Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., lit into President Donald Trump on Tuesday night, suggesting that President Ronald Reagan — whose “peace through strength” mantra Trump has adopted — would be appalled by his approach to Russia’s war against Ukraine.
“After the spectacle that just took place in the Oval Office last week, Reagan must be rolling in his grave,” Slotkin, referring to Trump’s unexpectedly contentious meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week, said in her response to the joint address to Congress.
“As a Cold War kid, I’m thankful it was Reagan and not Trump in office in the 1980s,” she added. “Trump would have lost us the Cold War.”
Slotkin, who addressed the nation from Wyandotte, Michigan, framed her speech as a pitch for “responsible” governing over “reckless” leadership, arguing that Trump’s agenda could spell economic doom for the country.
“If he’s not careful,” she said, “he c

My apologies. Michigan produced another Lefist, insane female.
We tolerated the first couple of minutes until she derailed.
Doncha love it when leftists want to “demsplain” Ronald Reagan and adopt him for their own?
Its tasteless
her speech was disjointed, as if she didn’t listen and/or comprehend what Trump said.
amazing to me that she could keep a straight face through the entirety of that leftist diatribe. “THIS IS NOT NORMAL” is a apt description of the modern left but they are too enraptured by their OWN rhetoric to see it. thankfully. never interupt the enemy while they are making a mistake. PLEASE don’t interupt them.
Her father would most likely disagree.
Reagan would be doing much of what Trump is doing if he had ever got to work with a GOP controlled US House. Reagan did the best he could but he still had to start with what budgets the Democrat controlled US House sent him.
He had nothing in common with you Miz Slotkin. He dumped your foul political party.
Same here - her opening wasn’t too bad, but then the fangs came out & the venom was flowing.
To use the phrase the Left constantly throws at conservatives.
SWEETIE-—SLOW YOUR ROLL.
YOU WERE BORN IN 1976.
REAGAN WAS PRESIDENT 1980 - 1988.
WHEN HE LEFT OFFICE-—YOU WERE ABOUT 12 YEARS OLD.
YOU HAVE NO USEFUL MEMORY OF REAGAN-—AND IF HE WERE STILL ALIVE-—I TRIPLE GUARANTEE YOU THAT HE WOULD BE 1000% BEHIND TRUMP’S WORD’S & ACTIONS.
GET AN EDUCATION ABOUT SOMETHING BEFORE YOU RUN YOUR LIPS!!!!
“Senator, I served with Ronald Reagan, I knew Ronald Reagan, Ronald Reagan was a friend of mine. Senator, you are no Ronald Reagan.”
She probably canned it before the speech. Only read it.
Exactly. Some of us are old enough and still remember the malicious and slanderous treatment of Reagan by the Left.
Miss Slutkin - You reference a time 40 years ago. Long before the Democrat party went completely INSANE. If any President is rolling in his grave it is JFK. He would search in vain for the Democrat party he once knew.
was about to post that. He would vomit to see his Party run by Marxists.
Ronald Reagan is break dancing in his grave he’s that happy...
There is no doubt in my mind that if Reagan were alive he would be a MAGA enthusiast.
