US Senator Elissa Slotkin has been assigned a 24/7 Capitol Police security detail following President Donald Trump's violent rhetoric against her and other Democratic lawmakers. Trump's threats came after Slotkin and five other Democrats, including Senator Mark Kelly, created a video urging military personnel to resist unlawful orders. The video, which sparked hundreds of threats against Slotkin, argued that the Trump administration is creating a divide between military professionals and US citizens. Trump responded with a series of posts on his Truth Social platform, labeling the Democrats' actions as 'seditious behavior' and calling for their arrest and trial. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democratic leaders have condemned Trump's remarks as 'deadly serious' and 'dangerous death threats.' Schumer has requested additional security for Slotkin and Senator Kelly, citing Trump's language as a potential threat to their safety. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt has denied that Trump desires the execution of Congress members, but the incident highlights the escalating tensions between the two parties. The incident has sparked outrage among Democrats, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Minority Whip Katherine Clark, and Democratic caucus chair Pete Aguilar issuing a joint statement condemning Trump's 'disgusting and dangerous death threats.' The situation underscores the increasingly polarized nature of US politics and the need for leaders to promote unity and respect.
