Slotkin's viral 'threat' to conservatives takes new twist as student moves to hold her accountable: 'Shocking'

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) is facing an ethics complaint filed to the United States Senate over comments she made earlier this month that many characterized as a "threat" to conservatives who are thinking about working for the Trump administration.

During an Oct. 13 University of Chicago event, Slotkin drew criticism after a clip went viral showing her saying she wants to pursue "signature cases" against people who "enabled" President Donald Trump and push a "deterrence message" for young people.

"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 sent," Slotkin said.

Slotkin is now facing an ethics complaint filed Thursday by Michael Bicksel, a University of Chicago student who first reported her remarks. The complaint was submitted to the Senate Select Committee on Ethics and argues that Slotkin proposed using congressional investigations and potential prosecutions to frighten young people away from serving in a Republican administration.

Anyone who still supports the Democrats has an evil and criminal heart, mind and soul.

They all know that the Democrat party is criminal and evil.

There is no more excuse of “Dad was a Democrat.”

Seditious Slotkin is dog whistling to all the deranged demons out there to eliminate Trump supporters by any means available. She plans on doing it through the political and judicial process. This female dog is dangerous. There are many unstable individuals in Michigan who support her.

She merely said out loud what their Junta actually did to Trump’s team during their 2020 coup.
