When "The View" host Joy Behar asked the Michigan Democrat if she was referring to Trump, Slotkin clarified her remarks.
"No, I'm talking about our country," Slotkin replied. "We're a pendulum swinging. I don't think there is an American that thinks this is normal."
Conservatives slammed Slotkin on social media, interpreting her comments as an insult to Trump voters.
"Ah yes, we've reached the point post-election loss where Democrats just revert to calling Americans stupid for voting against them," Abigail Jackson, communications director for Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., posted on social platform X. "Not a single ounce of self-awareness to be found."
