‘Moderate’ Elissa Slotkin pretends she’s a stickler for ‘defending democracy’ — but this is how the Bolshevik left play the game
NY Post ^ | 18 Oct. 2026 | Miranda Devine

Elissa Slotkin was elected to the Senate in 2024 as a supposed “moderate.”

But of course we know that, apart from Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, that species of Democratic politician doesn’t exist in Congress anymore.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long for Slotkin, a former CIA analyst who served under John Brennan, to show her true colors.

The Michigan senator told students at the University of Chicago last week how she plans to use the power that will come to Democrats if they win Senate control in the midterms next month.

She wants to unleash a barrage of political investigations on Trump officials in order to frighten young people away from taking jobs in the administration.

“The people around Donald Trump . . . have no immunity the way the president does . . . So you go after the people who do his bidding,” she told the audience during a live podcast recording Tuesday.

‘Signature cases’

“I want to look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president, but on the people who enabled him,” she continued.

“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.’

“I want that deterrence message.”

Slotkin pretends she is a stickler for “defending democracy.” But this is how the Bolshevik left who control today’s Democratic Party play the game, even as they cloak themselves in conservative disguises, as intelligence professionals, soldiers, astronauts or doctors.

Slotkin, who fancies herself as a future president, used that same term “signature cases” in a chilling speech to the Carnegie

I hope this motivates conservatives to get out and vote.

Slotkin is a sick and evil person and she must be destroyed along with the rest of her ilk.

In a way, I’m glad about this. If the Dems win, they will institute a barrage of investigations and may try to prosecute Trump administration officials if they can. It will just go to show how useless the Republican Congress is and has been in the past when Republicans control all branches of government. Totally Fing useless. They do nothing to prevent the Dems from seeking bloody vengeance when they get back in, which everyone knows they will. So the hysterical GOP fundraising and get out the vote emails go out to conservative supporters talking about all the horrible things that will happen if the Dems win. I am so over it. A bunch of incompetent fools do nothing and then try to scare their supporters into opening their wallets and voting for them again.

She outwardly threatened people who might serve in government because they are conservative.

These tactics are common for a subgroup of Socialists. That Subgroup, called Fascists, are happy to cozy up to big corporations and threaten their political opponents. Make no mistake, the founders of the Fascist, and patriarchs were all self proclaimed socialists. Those individuals quickly created autocratic governments, with no political opposition.

She should be identified for what she is; a Moderate Democrat by label. What she does is mirror the language, activities, and political game plan of all the Most Famous Socialists of the last Century: Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Pol Pot, and the other ‘they just didn’t do it right’ socialists.

What is the End-Game for Democrats like this? What is their utopia? Do they really believe destroying the country will help the world? Daily, I struggle to understand a rational direction they want to carry us in.

The goal is complete, unopposed power. Anything goes in acquiring and maintaining it. She wants it.

Look at what happens to those who takeover most governments(the revolutionaries)...they are the first to be taken out by the real leaders.

She reminds me of the monumentally obnoxious constant pain in the ass type of co worker we’ve all endured somewhere along the line.

Yes, but people like Slotkin aim to be that real leader. Do you know she speaks Arabic?

Slotkin is CIA. All CIA officers are required to take an oath that is identical to the oath taken by members of Congress. They are also required to take an Oath of Secrecy. The secrecy oath never expires, even after the officer has left the CIA (although some say you can never really leave the CIA, and this might be what they mean).

That oath is here:

She does. She also has the cold, dead eyes of a psychopath.

She was elected to the Senate in 2024. Not up for election again until 2030.

She isn’t up for re-election this year.

She’s supporting fellow “moderate” Abdul Al-Sayed in this year’s Senate election in her state.

Well what is the GOP waiting for? She is telling GOP what she is going to do. So why don't they pull their head out of their behind and believe her? Do unto her before she does unto you. Subpoena every Slotkin staffer. Every fund bundler. Every oppo researcher. Every speech writer. Surely there has to be some fast playing with money from ACT BLUE. Some strategy sessions with Socialist orgs. Process the heck out of all of them. Make them think twice about ever getting involved in Democratic politics. Fire with fire.
