to be on their show to reach a younger audience and then did this? I don't think enough politicians realize how dead serious and non-negotiable Gaza is for many voters. I don't get it. Who is advising these guys? She did herself no favors, all she did was open herself to scrutiny when she wasn't on most people's radar before.

In an interview on Tuesday, Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D) touted her supposed opposition to Israel’s humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza — but dodged questions on whether or not she would support withholding weapons from Israel, and deflected blame onto pro-Palestine protesters in the U.S. for Israel’s starvation campaign.
Speaking on online news show “Breaking Points,” Slotkin contradicted herself numerous times while speaking about Gaza, saying that she condemns the humanitarian catastrophe while still refusing to support withdrawing U.S. aid to Israel. When asked, she pointed to common pro-Israel talking points — and swept aside the hosts’ questions on her pro-Israel voting record.
While speaking on the issue of Palestinian rights in relation to Zohran Mamdani’s New York City mayoral campaign, Slotkin called Gaza an issue that only the “online world” cares about intensely. Then, to defend her own record, she pointed to a letter sent on Tuesday criticizing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Meanwhile, last year, Slotkin voted for a bill to send $26 billion in unconditional assistance to Israel; a bill to define any criticism of Israel as “antisemitism”; and even a bill that would ban the State Department from citing the death toll in Gaza — a toll that would reflect the effects of the humanitarian crisis she claims to oppose.
