Donald Trump has said a lot of awful things in the past, but his latest comments toward a group of democrats is a whole new horrifying level…
On Tuesday, Senator Mark Kelly, Senator Elissa Slotkin, Representative Chris Deluzio, Representative Maggie Goodlander, Representative Jason Crow, and Representative Chrissy Houlahan — all of whom have military or intelligence backgrounds — released a video urging soldiers to ignore any illegal orders and remember they swore an oath to the Constitution, not to Trump or anyone else in the chain of command.

They did not call for the opposition of any specific orders or policies, but sent an important reminder about their duties, saying:
“This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens. Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats coming to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.”
Watch it for yourself (below):
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.
The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Trump, of course, responded days later. And he dropped a few extremely problematic posts. He took to Truth Social on Thursday morning to first call for the arrest of all six politicians:
“It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. 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. President DJT”
It’s bad enough the president wants lawmakers, who didn’t say anything illegal or engage in “seditious behavior,” arrested just because he disagrees with him. However, Trump took things to a whole new scary level when he re-posted a message calling for their EXECUTION! He shared a social media user’s comment that said:
“HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD!!”
WTF! He added in another post:
“This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP???”
Trump continued to threaten them, writing:
“SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”
We cannot stress enough how irresponsible and dangerous his threats are in this day and age, especially when politically motivated violence is more prevalent than ever. You know there are some twisted folks out there who will take his words to heart. Trump not only put those six democrats lives at risk but also possibly their own families, all because he didn’t like what they said. This is not OK.
Those politicians have since released a joint statement condemning Trump. They wrote:
“We are veterans and national security professionals who love this country and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath lasts a lifetime, and we intend to keep it. No threat, intimidation, or call for violence will deter us from that sacred obligation. What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law. Our servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders. It is not only the right thing to do, but also our duty.”
They then stressed that everyone should slam Trump’s incitement of political violence:
“But this isn’t about any one of us. This isn’t about politics. This is about who we are as Americans. Every American must unite and condemn the President’s calls for our murder and political violence. This is a time for moral clarity. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage. We will continue to lead and will not be intimidated.”
