"The video drew the ire of President Donald Trump, who wrote on Truth Social, 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. Trump also reposted several posts from Truth Social users, including one reading, HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!"
"She then played clips from three callers: CALLER 1: You deserve to die. I hope you all get murdered. I hope you all get f***ing throat-slashed. CALLER 2: You disgraced America, and I pray you die today, but not before your family does. I pray they die a painful death. CALLER 3: Hurry up and die, you worthless f***ing traitor. It's pretty incredible to think about that, Burnett reacted. Think about people that would call and say that."
"The six lawmakers in the video were: Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ); Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI); Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO); Chris Deluzio (D-PA); Maggie Goodlander (D-NH); and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA). All are veterans of the armed forces or the CIA. On Tuesday's OutFront, Burnett read Trump's post and said, The threats from the president of the United States do have real and alarming consequences. Just listen to the threats that Congressman Jason Crow, who's part of the video, says that he's received."
Six Democratic lawmakers who urged military and intelligence personnel to refuse illegal orders were labeled seditious by President Trump on Truth Social and faced calls for arrest.

The lawmakers — Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin, Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan — are veterans of the armed services or the CIA. Multiple violent voicemails and threats followed the posts. One lawmaker experienced an immediate surge in threats, received 24/7 protection from Capitol Police, and the FBI has opened an investigation into threats against the members.
