Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin has urged President Donald Trump to moderate his rhetoric after he accused her and five other Democratic lawmakers of treason, suggesting they should be imprisoned or sentenced to death. Slotkin, a former CIA analyst, stated that she will not be intimidated and emphasized that her office has received a significant number of death threats. In a video, Slotkin and her colleagues urged military personnel to refuse illegal orders, asserting that threats to the Constitution come from within the country as well. Trump reacted on social media, calling the video dangerous and suggesting severe sanctions. Reactions in Washington have been mixed, with Democrats condemning calls for violence, while Republicans accused Democrats of undermining the president's authority. Slotkin mentioned that she has received constant protection from Capitol police, highlighting fundamental changes in her security situation.
