Elissa Slotkin Regrets Missing Important Senate Vote But for SOME Reason Didn’t Provide the Reason – Twitchy

Democrat Sen. Elissa Slotkin appeared on the soon-to-be unplugged “Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on CBS yesterday, and in a way she helped make President Trump’s case about what the Deep State has been up to these past few years.
