劳拉：若民主党掌控众议院，斯洛特金所暗示的惩罚将“极为严厉”
密歇根州民主党参议员埃莉萨·斯洛特金此前曾表示，她希望以起诉威胁来劝阻人们接受特朗普政府的职位，此番言论引发强烈反弹。福克斯新闻主持人劳拉·英格拉哈姆批评这位参议员在言论引发争议后试图“扮演受害者”。

【福克斯新闻独家报道】 密歇根州民主党参议员埃莉萨·斯洛特金正面临一项提交给美国参议院的道德投诉，起因是她本月早些时候发表的言论被许多人称为对考虑为特朗普政府工作的保守派人士的“威胁”。
在10月13日芝加哥大学的一场活动中，一段斯洛特金讲话的视频在网上疯传，引发了批评。视频中她表示，希望对“纵容”唐纳德·特朗普总统的人追究“标志性案件”，并向年轻人传递“威慑信息”。
“我希望刚毕业的年轻人会想：‘我应该去特朗普政府工作吗？这听起来挺有意思，说不定能得到一个机会。’我希望他们会觉得，‘天啊，那可能会给自己招来一堆不想惹的麻烦，还是别掺和了’，”她说道。“我希望传递出这样的威慑信息，”斯洛特金说。
斯洛特金如今正面临一份由最先报道其言论的芝加哥大学学生迈克尔·比克塞尔于周四提交的道德投诉。该投诉已提交给参议院道德特别委员会，指控斯洛特金提议利用国会调查和潜在的起诉来恐吓年轻人，使其不愿为共和党政府服务。

“近期在我校芝加哥大学的一场活动中，斯洛特金参议员阐述了一项立法监督议程，其中涉及利用法律程序恐吓特朗普政府官员，以此‘威慑’年轻人为其工作，”比克塞尔写道。
该投诉要求委员会认定斯洛特金的言论是否构成“可能损害参议院声誉的不当行为”。参议院《道德手册》中规定的这一标准适用于即使未违反具体法律或参议院规则，但可能存在不道德行为的情况。
“作为一名保守派大学生，听到这番话令人震惊，”比克塞尔在投诉中写道。“一位知名美国参议员来到我校，提出的目标是让我和我的同龄人都害怕在行政部门为国家服务。这远低于美国参议员应有的行为标准，值得参议院道德特别委员会展开调查，并采取相应的后续惩戒措施。”

比克塞尔指出，斯洛特金的言论针对的是考虑从事政府公职的学生，而非仅仅针对犯罪或行为不端的人。
“‘威慑信息’的实质显而易见，”比克塞尔写道。“她的目标是‘刚毕业的年轻人’（比如我和我的同学），也就是那些正在纠结是否‘去特朗普政府工作’的人。”
“显然，我们争论的并非如她后来试图澄清的那样，是否去犯罪或行为不端，”他继续说道。“那些犯罪的人应该为此受到惩罚，没人反对这一点。我们争论的只是纯粹的公职服务，而斯洛特金参议员却说我们应该三思而后行，因为这可能会引来美国参议院的全力打压。”
当被CNN问及如何回应其言论引发的争议时，斯洛特金称这场风波是“人为制造的愤怒”。

“我想，从我自己的共和党同僚和同行那里，包括国会山的实习生和参加我们活动的工作人员那里，都听到过类似的话：‘我很担心’，”斯洛特金补充道。“我的父母也很担心，你知道的，这真的很混乱。我不知道该参与什么事。总体而言，政治已经变得一团糟。”
据《华盛顿考察家报》周三报道，目前有人呼吁司法部就斯洛特金的言论对其展开调查。
福克斯新闻数字频道联系斯洛特金的通讯主任后，对方提供了参议员周二发表的一份声明。
“现在，先深呼吸一下，整件事都很荒谬。一位总统在椭圆形办公室利用我们的司法系统对付一个明显让他恼火的美国人。如果他能对我这样做，那他就能对任何人这样做，”斯洛特金说道。“他的支持者们利用一套协调一致的手段来威胁、恐吓和压制任何发声的人。这是为了转移人们对他失败的经济政策、高油价以及他发动的与伊朗的灾难性战争的注意力。但如果说我从过去一年中学到了什么，那就是必须奋起反击。”

