In a moment of unexpected candor that has both constituents and colleagues raising eyebrows, Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan has openly claimed she’s “no smarter than a teenager,” sources have confirmed.
The remark, made during a town hall meeting that quickly spiraled into a viral sensation, has sparked both concern and amusement across the political spectrum.
Slotkin, who was attempting to connect with the younger voters in her district, may have connected a bit too well, as her comment was met with both applause and snickers from the high school-aged audience. “I just want to be relatable,” Slotkin explained, seemingly unaware of the potential for her words to be taken as an accidental confession rather than a display of humility.
Critics have pounced on the statement, turning it into memes and late-night talk show fodder, while supporters argue that her self-deprecating humor is just what politics needs more of. Meanwhile, education advocates are using the incident to call for increased political literacy programs for both the electorate and elected officials.
As of press time, a group of teenagers in Slotkin’s district had formed a study group to help raise their collective IQs to congressional standards.
I agree,the younger generation is a lot smarter than I was at their age,but,how about common sense and life skills.Maybe some are too smart for their own good,or they think they are.My wife and I grew up at a time when you made due and you respected others and their property and possessions,it’s far from that now.The lessons learned come from the top of society and when they are corrupt what else ca you expect.We are both in our middle eighties.
The new party leader.
For her next term she will be even younger, perhaps eventually becoming a president that will again need a sippy-cup while waiting for the Easter Bunny to lead to her Ice Cream.
She’s just another idiot leftist.
