Slotkin plays Call of Duty with young constituents: 'A lady zombie just killed me'

Sen. Elissa Slotkin is getting a zombie-filled Call of Duty education, playing the bestseller with a group of young gamers.

"One of the best parts of being a new senator is that I get lots of interesting invitations," the Michigan Democrat, who won her Senate bid in November, said in a Wednesday social media post.

"Last week, I got invited to learn how to play the new zombie maps on 'Call of Duty Black Ops 6' after a day of meeting in Port Huron," Slotkin said.

The 48-year-old former CIA analyst shared a video of her attempt to navigate the PC, PlayStation and Xbox shooter game.

Slotkin's gaming gurus helped school her on the ins and outs of the controller, which seemed to have undergone a modern upgrade since the last time she picked one up.

"Pac-Man did not have any of that," she said. 

"There used to be like two knobs, basically, and now there's like 85 different things," Slotkin said with a grin, before appearing to struggle in her virtual battle to defeat some of Call of Duty demons. 

"A lady zombie just killed me!" she exclaimed at one point. "A lady zombie in pigtails just took me out. Now I'm shooting my own leg."

"I just wonder how many times one person can get eaten," she told her gaming companions. 

But despite succumbing to the zombies, Slotkin indicated her Call of Duty effort was a success.

"That was amazing. I actually liked it a lot more than I thought I would," she said.

"Now I'm going to have a ton of street cred with my nephews," Slotkin said, "who were ashamed of me coming here and were like, 'You're going to embarrass us so bad.'"
