Sen. Elissa Slotkin receives bomb threat after urging military to 'refuse illegal orders'

[Godboy]

‘Michigan State Police responded to a bomb threat at the home of Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., a spokesperson from her office said in a statement on Friday. The threat comes after President Donald Trump accused her and other Democratic lawmakers of "seditious behavior" that was "punishable by death."

In a statement posted to X, a spokesperson from Slotkin's office said that the senator "wasn’t home at the time" and that Michigan State Police "searched the property and confirmed that no one was in danger." Slotkin's office and Michigan State Police did not immediately respond to requests for further details on the incident.

The bomb threat comes after Slotkin, who previously worked at the CIA, and several other Democratic lawmakers, including those who are former service members, had posted a video this week urging military and intelligence officers to "refuse illegal orders" from the Trump administration.

Trump on Thursday had responded to the video by calling for the arrest of Slotkin and others for “seditious behavior,” which he said was “punishable by death.”’

It’s perfectly lawful and appropriate for the military to refuse Trump’s illegal orders.

And Trump represents the violent, lawless right well, calling for the death of his political opponents.

She should be arrested and thrown in prison. That ******* treasonous video is unforgivable. I dont give a shit that she is receiving threats. SHE actually deserves these threats.

Right wingers don't even know how to make bombs, just empty threats.

Muslims are right wingers

I saw the video from the members of Congress, and I saw Slotkin’s response after Trump called them “seditious” and said sedition is punishable by death.

Are you all really arguing that what they said is legally wrong—that while Trump can claim immunity, the people who follow his unlawful orders somehow share that immunity too? Because that’s simply not how it works.

If someone chooses to carry out an illegal order, they are on the hook. “I was just following orders” is not a magic get-out-of-jail-free card when you know, or should know, that what you’re doing is unlawful.

They’re not committing sedition by saying that. They’re warning people not to throw away their lives and freedom on crimes someone else is telling them to commit.

This need to defend everything he does, no matter how wrong, ignorant, baseless, or flat-out absurd, is beyond tiresome.

What illegal orders have been issued?

She deserves it.What is her definition of an illegal order? She may stop short of openly telling the troops to shoot Trump but that's her wish by saying this.

My congressman had to evacuate 2 of his offices because of bomb threats.

I'll blink when leftists condemn the threat against the Supreme Court justices by Schumer.

Murder cult? It was your crazy cult members with the bomb threat...idiot.

Nah this was false flag by one of here own staffers to try and deflect from the criminal investigation into her seditious behavior

 

[wamose]

Wasn't tRump one of the ones screeching about "violent rhetoric" after that MAGA-spawn took out Kirk?

I bet she called that bomb threat in herself. Democrat seditionists are total scumbags.

This is why people call you fascist.

And this lady’s comments are why people call many Democrats traitors.

That’s why we call people like that delusional.

No, just logical, though I probably should have referred to her and those that agree with her as seditionists, not traitors. Some of us are intelligent enough to understand the intent of this lawmaker’s statement. If military personnel followed through, it would sew discord. You know this. Don’t play stupid.

The fact is they said not to follow illegal orders.

You may feel that this means something different.

Facts don’t care about your feelings.

What illegal orders? They never said what they were. The message is clear dont obey the president. Keep illegals in the country at all costs even life

 

[Marener]

They said don’t obey illegal orders.

Your brain is warped by Trump to believe whatever Trump tells you to believe.

But then when called out admitted there is no illegal orders

She could have just as well come out and said follow lawful orders. She didn’t because we know the intent and what she was implying. You know it too, but your politics won’t let you admit it.

What was the point of making such a “no duh” statement out of nowhere?

Should do an infinite number of things, but that doesn’t change the fact that she said not to follow illegal orders.

You don’t “know” any such thing. You’re just making it up because you feel like it.

You ignore the obvious to suit your political agenda. Typical.

It’s only “obvious” to delusional MAGAs.

There’s absolutely nothing more than an argument from incredulity, which sums up the vast majority of stupid shit you say on this forum.

There’s never a rational. It’s just “because I said so and you’re stupid for not agreeing with me”.

So what she said was completely pointless and the meaning wasn’t obvious to anyone? If she had just out of the blue said “Hey, make sure you avoid actions that dishonor the service”, people would be looking for context. Yeah, we know that is one of our codes of conduct, but why bring it up now? Same thing here and you know it. The context of her statement was well known.
