Duggan won't say if Trump's execution threats go too far

[demmiblue]

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan had an opportunity this weekend to say whether he thinks President Donald Trump’s threats of jailing and executing political opponents has gone too far.

He passed.

Appearing on WXYZ’s Spotlight on the News over the weekend, Duggan, who is running for governor as an independent, was asked about Trump accusing Democratic lawmakers, including U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, of “seditious behavior.” Trump suggested their actions could be “punishable by DEATH” after they released a video reminding military members they can refuse illegal orders.

Instead of answering, Duggan dodged the question, as he often has when asked about Trump’s dangerous behavior and policies.

“I’ve stayed out of these national debates,” Duggan said. “I’m not going to get involved in the national debate.”

2. I won't be voting for him. If he can't or won't answer a simple question like that...

but then again, I wasn't going to vote for him anyway. There are too many other candidates I like better.

I vote for Democrats, not Republicans and not Independents.
