A group of six Democrats, comprised of two senators and four members of the House, released an incendiary video in which they called for members of the military and intelligence community to disobey orders they receive from the Trump administration.
Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), along with Reps. Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), and Jason Crow (D-CO), all former members of the military, encouraged military members to “refuse illegal orders.”
“The administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens,” they claimed. “Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, right now.”
The Democrats accused the Trump administration of violating the Constitution, continuing, “The threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home.”
“Our laws are clear: You can refuse illegal orders,” they pronounced, reiterating, “You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.”

“We know this is hard and that it’s a difficult time to be a public servant,” they insisted. “But whether you’re serving in the CIA, the Army, our Navy, the Air Force, your vigilance is critical. And know that we have your back, because now, more than ever, the American people need you. We need you to stand up for our laws, our Constitution, and who we are as Americans. Don’t give up. Don’t give up the ship.”
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.
The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.
Don’t give up the ship. pic.twitter.com/N8lW0EpQ7r

Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller immediately responded, “Democrat lawmakers are now openly calling for insurrection.”

“There’s nothing graver than you can possibly say as a United States senator than encouraging, urging, directing members of the armed forces of the United States or the clandestine services of the United States to defy their president, to defy their chain of command, defy their superiors,” he added.
BOOM!!!
Stephen Miller just exposed the entire Democrat operation LIVE.
They weren’t “criticizing” Trump… they were actively PRESSURING the military & intelligence community to IGNORE a sitting President.
That’s not politics. That’s INSURRECTION.

President Trump, as per usual, bluntly addressed the situation, writing, “This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP???” He added, “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”
The irony, of course, is that previous Democratic administrations have routinely violated the Constitution with not a peep heard from their party.
As The Washington Post noted in September 2023, “The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit on Friday ruled that the Biden White House, top government health officials and the FBI likely violated the First Amendment by improperly influencing tech companies’ decisions to remove or suppress posts on the coronavirus and elections.”
In 2021, various entities, including The Daily Wire, sued the Biden administration for its illegal and unconstitutional vaccine mandate imposed on private businesses.
