Trump labeled her a ‘traitor.’ Now this Democrat says she’s getting 24/7 security
Slotkin, a former CIA analyst, said Capitol Police ramped up her security following Trump’s posts during an appearance on MS NOW, formerly MSNBC, on Thursday.
“Capitol Police came to us and said, ‘We’re going to put you on 24/7 security.’ We’ve got law enforcement out in front of my house. It changes things immediately, and leadership climate is set from the top. And if the President is saying you should be hanged, then we shouldn’t be surprised when folks on the ground are going to follow suit and say even worse,” Slotkin said on “All In with Chris Hayes.”
She said Trump’s posts “fundamentally changed our security situation,” but emphasized that she is not afraid to continue speaking out.
“He is trying to use fear as a weapon. He’s trying to distract us from whatever. He doesn’t want to talk about the Epstein files or whatever else, but he’s also trying to intimidate people out of criticizing him. That’s the entire game here,” Slotkin said.
“And then he’s trying to intimidate people in his party to keep quiet even when he does things that violate our norms,” she added.
