"SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW. The president's all-caps post at 11:17 p.m. ET ripped the lawmakers for ROAMING THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS TRYING TO EXPLAIN WHAT THEY SAID WAS OK. He continued, IT WASN'T, AND IT NEVER WILL BE! IT WAS SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, AND SEDITION IS A MAJOR CRIME. THERE CAN BE NO OTHER INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THEY SAID!"
"The president, of course, was referring to the video posted by Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) on Tuesday, where she and five other lawmakers said that threats to the Constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but right here at home. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders, the lawmakers said, as they took turns reading lines from the same statement."
"Trump, two days later, branded it SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR that should be punishable by DEATH. The president, in another post on Saturday night soon after, added MANY GREAT LEGAL SCHOLARS AGREE with him, THAT THE DEMOCRAT TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS, AS PRESIDENT, HAVE COMMITTED A CRIME OF SERIOUS PROPORTION! His recent comments have been ripped by some in the media. CNN's Jake Tapper, for example, slammed the president's comments on Friday, saying they were wildly inappropriate and potentially dangerous."
President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social saying the six Democratic lawmakers 'SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW' and called their remarks seditious. He accused them of 'ROAMING THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS' and asserted their statement 'WAS SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.' The lawmakers posted a video urging service members to refuse illegal orders and emphasized that threats to the Constitution exist domestically. The group included Sen. Elissa Slotkin and Reps. Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, Jason Crow, Chrissy Houlahan, and Sen. Mark Kelly, many with military or intelligence backgrounds. Trump later said legal scholars agreed and called their conduct a serious crime. Media figures offered contrasting reactions.
