Democrats file police complaints over Trump’s posts accusing them of sedition

Several congressional Democrats filed police complaints over social media posts from President Donald Trump calling for them to face arrest and even punishment by death after they advised U.S. service members to defy illegal orders.

At least three lawmakers — Reps. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) and Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.) — said they contacted U.S. Capitol Police and filed complaints about Trump’s threats, which they said has undermined their personal safety and the safety of their offices.

Though the complaints are unlikely to result in any further action by Capitol Police, it marks an escalation in the tensions simmering between Trump and the six lawmakers who urged U.S. service members to defy unspecified illegal orders.

The three lawmakers — along with Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) and Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-N.H.) — appeared in the video earlier this week addressed to service members and intelligence community members. Each of them are either military veterans or worked in national security before being elected.

Trump lashed out against the lawmakers on Thursday in a series of posts to Truth Social, even appearing to advocate for hanging the Democrats, reposting another user calling for that like “GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD.”

“SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Trump wrote in a separate post.

Errin Cecil-Smith, a spokesperson for Houlahan, confirmed the office had filed a complaint, saying they treated Trump’s threats no differently than “all threats targeting Representative Houlahan.” She said following Trump’s posts, the office received “thousands” of calls and emails — which they alerted Capitol Police of in their complaint — and two of their district offices received bomb threats.

Cecil-Smith declined to comment on whether Capitol Police had responded to the complaints. Capitol Police did not respond to a request for comment.

“SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Trump wrote in a separate post.

Looks like Politico hasn't yet learned lesson about deceptively editing President Trump's posts.

Top Democrats who have called Trump “Hitler “:

Several prominent Democrats, including elected officials and party figures, have directly called Donald Trump “Hitler” or made explicit comparisons equating him to Adolf Hitler. These instances often occur in the context of criticizing Trump's rhetoric, policies, or rallies, drawing parallels to Nazi Germany. Below is a list based on verified statements from news reports, interviews, and public records. Note that while some Democrats have denied making such comparisons or argued they were highlighting authoritarian tendencies rather than literal equivalency, the quotes speak for themselves. I've focused on direct or near-direct invocations rather than broader fascist labels.

Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC): In a recent Fox News interview, when asked if he was “envisioning [Trump] as another Hitler,” Clyburn replied, “That's exactly what I'm saying!” He has also previously compared Trump's rise to power with Hitler's election as chancellor, stating, “Adolf Hitler was elected chancellor of Germany. And he went about the business of discrediting institutions to the point that people bought into it.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: Clinton compared Trump's rally in Ohio to Adolf Hitler's rallies, likening the event to Nazi speeches and implying a direct parallel to Hitler's style and supporters. She has also described Trump's Madison Square Garden rally as “reenacting” a 1939 pro-Nazi event.

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN, Vice Presidential nominee): Walz stated there was “a direct parallel” between Trump's Madison Square Garden rally and a pro-Nazi rally in the mid-1930s, explicitly tying Trump's events to Hitler's era.

Former Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT, former Ambassador to China): Baucus said Trump's rhetorical attacks on China make him “a little bit like Hitler.”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) and State Rep. Ana-Maria Ramos (D-TX): Both referred to Trump as “Temu Hitler” (implying a cheap or knockoff version of Hitler) in public statements.506373
President Joe Biden: While not directly calling Trump “Hitler,” Biden has repeatedly said Trump's language “echoes the same phrases used in Nazi Germany,” such as claims about “poisoning the blood” of America, which he explicitly linked to Hitler's rhetoric in Nazi propaganda.

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY): Nadler compared Trump's anti-immigrant propaganda to that used against Jews in the 1920s and World War I, stating it was “the same type of propaganda... against Jews. ‘Jews are Bolsheviks. Jews are thieves. Jews are violent’ – that was the propaganda.”

Former Vice President Al Gore: Gore has conceded the sensitivity of such comparisons but proceeded to draw parallels between Trump's actions and Hitler's Third Reich in speeches on topics like climate and authoritarianism.4098f7
Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL): Pritzker has compared Trump's policies and federal agent deployments to tactics in 1930s Germany,....

And there's more.

Democrats oughta get a dictionary before they open their seditious mouths.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sedition

sedition

noun

se·​di·​tion si-ˈdi-shən

Synonyms of sedition:

incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority

Looks like sedition doesn't have a synonym. Book 'em, Donno.

DOJ should arrest and perp walk these fools. Charge them with sedition and while they won’t be convicted, they will get to see what DJT had to go through for years.

Call Jason Crow back up for service and put him before a military court. His oath is still valid.

Seriously though: clear the trees in the Pentagon Courtyard and build a multi-noose gallows atop the center pavilion. Have it noisily tested at lunchtime each workday.
