Elissa Slotkin Has Received Hundreds of Threats Over Trump

"He reposted a number of messages, including one suggesting the lawmakers should be hanged. As you can imagine, we've gotten hundreds and hundreds, if not closer to a thousand, tough threats and messages and had to get Capitol Police security, Slotkin told Parnas. The lawmaker has revealed that she's received 24/7 security since Trump's posts. Even if you don't agree with someone, you really shouldn't be threatening them with execution, she said."

"Slotkin said she became concerned after a September executive order asking the DOJ to prioritize domestic terror organizations. The president wants you to come up with a domestic list and to us the full weight of the federal government to go after them, she said. Again, we should be absolutely vigilant that the intelligence community, both the staff and the tools we have should never be used against American citizens."

Rep. Elissa Slotkin reported receiving hundreds, possibly nearly a thousand, violent threats after President Trump accused Democratic lawmakers of treason and reposted messages calling for execution. The targeted lawmakers, many with military or intelligence backgrounds, urged service members to refuse illegal orders and warned the president was pitting the military against citizens. Slotkin said Capitol Police provided 24/7 security following the threats. She also raised concerns about a September executive order directing the DOJ to prioritize domestic terror organizations and warned that intelligence community staff and tools should never be used against American citizens.
