"Earlier this week, two Democratic senators and four House members put out a video reminding members of the military and intelligence services that they "swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution," not the president, and the law says they can "refuse illegal orders.""
"Trump began his Truth Social tirade by posting an Washington Examiner article about the video, and saying that each of the Democrats in the video are "traitors to our Country" who should be "ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL":"
"Then he noted in another post that "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR" is "punishable by DEATH!""
President Trump posted a series of messages on Truth Social calling for the arrest and execution of six Democratic lawmakers. The lawmakers — Senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly and Representatives Maggie Goodlander, Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, and Chrissy Houlahan — released a video reminding military and intelligence personnel that they swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution and may refuse unlawful orders. Trump labeled them "traitors to our Country," urged they be "ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL," and suggested "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR" is "punishable by DEATH!" The posts escalated rhetoric and prompted concern about threats of political violence.
