This is Tom. He’s a bus driver from #MI08, and he spent 12 hours handpainting this sign to show support for @RepSlotkin at her town hall today 
A group from Michigan Trump Republicans, many of whom are wearing matching red shirts in line to get into Slotkin’s town hall, didn’t know Slotkin had already come out for impeachment when they showed up today
There was “no crime - there’s nothing wrong to begin with,” said Bill, a 68-year-old from West Bloomfield.
“She’s just signed her death warrant,” he said of Slotkin and her decision to back impeachment

Slotkin is now getting to impeachment. Tells crowd she came out in support of it in a Detroit Free Press op-ed this morning. About 3/4 of the room stands -- some shouting and some cheering...
The "Hey ho, Elissa Slotkin's got to go" cheers are becoming louder and louder now, and it's getting hard to hear her
Slotkin, overcoming cheers of "four more years": "Ok, I'm just going to continue, because I've got the mic."
"I did what I’ve been trained to do as a CIA officer," Slotkin says, describing how she reviewed the evidence and the articles of impeachment
Slotkin, who's worked under Bush & Obama, served 3 tours in Iraq, and she's used her nat'l security background to explain her rationale on impeachment.
But I've heard from multiple people here who are angry with her & don't think the CIA is service on par with military service

(Many of these people also think the intelligence community has conspired against Trump).
They're now shouting "DEEP STATE," as Slotkin says Trump could have gone to FBI if he had concerns about Hunter Biden

In the back of Slotkin's town hall, far away from the stage, there's a fierce shouting match underway between a Trump supporter and someone carrying a sign that says, "end white supremacy"
