Ms Slotkin, journalists, not to say later on, they had been harassed by the Democrats - But they spoke with people on both sides and not felt it had to make under no pressure, your decision.

"of course, there were protesters in the back corner," She Said after The Event . "But from my point of view, there was a room of people with different opinions. There were people sat in The Middle of Trump's hats, which is clearly not of a mind to carry with me. But they were listening to. They were not to scream.
