LARRY KUDLOW: No leading Dems have condemned Senator Elissa Slotkin’s Bolshevik weaponization of Republicans

Senator Elissa Slotkin is drawing fierce criticism from Republicans over comments at the University of Chicago last week about holding people accountable for their roles in Donald Trump's presidency. Commentator Larry Kudlow argues that no prominent Democrat has pushed back, and that the objections have come only from Republican officials and right-leaning commentators, according to Fox Business.

Slotkin said she wants scrutiny of major cases to reach beyond the president to those who helped him, so that graduates weigh the risks before taking administration jobs. Kudlow contends this amounts to political harassment aimed at young Schedule C appointees, and notes that Slotkin is not proposing actual legal charges. New York Post columnist Miranda Devine likened the approach to Bolshevism.

Senator Mike Lee was among those who objected. Slotkin answered on X by dismissing the "pearl-clutching" from Republican lawmakers and online MAGA grifters who, Slotkin said, had applauded Trump's own use of government against opponents. Ben Domenech of the Daily Wire proposed that Trump pardon every Schedule C appointee before leaving office, an idea Kudlow called elegant.
