance, to sign a contract that is given over to a company that Trump Jr. is on the board of, and you know that that’s a problem. Like, my point is, do not get yourself involved in illegal activity. It’s the same thing I was talking about a year ago. Whether you’re the uniformed military or a civilian in government, if you’re being asked to do something by the President or his team that’s illegal, you have a responsibility to reject that. That is my point, and that was the point I was trying to make.”

“Slotkin Attack” - noun 1 : the act of attacking young people with words or deeds to punish them because you hate Trump 2 : how Senator Elissa Slotkin ended her career. E.g. - “That McGillicuddy girl, she deserves a Slotkin Attack - she worked for the EPA under Trump.”

Elissa Slotkin is a traitor!
CASA has filed a SENATE ETHICS COMPLAINT against Sen. Elissa Slotkin after she publicly called for deterring young Americans from working in the Trump administration. Slotkin said she wanted prospective staffers to fear they could be “buying myself a ton of problems” by taking a job and made clear: “I want that deterrence message sent.” CASA is calling on the Senate Ethics Committee to investigate whether those remarks crossed the line from political criticism into INTIMIDATION of Americans seeking public service.

For starters, because you are publicly echoing Stalin and threatening people with prosecution and imprisonment for exercising their constitutional rights if you and your party take control of our government? How the hell did you get elected?  Or qualify for a desk job at the CIA?
Why are Trump and his allies attacking me? I touched a nerve because I talked about corruption. The average person understands that the president is enriching himself and using taxpayer dollars to do it. It triggers them when you bring that up.

Your friend wants to prosecute people for being Republicans. She’s not the victim here. She’s a fascist piece of trash.
My family knows firsthand the consequences of political violence. If we are still a country of laws, then the FBI director should have a couple of agents visit Mike Davis and ask him some questions.

You are an elected official. You made a public statement encouraging members of the Armed Forces to defy lawful orders. You chose to run for office and subject yourself to that scrutiny. What you are proposing, on the other hand, is a legal/political vendetta against persons for no reason other than they have political positions different than yours. Your goal is to drive them away from public service. That's a Stanlist/Maoist approach to political opposition -- your clearly stated desire is to create a one-party state where political opposition is not just to be rebutted, but to be imprisoned. You're a disgrace -- and I suspect your comments will haunt the rest of your political career. You've likely put a ceiling on any ability you might have had to climb higher.
This isn't my first rodeo with President Trump.

Thanks to Elissa Slotkin, yesterday was the biggest donation day in the history of the Counterlawfare Institute. The best part is that is that every single donation came from a small donor. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to everyone who contributed. We will, of course, be thanking each donor individually, but I wanted to express my gratitude publicly as well. And if a few big donors would like to join in, we certainly wouldn't complain! Americans immediately understood the significance of this moment and what is at stake. I have also received a number of invitations to appear on local and national radio and television to discuss our work and spread the word. We should probably thank Senator Slotkin for that as well. To everyone who has supported us, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Take a moment to appreciate that this entire "Elissa Slotkin gone mad with power" news cycle is thanks to @ThinkerChicago, cofounded by the wonderful @evitaduffy_1. Support patriotic student publications, they’re essential - the last line of resistance against campus leftists.
