EXCERPT:
Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) faced harsh criticism on Monday for comments at a recent event in which she said she would go after members of Trump’s inner circle to make young people afraid to work for the administration.
In response, Slotkin ran to CNN and MSNOW, doubled down on her position, and played the victim.
Curtis Houck of NewsBusters transcribed the video below:
“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.”
