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.

Speaker Mike Johnson defended Donald Trump’s declaration Thursday that some congressional Democrats engaged in “sedition” after the president suggested those Democrats should be executed Thursday. Johnson said it was the Democrats who were acting “wildly inappropriate” by suggesting that military members should disobey unlawful orders from Trump. By post “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH,” according to Johnson, Trump was simply “defining the crime of sedition.” “That is a factual statement,” Johnson said, adding attorneys would have to “parse” the language in the criminal act.
Johnson said he did not see the full scope of Trump’s comments and reposts, but he joined in Trump’s attacks on the six House and Senate Democrats who posted a video addressing military members. “For a senator like Mark Kelly or any member of the House or Senate to behave in that kind of talks is to me so just beyond the pale,” Johnson said, before telling reporters, “I’m not going to say anything more on it.”
In separate remarks, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer denounced Trump’s comments, saying the president “is lighting a match in a country soaked with political gasoline.” “Every senator, every representative, every American regardless of party should condemn this immediately and without qualification,” he said. “ Because if we don’t draw a line here, there is no line left to draw.” (Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
No defence for the Bolsheviks they are at the greatest danger point ever.
Just arrest them for sedition and conspiracy. They did this together, attempting to undermine the presidency of our USA without any discernible rationale.
All they’ve got is the President enforcing our immigration laws.
Today would be good. ;-)
