Senator Slotkin’s Michigan home targeted by bomb threat

Sen. Elissa Slotkin’s Michigan home was the target of a bomb threat just days after she appeared in a video asking troops to defy “unlawful” orders.

A spokesperson for the Michigan Democratic Party released a statement Friday evening saying, “This evening, Michigan State Police responded to Senator Slotkin’s home in response to a bomb threat. »

“The senator was not at home at the time. MSP searched the property and confirmed that no one was in danger,” the statement continued.

“Senator Slotkin is deeply grateful for the quick and professional response of Oakland County and the Michigan State Police,” the statement also said. “The United States Capitol Police will continue to investigate and hopefully hold those responsible accountable.”

The video, posted Tuesday by Slotkin, angered Republicans as well as the Trump administration.

Democrats in the video include Slotkin, Sen. Mark KellyD-Ariz. Reps. Chris Deluzio, D-Pa., Maggie Goodlander, D-N.H., Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa., and Jason Crow, D-Colo. All of the lawmakers in the video highlighted their former service in the military and intelligence community.

Slotkin and his colleagues have spent the past few weeks introducing legislation aimed at limiting Trump’s ability to deploy National Guard members to the country or launch military action against suspected narcoterrorists without congressional approval.

None of that context appears in the video, titled “Don’t Abandon Ship,” which instead presents the call as a warning to the military to “defend our laws” and “refuse illegal orders.”

“This is called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Every one of these traitors to our country should be arrested and tried,” Trump wrote Thursday on Truth Social. “Their words cannot be kept: we will no longer have a country!!! We must set an example.”
