Grok Summary of Video Transcript:
Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) appeared on a Sunday morning show to discuss the intense backlash and security threats she and other Democratic lawmakers have received after releasing a video reminding U.S. military personnel of their right and duty to disobey unlawful orders.
President Trump has repeatedly labeled the lawmakers “traitors” engaged in “seditious behavior at the highest level,” called for their arrest and trial, and amplified posts suggesting they be hanged or punished by death.
Slotkin said the rhetoric, coming directly from the President, immediately escalated threats against them and changed the security environment.Slotkin defended the video as a routine, non-partisan reminder rooted in the Uniform Code of Military Justice and post-Nuremberg precedent that service members are not obligated to follow illegal orders.
She said it was prompted by a flood of inquiries from concerned young officers and troops unsure how to handle potentially questionable directives, especially regarding possible domestic use of the military in U.S. cities and ongoing operations near Venezuela.
She accused Trump of using threats and DOJ pressure to intimidate critics and distract from other stories (Epstein files, economy).
Slotkin expressed alarm at the massive U.S. military buildup around Venezuela (aircraft carriers, F-35s, estimated $1 billion already spent) and warned that any major action or regime-change effort should be transparent and debated publicly with Congress and the American people, noting widespread war-weariness after Iraq and Afghanistan.
Slotkin stopped short of claiming Trump has already issued specific illegal orders but cited past reported instances (e.g., 2020 Lafayette Square) and ongoing “legal gymnastics” in the Caribbean/Venezuela theater as reasons for troop unease.
She maintained the video was a responsible heads-up to service members to consult JAG officers if faced with ethically or legally dubious orders.
Democrats always accuse you of what they actually do
I can smell the projection from a mile away...
LMAO! 😂
Another proof that Jewish intelligence is overrated. Well, American Jews. And I am Jewish.
It’s like they’ve forgotten all about the Dark Brandon speech with a blood red backdrop and Marine guards.
Would have been interesting to show a comparison chart of the first year of the Biden/Obama DOJ versus the first year of the Trump DOJ.
The political persecution is all from the Democrat DOJ and judiciary. Left-wing governments are notorious for persecuting their political opponents.
Fat cells got loose and went to her brain.
That’s part of the strategy...acting like their actions never happened, counting on the media to carry their weight and a very short memoried public.
She’s pushing it. Wow.
“She maintained the video was a responsible heads-up to service members to consult JAG officers if faced with ethically or legally dubious orders.”
What a kind, helpful ex-CIA officer.
If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime. ARREST AND PROSECUTE
Elissa Slotkin - D evil
Slotkin was one of the Senate seats stolen in 24 by the usual Detroit 3am ballot dump. Now we are stuck with her for many years to come.
Gee was that stupid cow sleeping the last four years or was it “Hey that was different when our side was doing it” kind of thing just asking
Time for senator to awake to a horses head in their bed.
This is rich, coming from the commie pinko left who are masters at it.
Yes. Against enemies foreign and domestic.
Slotkin is a CIA goon engaging in seditious psyops.
Send the DOJ laser beam against her.
Trump is just trying to re-purpose an already weaponized Legal System.
[Forget “Justice”....]
Slotkin is totally, mentally fugly.
