A wave of intense anger swept through former President Trump after a video surfaced featuring six Democratic members of Congress. The video, released Tuesday, ignited a firestorm of controversy with its direct appeal to military and intelligence professionals.
Senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, alongside Representatives Chris DeLuzio, Chrissy Houlahan, Maggie Goodlander, and Jason Crow, appeared to urge these individuals to actively resist presidential authority. Their message centered on a perceived conflict between the Trump administration and the principles of constitutional defense.
The core of their argument rested on the oath taken by those in the military and intelligence communities – an oath to uphold the Constitution. They alleged the administration was deliberately creating division, pitting professionals against the American populace.
The call to action was stark: refuse orders deemed “illegal” from the President. Critics immediately labeled this a dangerous proposition, bordering on incitement to insurrection and a deliberate attempt to undermine the chain of command.
Trump responded swiftly and forcefully on his social media platform, sharing a report from the Washington Examiner detailing the video’s contents. His reaction was one of palpable fury, branding the video “seditious” and demanding the arrest of those involved.
He didn’t mince words, labeling the congress members “traitors” and insisting they be brought to trial. Trump warned that allowing such statements to go unchallenged would irrevocably damage the nation, emphasizing the need for a decisive example.
Further posts reiterated his outrage, describing the video as “really bad and dangerous” for the country. He repeatedly used the term “seditious” and questioned whether criminal charges were warranted, amplifying his demand for accountability.
To underscore the seriousness of his intent, Trump re-shared numerous posts from supporters echoing his call for prosecution. This deliberate action left no doubt about his desire to see legal consequences for the lawmakers’ actions.
The question now turns to potential legal action. The matter may soon fall to the discretion of the Attorney General, leaving the nation to watch and wait to see if Trump’s demand for justice will be met.
