SLOTKIN STUMPED! Senator Admits She’s ‘Not Aware’ of Any ‘Illegal’ Orders From Trump to Military [WATCH]

Another performative Dem forced to concede…

Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin spoke with ABC’s This Week host Martha Raddatz over the weekend and was forced to admit that, despite her viral video suggesting the contrary, President Trump has not issued any illegal orders to the military.

“Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders?” Raddatz asked.

“To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that are illegal, but certainly there are some legal gymnastics that are going on with these Caribbean strikes and everything related to Venezuela,” Slotkin responded.

Raddatz pushed for specifics on Slotkin’s accusations and concerns.

“When you look at these videos coming out of places like Chicago, it makes me incredibly nervous that we are about to see people in law enforcement, people in uniform, military get nervous, get stressed, shoot at American civilians,” Slotkin said.

“It is a very, very stressful situation for these law enforcement [officers] and for the communities on the ground. So it was basically a warning to say if you are asked to do something, particularly against American citizens, you have the ability to go to your [Judge Advocate General] JAG officer and push back,” the lawmaker added.

Raddatz followed up, noting that the original video “does imply that the president is having illegal orders, which you have not seen.”

“I think for us, it was just a statement widely, right?” Slotkin said. “We say very quickly and to all the folks who come to us, this is the process. Go to your JAG officer, ask them for an explanation for top cover for their view on things. We do that on a case-by-case basis, but we wanted to speak directly to the volumes of people who came to us on this.”

In the original video, Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), and Reps. Jason Crow (D-CO), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), Chris Deluzio (D-PA), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) said that “threats to our Constitution” are coming “from right here at home.” They repeatedly urge military and intelligence personnel to “refuse illegal orders.”
