CNN’s Jake Tapper cues up Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin to attack “this guy”
@mrddmia over his comments calling her out for trying to intimidate young conservatives and Trump supporters from government service...
“I mean, first of all, it’s not — it’s not a veiled threat, right? I mean, threatening the Second Amendment is threatening for someone to get shot. And I think there’s been plenty of people, Democrat, and Republican, independents, who would say, like, can we just not threaten violence against each other for our words? He’s certainly precipitated a whole wave of threats against myself. But my staff, including doxing my staff, and this is part of a sort of strategy of intimidation that these people use. And, you know, this is someone who Donald Trump thought of as a potential attorney general and then luckily thought better of it. But I just think that this is kind of part and parcel of this toxic culture of threatening violence because you disagree with someone. The President threatened to have me, you know — investigated, arrested, and hanged for sedition, and followed through with the investigation, and near-arrest part. And this guy’s just threatening violence. And it is — again, I imagine what kids think about when they’re just scrolling Twitter — my nieces and nephews — and they see someone threaten violence because of words. It’s just — it shows you how toxic these people have become online.”
