During an interview on SiriusXM’s The Dan Abrams Show Thursday, Abrams cornered Blanche about Trump’s demand that Slotkin be investigated by the Department of Justice over comments she made at the University of Chicago last week. Slotkin said at the time that she wanted to send a message of “deterrence” to young people who might consider working for the Trump administration.
In a post on Truth Social shortly after, Trump claimed that Slotkin was “saying that she is going to go after all young people that believe in Republican Values, and that give even the slightest inclination to be a Republican.”
But in the radio interview Thursday, Blanche couldn’t explain what crime Slotkin had supposedly committed. “Whether that’s a smart thing to say or not a smart thing to say, how is that even potentially criminal?” Abrams asked.
“However, if leadership in the Senate are working together to try to stop young people from going to work in the administration by basically threatening them, saying you should be worried that you’re going to be open to investigations,” Blanche said. “That is totally wrong, and again, there’s no evidence that people are threatening young people, right? And again, maybe not criminal, but we should be worried if that’s happening.”
“The difference between something being okay and being criminal is huge, right?” Abrams added. Blanche nodded silently.
“Her comments alone are absolutely not a crime. There is no criminal investigation here, and I’ve never said that there is,” Blanche eventually admitted.
Let’s hope this lesson sticks. Earlier this week, Blanche claimed that it was his role to defend the Trump administration from the “vile rhetoric” of Democratic lawmakers. Following sweeping Democratic victories in the midterms, lawmakers have warned the Trump administration to “lawyer up,” and clearly, its lawyer has responded by threatening free speech.
