"A group of Democrats all military veterans posted a video this week reminding servicemembers and intelligence officers, You can refuse illegal orders. That clip prompted President Donald Trump to go on a social media spree calling for the execution of the Democrats who participated in the video, and the White House to defend it and falsely accuse the Democrats of encouraging servicemembers to refuse lawful orders."
"TERRY SCHILLING: Sedition is a lawful process. You have to be tried and convicted in the court of law. He's not encouraging people. ABBY PHILLIP: Do you actually believe. TERRY SCHILLING: this is Hitler. ABBY PHILLIP: Hold on a second. TERRY SCHILLING: these people are fascists. ABBY PHILLIP: Hold on a second. TERRY SCHILLING: These people are fascists. ABBY PHILLIP: Do you actually believe that Democrats putting out a video saying, follow the law, is sedition?"
A group of Democratic military veterans released a video reminding servicemembers and intelligence officers they can refuse illegal orders.
