Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) told the rest of the world that Trump is exercising “authoritarianism” in the US and planning to steal the 2026 election if Americans don’t revolt while speaking at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.
During a panel discussion titled “Holding the Line: Defending Europe and Supporting Ukraine,” Slotkin warned that the US is “in a struggle for our democracy” because of Trump’s “authoritarianism.”
“I stand here as an American senator, feeling very concerned about the 2026 elections in November,” she said. “Just like in 2020, he said, if I don’t win, then it wasn’t a free and fair election, he is repeating the playbook, now threatening to put uniformed federal agents around polling locations.”
“So, the question is, what are we going to do as Americans to defend our democracy that we helped invent, okay? And that to me, that process that’s going on right now, which is playing out in front of all of you,” she added with a nod to the violent anti-ICE insurrection in Minnesota.
It can be recalled that Slotkin was involved in the attempted seditious coup against Trump last year, urging the military to defy his orders as he amped up pressure on designated foreign terrorist drug traffickers and Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro.
Slotkin and five other Democratic lawmakers, all with credentials in the military and intelligence apparatus, released a video message in November, telling active duty service members and intelligence officials that they have a “duty” to disobey “illegal” orders from President Trump.
However, Trump has not given any illegal orders. This was an attempt to sow doubt and interfere with military operations.
Slotkin, the former CIA agent in the conspiracy, lateradmittedthat Trump has not given a single illegal order to members of the military! Still, she threatened service members with thinly veiled warnings, comparing Trump to Adolf Hitler and suggesting they may face tribunals like the Nuremberg Trials. She further pointed to movies like “A Few Good Men” to intimidate military members into thinking twice before they follow this President.
President Trump has described their actions as “traitorous” and signaled that the “military courts” are looking into the crime.
However, a federal grand jury in DC last weekdeclinedto indict the six Democrats. A federal judge later rejected Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s bid to demote. Discipline Senator Mark Kelly, who was previouslycensuredand had his military retirement pay cut, the Gateway Punditreported.
