You probably saw this earlier in the week. If you didn’t, it’s worth seeing.
Sen. Slotkin: “[The SAVE America Act] would make it hard for any Democrat in any state to win any election.” pic.twitter.com/fm2oJ0AKVg

Elissa Slotkin, the junior senator from Michigan who seems to lead the league in making statements that indicate she isn’t as smart as she thinks she is, actually said that if the SAVE America Act is passed, which would clean voter rolls and prevent foreigners from voting, it would “rig” America’s elections such that Democrats wouldn’t be able to win anywhere in the country. (RELATED: Afflicted With TDS, Four Senators Kill Election Integrity)
This statement is absurd on some levels, but it’s also quite noteworthy on some others, in a holy-cow-did-you-just-say-the-quiet-part-out-loud? sort of way.
The most glaring absurdity in the statement is this idea that Democrats wouldn’t be able to win anywhere if the SAVE America Act were to pass. She could say something like Democrats would never be able to win a national election again, and that could well be true. In fact, we’ll get to that down the page. She could say they’d be finished trying to win a presidential election, which could also be true, but might end up true regardless, based on what Democrats are doing to themselves.
Instead, she chose demagoguery of a sort so far down the rabbit hole that it’s worth examining as an exposition of where we are with respect to political dialogue in this country.
Slotkin would now have you believe that, were the bill to pass, Detroit, Chicago, and New Orleans would suddenly turn red.
Or that California, Vermont, and Hawaii would turn red.
Nobody believes any of that is about to happen. Elissa Slotkin doesn’t believe it, and nobody in her audience believes it. But everybody goes along with what she says in this clip, because it is now a rhetorical sacrament among Democrats and the Left to say things which are plainly, performatively untrue in pursuit of some sort of advantage.
For example, the entire Democrat Party is now invested in the notion that Donald Trump is a pedophile. Every one of them knows this isn’t true, and they also know that they’re on entirely shaky ground because their party’s record makes them the ones treating pedophiles in the kindliest possible manner.
Not to mention you really don’t want to talk about Trump’s alleged misbehaviors along this line when you supported Joe Biden, whose daughter’s diary was more or less a smoking gun on the question if the nonstop parade of video clips of him creeping on other people’s children was not.
And what brought this on was a pushback from Trump on full disclosure of the Epstein files, which was probably regrettable but also likely necessary for a number of unpalatable reasons.
But in any event, there is no indication that Trump was an Epstein client or ally, and in fact, the evidence points to the opposite. On the other hand, the vast majority of known Epstein associates were Democrats.
As lies go, that one isn’t even particularly useful. It’s a self-own.
Which brings us back to Elissa Slotkin.
She’s trying to demagogue the SAVE America Act, and in the process, she tells a truth most of the country believes — and she does it during a week likely to end with a showing by the president about the integrity of American elections — or lack thereof — which certainly tipped the balance of power illegitimately toward her party.
Everything that has come out of Georgia and other states, including Slotkin’s Michigan, regarding the 2020 election has to make an objective observer less confident in the structural fortitude of our electoral system. And all of the flaws within that system are things Democrats have demanded, and Democrats have weaponized.
And Trump will speak on Thursday about this issue.
Something big is coming on election fraud.

DEVELOPING: Bombshells coming Thurs from declassified materials…major hostile foreign election interference (non-Russian) was uncovered in 2020 election BUT the U.S. IC covered it up. Former FBI Director Christopher Wray, et. al., not gonna look good…developing…🇨🇳#DeepState pic.twitter.com/R7ukGdSDgu

DEVELOPING: Here’s whiff of coming evidence: FBI Sentinel case entry Sept 2020: “China’s trying to influence the election in favor of Biden” not just thru TikTok but plot to create fraudulent mail-in ballots for Biden. Then-FBI chief Wray failed to run to ground in threat coverup

So here’s what we’re learning from all these declassified materials: The US Intelligence Community *juiced* intel to make it seem like Moscow interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump, but then *buried* intel indicating Beijing interfered in the election to help Biden in 2020

BREAKING: I’m told forthcoming declassified docs will prove foreign penetration of 2020 election was deeper than anything the Russians were alleged to have done in 2016. Included hacking into state voter rolls. ID and ballot fraud. Yet Wray FBI +IC certified election was “secure”
— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) July 15, 2026
BREAKING: Docs also will reveal Biden admin cooked a 2021 Intelligence Community Assessment to make it appear pro-Trump Russia had still been election interference threat in 2020 when in fact real threat from a pro-Biden nation.ICA used as “red herring” to throw public off scent.

Against that backdrop, Sen. Slotkin, you want to caterwaul about legislation that would require clean voter rolls, voter ID, and proof of citizenship before voting? And claim that were such highly-popular commonsense measures to become law, it would kneecap your party’s electability?
The old joke is that the Democrats are far better than Republicans when it comes to standards. They have twice as many, after all. (RELATED: The Abysmal Quality of the GOP Senate Caucus Is the Real Issue, and the SAVE Act Mess Has Made That Clear)
And Elissa Slotkin is good proof of this.
She and her supporters insist she be given the benefit of the doubt, in that when she hyperbolizes about the damage a SAVE America Act “rigging” elections in favor of live U.S. citizens at the expense of the foreign and the dead might do, she can’t be seen to be confessing to voter fraud on a grand scale. But at the same time, every quote by the political opposition that can be twisted to mean something hateful, patently untrue, or insane must be made so.
And this became tiresome a very long time ago.
It’s of a piece with the utterly obnoxious Ro Khanna, who, in an effort to change the subject of his thoroughly self-disqualifying advocacy of the accused rapist Graham “Totes Totenkopf” Platner, went to Israel last week and attempted to invade a reserved military zone without permission. When Khanna was intercepted and denied access to the area, he made a “Do you know who I am?” spectacle of himself — because using the Israelis as foils and villains is the way to earn absolution in modern Democrat politics.
And the rest of us see these shenanigans, coming as they do from a party that demonstrates in place after place where they’ve achieved political power that what results from the successful application of these political reindeer games is dysfunction and misery on a mass scale, as evidence that they can’t be trusted with anything.
This will continue. Maybe it should. The longer it does, the more people might get the message. But this doesn’t lessen the irritation of having to listen to the shrill, inartful dishonesty of a hack like Elissa Slotkin.