Slotkin’s viral ‘threat’ to conservatives takes new twist as student moves to hold her accountable: ‘Shocking’

Michael Bicksell argues Slotkin’s ‘deterrence message’ aimed to frighten young conservatives away from government service

Laura: The punishment Slotkin alludes to will be ‘severe’ if Democrats take control of the House
Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., is facing backlash after saying she wants the threat of prosecution to discourage people from taking jobs in the Trump administration. Fox News host Laura Ingraham criticizes the senator for trying to ‘play the victim’ following her remarks.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX:Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) is facing an ethics complaint filed to the United States Senate over comments she made earlier this month that many characterized as a “threat” to conservatives who are thinking about working for the Trump administration.
During an Oct. 13 University of Chicago event, Slotkin drew criticism after a clip went viral showing her saying she wants to pursue “signature cases” against people who “enabled” President Donald Trump and push a “deterrence message” for young people.
“I want young people coming out of school to say, ‘Should I go work for the Trump administration? Like, that sounds fun, I might get an opportunity.’ I want them to be like, ‘Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want, and so let me avoid participating in that,’” she said. “I want that deterrence message sent,” Slotkin said.
Slotkin is now facing an ethics complaint filed Thursday by Michael Bicksel, a University of Chicago student who first reported her remarks. The complaint was submitted to the Senate Select Committee on Ethics and argues that Slotkin proposed using congressional investigations and potential prosecutions to frighten young people away from serving in a Republican administration.

“Recently at an event at my college, the University of Chicago, Senator Slotkin laid out a legislative-oversight agenda that involved using the legal process to terrorize members of the Trump administration in order to ‘deter’ young people from going to work for it,” Bicksel wrote.
The complaint asks the committee to determine whether Slotkin’s comments amounted to “improper conduct which may reflect upon the Senate,” a standard described in the Senate Ethics Manual as applying to conduct that may be unethical even if it does not violate a specific law or Senate rule.
“As a college student and a conservative, this was a shocking thing to hear,” Bicksel’s complaint reads. “A prominent U.S. Senator came to my college and laid out a goal that I and my peers should be afraid to serve our country in the executive branch. This is well below the standard of conduct expected of a U.S. Senator and deserves investigation by the Senate Select Committee on Ethics and appropriate subsequent disciplinary action.”

Bicksel argued that Slotkin’s comments were directed at students considering government service, rather than exclusively at people who commit crimes or engage in unethical conduct.
“The substance of the ‘deterrence message’ is clear as day,” Bicksel wrote. “Her target was ‘young people coming out of school’ (like me and my classmates) who are debating whether they should ‘go work for the Trump administration.’”
“We are obviously not debating—as she subsequently tried to clarify—whether to go commit crimes or behave unethically,” he continued. “Those who commit crimes should be punished for doing so. No one disagrees with that. All we are debating is public service, pure and simple, and Senator Slotkin says we should think twice about doing so because it might provoke the full power of the United States Senate.”
Slotkin, when pressed on the response to her comment on CNN, referred to the controversy as “manufactured outrage.”

“I think the thing that I’ve heard from my own Republican colleagues and peers, including interns and folks who work around the Hill who come to our events, they’ll tell you, ‘I was worried,” Slotkin added. “My parents were worried, you know. It’s really messy. I’m not sure what to get involved in.’ Politics, in general, has become messy.”
The Justice Department is currently facing calls to investigate Slotkin over her remarks, Washington Examiner reported on Wednesday.
Slotkin’s communication director pointed Fox News Digital to a statement made by the senator on Tuesday when reached for comment.
“Now, if you take a breath, this is all pretty crazy. A president from the Oval office is weaponizing our justice system against an American who clearly gets under his skin. And if he can do it to me, he can do it to anyone,” Slotkin said. “His supporters use a coordinated play to threaten, intimidate, and silence anyone who speaks up. It’s a play to distract us from his failed economy, high gas prices, and the disastrous war he started with Iran. But if I’ve learned one thing from this past year, it’s that you have to push back.”
