During an interview with MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace, Dem Rep Elissa Slotkin responded to the question of whether she and her staff feel safe after the “do not obey illegal orders” video:“Yeah. I mean, even just coming to this interview, I’ve got 24/7 security, you know, which no one likes to have, that the Capitol Police is providing. We had a bomb threat at my home. We had a suspicious package the next day. My family has been targeted. So they’ve got law enforcement help. And our local law enforcement have been incredible in helping, supporting our family. But I think, I just — I think most Americans believe that we shouldn’t be threatening death to someone because we disagree with them. And when it comes from the Commander-in-Chief, when it comes from the President of the United States, we shouldn’t be surprised when hundreds, if not thousands at this point of threats come in saying what he said, that we should be hung and worse. And I just don’t think this represents who we are as a country. I don’t think anyone really wants our politics to be handled this way, and I would never wish this on someone, even if I disagreed vociferously with their political position. I would never wish violence on someone else. So, I just — look, it’s an unfortunate part of this job. For me, you know, I signed up for this, my family and my staff did not.”Source: MSNBC/Grabien
