Democratic Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin was secretly caught dressing down her own hand-picked moderator for not asking questions about abortion in an Oct. 6 debate, to the point that the local reporter was reduced to apologizing to the representative.
Slotkin, who is running against Republican state Sen. Tom Barrett, cornered Tim Skubick of WLNS after their debate to remind him that she “chose” him to host the forum. A recording of the encounter, obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller, provides a window into the Democratic Party’s desire to frame the midterm elections as a referendum on abortion. One of the most vulnerable incumbent Democrats, Slotkin, and her campaign personally selected Skubick to moderate the debate, according to a document obtained by the Daily Caller.
Although Slotkin and Barrett discussed abortion at length during a Sept. 25 debate, Slotkin criticized Skubick for not pressing the Republican on his views, flatly telling him, “you’re better than that.” Slotkin twice voted for the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would legalize abortion up to the moment of birth and eliminate conscience protections for doctors and nurses who oppose the procedure. In contrast, Barrett introduced legislation in the Michigan state Senate in 2019 banning dismemberment abortions. He has promised “to protect life from conception.”
“This media market has never seen us debate. Ever. Not once. Not one minute,” Slotkin tells Skubick in the recording. WLNS serves the Lansing area, while WDIV, which hosted the first debate, serves Detroit and its suburbs. Skubick can be heard multiple times appealing to Slotkin to engage “respectfully.” Even so, Skubick finally tells Slotkin, “I owe you an apology.”

Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin again demonstrates that the Demonicrats are the party of lies, murder, and treason.
We’ve reached the point where the Dem selected media is too inept to remember why they were selected. This is good.
Democrat Politician to Press: “You work for me! Remember that!”
Another of the former CIA employees in Congress.
I went to school with Tim Skubick, he’s second rate. Not surprised to read this.
Tim Skubic has been reporting on politics in Lansing for as I can remember. He is very fair; asking tough questions of Ds and Rs, and is one of the last of the old school reporters. He will be around longer than Slotkin.
She is mad because she could not bully him into promoting her talking points.
Tim Skubick is a long time lefty. Long Time.
Never heard of the ditz. She must be a real “Karen”.

The abortion issue is an easy issue for ALL pro-life people. The pro-aborts believe in the taking of the un-born human life up to and including the NINTH month! They believe in unrestricted access to taking the life WITHOUT exception. The majority of Americans are repulsed by this taking of life of fully formed humans from their mother’s wombs. They lose when you put your beliefs up against theirs. The “partial birth abortion” debate is where the issue turned on the abortionists.
Slotkin is another former CIA employee in Congress. It would be sweet to defeat her.
Our local paper got this “evaluation” of all candidates positions. As a biased leftist piece of crap, basically everybody, including the dog catcher, was asked about abortion only. At least that what they published.
Seems like this is the only positive for Democrats?!
It is soo shameful that Democrats are campaigning on nothing but killing of the babies!
> Another of the former CIA employees in Congress.
“former” … lots of those suddenly emerging in 2018.
Women’s Health Protection Act = Child Murdering Protection Act!
So, her complaint is that the MODERATOR didn’t do enough to give her a chance to really show-up her opponent on one specific topic?!?
And the MODERATOR thinks he should apologize for not doing EXACTLY what the Democrat nominee is demanding?!?
If you do not know our ENEMEDIA is corrupt and biased, this little tidbit still won’t convince you...because you are being willfully ignorant! TRUTH will not solve that!
