Dem Rep. Deluzio: People Haven’t Decided on Iran, That’s ‘Core’ of Disobeying Orders Video
Breitbart News ^ | 12 Mar 2026 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 03/12/2026 9:35:11 AM PDT by Pete Dovgan

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA) said that “the core of that message”

Host Jen Psaki asked, “[Y]ou took part in a video message to members of the military…kind of reminding them that they can refuse to obey illegal orders. As you’re watching what is happening now, how does that message apply to what you think the men and women who are being asked to serve — people from the best military in the world are being asked to serve for a war that this administration really hasn’t explained, how does it apply to Iran?”

Deluzio answered, “Look, I think at the core of that message is one about the Constitution. That is the thing that is the oath we take, it’s to the Constitution. It is at the core of military service, at the core of our government. And I see this president foolishly and recklessly putting us into a war, but also without coming to Congress. We had a war powers resolution vote that failed. I think that was a grave mistake by the representatives and senators who didn’t vote to put a stop to this. It is the American people who decide whether we send our troops to fight. The American people haven’t decided. And I’ve seen lots of polling. I’m sure you’ve seen it and talked about it, Jen, most Americans don’t want this war. They don’t support it. And that is exceedingly rare to see the start of a war, already, with the American people opposed. That’s not typically what happens. We don’t send our troops in without the country backing the fight. And the American people don’t want this war. ”

War powers act says he's got 60 days. The attack occurred (AGAIN) by Iran (name one) but in my mind when they tried to kill a Presidential Candidate on US soil.

Up until the 60 days are up, for a Congressperson to undermine the POTUS and the military by telling people to disobey orders (and they are legal at this point) is SEDITION. He should be arrested and tried by an impartial jury. Since George Soros and the Democrats have been Jury tampering, I am recommending a random Jury in the midwest/flyover region.

You gotta hand it to the democrats. They are extremely disciplined when it comes to sticking to the talking points. Their loyalty to their revolution to turn the USA into a third world s hole like Cuba (with them in charge in perpetuity of course) is unwavering.

The GOPe needs to take lessons.

“That is the thing that is the oath we take, it’s to the Constitution. “

Ok... Now about this whole Second Amendment thing...

You cannot hate Democrats enough.

Following logic in this matter, we have the right to not comply with any law enacted by congress that we find in our (individual view) to be flawed.

Yes?

Trump is trying to make the Middle East an ally. Rearranging world order.

Iran said ha ha you didn't get all our nuclear capacity. We have 10 or 11 more and we are going to use them on you.
People were protesting. The government was in one room. You don't have time to go to Congress.

USA has always used carrots. Minor sticks. Trump doing something different may fail. But everything prior has not worked.

Iraq now, is on no one's mind. Hasn't been in a while.

“kind of reminding them”

Weasel words.

Democrat politicians lie with impunity. It’s the same old saw that Solzhenitsyn quoted:

“We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.”

Is easy to stick to talking points when the media agrees to them without question.

This would never work for the GOP because the press aggressively scrutinizes every thing they say.

Considering how long ago that video was released, it seems that someone on the inside (with Trump, Hegseth, Rubio, etc.) is leaking some critical info. I wonder how they’ll be able to identify that person (or people).

Deep State can’t be too freaked out.

Where are the paid protestor rent-a-mobs protesting the war in Iran?

Talk is cheap, ain’t it, Deep State...

Awwww...

Why Is There No Antiwar Movement in the US? We don’t have an effective, mass antiwar movement to push back against Donald Trump’s war on Iran. We need one immediately.

Pay 'em and they will. Do why isn't Deep State...?

I defy anyone to make sense of this statement.

“a war that this administration really hasn’t explained”

Wrong. Democrats and their media allies have repeated this lie incessantly. Trump and his admin have done a good job explaining the war aims. Maybe people watching CNN or reading the MSM don’t know but that’s not Trump’s fault.

We certainly have a right to ignore civil rights laws under Democrat administrations, right?

Lol.

Here is the test.

Describe what victory looks like.

Precisely.

How do we measure and verify it?

Precisely.

“this administration really hasn’t explained”

Psaki was not an honest journalist. She puts up a strawman for the person interviewed to knockdown.

Trump has clearly stated that the purpose is to destroy Iran’s military capacity including nuclear weapons.

” a war that this administration really hasn’t explained,”

.

Actually, the current administration has explained their position quite clearly.

Good old Chris probably had a bit of trouble with the Powerpoint presentation, not using crayon font seems to be Chris’s “cursive kryptonite.”

Regime change. The Islamic Republic is replaced by a secular pro western government.
