Sen. Elissa Slotkin tells NBC News that Capitol Police are now with her 24/7.

"We've had hundreds and hundreds, if not closer to 1000 threats come in to our phones, our emails" since Trump threatened her and other Democrats.

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.

1. Trump is such a creepy stochastic bastard

[Seinan Sensei]

18. "Stochastic"

Not a word I was familiar with BEFORE the ascendancy of Mango Mussolini

[democrank]

2. Imagine....This in the United States of America.

Fight this criminal administration!

[leftstreet]

3. What kind of weirdo sends threats to politicians?

Half of them are probably coming from Stephen Polyp-Head Miller

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

22. Good one...

... belongs on South Park! "Polyp-Head"!

[DFW]

31. The same kind of weirdo that thinks his loyal AG will carry them out at his behest.

But, then, what kind of weirdo would want to be his AG in the first place?

Of course, we're talking this kind of weirdo, so no one should be surprised:

[gab13by13]

4. Kash Patel can bring back a few FBI agents

from the border to track down these threats.

[FSogol]

5. Launch an impeachment resolution. n/t

[paleotn]

8. For anyone else, that would have been automatic.

[dalton99a]

6. Kick

[spanone]

7. The 'president' is our greatest enemy.

It's amazing that trmp lied about Illegal/legal and now every fucking republican is echoing his lie.
Saw Lindsey Graham do the same shit.
Fuck these republicons.

[Midnight Writer]

9. Waiting for an Executive Order forbidding the use of government funds to protect "traitors".

He would like nothing more than to see his critics murdered.

He probably got some tips from his Saudi friend on how to deal with dissent. Or his Russian pal. Or his North Korean buddy. Or his Chinese business partner.

[Martin68]

10. We live in dangerous times.

[Dr. T]

28. I think that's an Irish curse.

[twodogsbarking]

11. He is overthrowing the government and the Constitution. Thanks to Republicans.

[KS Toronado]

25. Project 2025 instructed Rs to do so.

We need more Judges to step up to the plate and hit his curve balls out of the park.

[spudspud]

12. Wonder if they can put a pre-answer voice message indicating all calls are recorded

and phone numbers tracked for security purposes. I can only imagine how many keyboard cowboys calling in to make a threat would hesitate and hang up before going through with the threat.

[multigraincracker]

16. We need to revamp our phone system.

Way too many spoofed calls. I get at least 10 a day. Charge $10 per altering caller id changes. If they are all coming from SE Asia, charge a dollar per call from that country.

[3catwoman3]

13. And if one of his drooling idiot followers were to act on his comment, he would claim...

...to know nothing about it.

[MissouriDem47]

33. He Would Also Claim

That he was not responsible for it.

[slightlv]

14. But Magas are so sweet and lovey, right? /s

And yet they scream WE are the violent ones. Projection is going to be a hard syndrome for them to recover from.

[GusBob]

15. I'm thinking this makes Trump very very happy

Its Jan 6th all over again

I'm also thinking Trump wants to threaten all democrats elected or not

I keep thinking: Stalin, Gulags

[multigraincracker]

17. Funny, he's the one that got shot in the ear.

[EYESORE 9001]

21. Ostensibly

Provided a convenient excuse to walk around with a maxi pad on his ear for a few days

[orangecrush]

19. It's his MO

Stochastic terrorism.

"Stochastic terrorism is the use of hostile and dehumanizing public rhetoric to incite violence, which happens at a statistically probable but unpredictable rate. Influential figures can use this method by demonizing a person or group, which creates a climate of fear that may lead an individual to commit a violent act, while the speaker remains insulated from legal responsibility because no explicit order was given."

[live love laugh]

20. She should be able to sue based on the timing of his remarks and the terror afterwards.

Coupled with the simultaneous threats to others that he named.

[wiggs]

23. When are we going to hear pundits, journalists, analysts, and more dems using phrases such as 'disturbed,'

'dis-ordered,' 'sociopath,' 'dangerous,' 'extremely un-presidential,' 'scary,' 'ignorant,' 'foolish and reckless,' 'abnormal,' toddler-esque,'...to describe TSF??

Instead we hear that his fevered posts and actions are mere distractions, tactics, trump being trump, weaponization, unitary president, strong-man, populist, abuse of power. Huge difference. They are ignoring the most important story of his administration.

[mjvpi]

24. It's a good thing that she didn't piss off Antifa.

The radical left is so much more violent.

[hadEnuf]

26. Trump should be charged with threatening members of congress.

What they said in no way, shape or form was treasonous to the country or even close. They quoted military law.

That fat, fascist lunatic f@ck need to start being held to account any way possible.

[Wednesdays]

27. ...

[liberalgunwilltravel]

29. He's more likely

To “handle” himself.

[orleans]

34. wow -- and it's dated 2019. six years ago. and this mindset never went away, never stopped nt

[Borogove]

30. The bully brigade - always ready at a moment's notice.

[Cha]

32. Fuck the Neo Nazi Traitor and his Death Squad.

Bravo to Sen Elissa Slotkin, Sen. Mark Kelly, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Chris Deluzio and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan.

[Emile]

35. Trump should be in jail.

[Fullduplexxx]

36. Anonymity in phone calls ought to be made illegal
