President Donald Trump on Thursday blasted Democrat "traitors" who urged military members to disobey certain orders, saying the lawmakers "should be arrested and put on trial."
Trump's remarks came in a fiery Truth Social post, responding to a controversial video released by six Democrat members of Congress...
Trump called their message "seditious behavior at the highest level" and warned that allowing their statements to stand unchallenged would undermine the stability of the nation.
"It's called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL," Trump wrote Thursday morning. "Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL.
"Their words cannot be allowed to stand — We won't have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET."
Trump added: "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!"
The highlighted video featured Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich.; and Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., along with Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo.; Rep. Maggie Goodlander, D-N.H.; Rep. Chris Deluzio, D-Pa.; and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa.
The group repeatedly urged troops to "refuse illegal orders" but declined to specify what such orders might be.
In the video, Slotkin, Kelly, and Deluzio repeat the line, "You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders."
The lawmakers accused Trump of "pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens," with threats to the Constitution as coming "from right here at home."
Crow, a former Army Ranger, also cited Democrats' fears Trump might send troops to polling stations — a claim the president has repeatedly denied.
Republicans sharply condemned the video, arguing that the lawmakers were encouraging insubordination within the ranks and undermining the chain of command.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., said it was "inconceivable" for elected officials to tell uniformed personnel to defy orders from their commander in chief, the Washington Examiner reported.

Let the Trials Begin!
I’m with you on this one.
PJDT couldn’t be more correct!
Dems: “Refuse Illegal Orders.”
Military: “Of course. That’s why we don’t take orders from you.”
How about...
ALL Americans: If you know that ROGUE Judges are issuing immoral and wrong judgements that damage this nation, or its citizenry, IGNORE THEM.
Same logic.
More than that!! Demonicrats are lying, perverted, murdering traitors, who should be put on trial, convicted, and sentenced to publicly have a short drop and quick stop.
“refuse illegal orders”
These Dem scumbags are urging military members to put their own well being on the line. If you refuse an order, you had better be beyond darn sure it’s illegal.
When I heard about this BS, my first reaction was to wonder why that Dem slime wasn’t arrested. Nothing short of that will address the situation.
It’s not just the seditious aspect that matters here.
It’s a warning shot to service members and enforcement agents that when the dems get in charge, they are going to start the lawfare against them, just like they do with Trump and his administration.
These folks are no different than the people who spat on Viet Nam vets.
These dumbsters want each of the 2 million+ members of the armed forces to decide which orders they should follow and which orders they should ignore?
I Agree, Club Gitmo for all of them
This is the opening round of the democrats attempting to mainsteam sedition. If it succeeds and they skate, expect an avalanche of the same thing. Next after that is ignoring all orders from the Trump administration.
We have passed the point where we can ever allow that to happen again.
The Democrats have been absolutely clear about what they intend to do if they come into power again, and the Biden administration is a recent enough worked example.
"Lawfare" won't work against Democrats because they ignore laws when they are inconvenient for them.
Fully Agree!
Fully Agree!
It’s pretty typical democrat stuff. They’re saying “We’ve got ours. We retired and now receive generous benefits and perks, not to mention cushy federal congressional sinecures. So why don’t you all jeopardize your futures as we suggest.
It’s especially callous when you realize none of these worms would have had the courage to do the same when they were serving.

We couldn’t law fare him out of existence, so maybe fomenting a military coup might work.
What they may be missing is the tremendous support for Trump in the military.
-20:45 into the WH press secretary’s briefing, Karoline Leavet hears the MSM go ballistic over the remarks made by Commander In Chief against seditious video to US troops.
Venomous presser.
Thanks, Rita!
