Right-leaning outlets report that Michigan Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin said she wants young people and college graduates weighing jobs in the Trump administration to fear legal trouble, so they conclude the work is not worth it. The Daily Wire says the first-term senator made the comments in an interview with host Astead Herndon, describing a post-midterm plan that relies on Democrat-led investigations to send a deterrence message. Fox News says the remarks prompted strong online backlash. An alternative outlet, ZeroHedge, carried commentary by Jonathan Turley describing her as unusually candid about wanting prosecutions of Trump administration officials.
At the time of writing, left-leaning outlets had not reported this story, while alternative/independent and right-leaning outlets had. Those covering it focus on Slotkin's stated aim of discouraging young people from administration service. Fox News highlights the online reaction and the Daily Wire the post-midterm strategy. The Turley piece places her remarks within a wider claim that Democrats have moved far left, citing calls to pack the Supreme Court, impeachments and investigations of Republicans. The excerpts do not include a response from Slotkin or details on what happens next.
