Democrat Michigan Representative Elissa Slotkin made a bold claim that if former President Donald Trump is reelected, he would “hand the keys over” to Russian President Vladimir Putin. This highlights the persistence of the false narrative among Democrat officials regarding Russia colluding with the Trump campaign in the 2016 presidential election.
However, Special Counsel John Durham of the Justice Department concluded that there was no evidence of Russian meddling in the election, and it also denounced the FBI for initiating a comprehensive inquiry on the basis of “raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence.”
On his Truth Social platform, Trump reiterated his assertion that the report revealed the “crime of the century” and he labeled the Russia probe as a disproven “Democrat Hoax.” However, Democrat politicians like Slotkin or California Rep. Adam Schiff, have still doubled down and maintained that Trump colluded with Russia even though there is no proof to their claims.
If Trump is re-elected for president in November, Slotkin (D-Mich.) stated that Ukraine’s fate in its war with Russia would be sealed, and that Putin would most likely continue dominating.
On Friday, Slotkin, 47, made the statement on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“And I don’t know why anyone would say [Putin would be] done after he’s gone into Ukraine,” Slotkin stated. “I do think he’s hedging and wanting to see if Donald Trump wins the election. My sense is Donald Trump would hand the keys over to Putin. Why fight when you can just get the keys from a new American president?”
According to Slotkin, the objective of this year is to give Ukrainians the right to self-defense “until we get through this election.”
The Michigan Representative added that if the former president wins, Putin will be “thrilled” and “looking to negotiate over Ukraine as soon as possible” with Trump.
In addition, Slotkin criticized Republicans who have refused to provide aid to Ukraine.
A $95 billion foreign aid package was approved by the Senate on Tuesday, but the supplemental is unlikely to pass the GOP-controlled House.
“And it’s hard to explain sometimes, right, I admit that,” Slotkin declared. “Why is it important for us to be engaged in a place like Ukraine? But you either pay now by providing arms to the Ukrainians, or you’re going to pay 10 times more in not just treasure, but also blood if he goes into North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). So, it just highlights all of it this week.”

Has the assertion of Russian collusion in the 2016 presidential election been thoroughly investigated and debunked?
Funding for Ukraine was removed, leaving Democrats frustrated with the lack of support for the country in its conflict with Russia.
It is important to note that these claims made by Slotkin are unfounded and lack evidence. The idea that Trump would willingly hand over the keys to Putin if re-elected is purely speculative and serves as a political tactic to discredit the former president.
The assertion that Russia colluded with the Trump campaign in the 2016 presidential election has been thoroughly investigated and debunked. Special Counsel John Durham’s conclusions and the denouncement of the FBI’s actions in initiating an inquiry based on uncorroborated intelligence further solidify the fact that there was no Russian meddling in the election.
Despite the lack of evidence, Democrat politicians like Slotkin and Adam Schiff continue to perpetuate the narrative of Trump’s collusion with Russia. This persistence in promoting baseless claims only serves to divide the country further and undermine the democratic process.
Slotkin’s statement regarding Ukraine and its fate if Trump is re-elected is alarmist and lacks any substantial reasoning. While it is essential to support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, linking its future solely to the outcome of the U.S. election is an oversimplification of a complex geopolitical situation.
Moreover, Slotkin’s criticism of Republicans who have been hesitant to provide aid to Ukraine fails to acknowledge the concerns raised by these individuals. Questions about the effectiveness of such aid, the allocation of funds, and the potential for corrupt practices within Ukraine must be addressed before blindly approving foreign aid packages.
In conclusion, Democrat Michigan Representative Elissa Slotkin’s claim that Trump would hand the keys over to Putin if re-elected is baseless and lacks evidence. The persistence of the false narrative regarding Russian collusion in the 2016 election among Democrat officials only serves to further divide the country. It is essential to base political statements and actions on verified facts rather than speculation and political agendas.
