"(AP Photo/Evan Vucci) Conservative commentator Glenn Beck lit a fire under President Donald Trump Sunday after digging up a specific law to bolster claims of sedition against a handful of Democratic lawmakers. Trump accused the group of six Democrats of SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, which is punishable by DEATH! after they posted a video reminding service members that they have an obligation to disobey illegal orders. Trump re-truthed Beck's post that said: This is the law @realDonaldTrump is looking for: 18 U.S.C. 2387 Activities Affecting Armed Forces General"
"This statute makes it a federal crime to do any of the following with the intent to interfere with U.S. military operations: 1.Advise, urge, or attempt to cause: insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty among members of the U.S. military. 2.Obstruct or attempt to obstruct: recruiting, enlistment, or general military operations. 3.Distribute written materials advocating any of the above."
"One of the targeted lawmakers, Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO), accused White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt of misleading the American public about the video during a press conference last week. The sanctity of our military rests on the chain of command, Leavitt said. And if that chain of command is broken, it can lead to people getting killed. It can lead to chaos. And that's what these members of Congress who swore an oath to, to abide by the Constitution, are essentially encouraging."
Conservative commentator Glenn Beck located 18 U.S.C. 2387 and President Donald Trump amplified claims that six Democratic lawmakers committed seditious behavior after a video reminded service members of obligations to refuse illegal orders. The statute outlines federal crimes intended to interfere with military operations, including advising insubordination, obstructing recruitment or operations, and distributing materials that advocate such actions. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt warned that breaking the chain of command could lead to death and chaos. Representative Jason Crow accused Leavitt and the administration of misleading the public and attempting to silence dissent.
