US President Donald Trump has said that six Democrats involved
in a video calling on military officers to refuse illegal commands
“should be in jail”.
Trump took to social media on Saturday night, writing:
“THE TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS SHOULD
BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW, NOT ROAMING THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS TRYING TO
EXPLAIN THAT WHAT THEY SAID WAS OK.”
He said that the Democrats’ message was “SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST
LEVEL” and that “THERE CAN BE NO OTHER INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THEY
SAID”.
The Republican leader’s remarks came after he accused Democrat
lawmakers on Friday of “seditious behaviour, punishable by
death”.
Democrats slammed Trump’s comments as “absolutely vile” threats
against the six senators and representatives, all of whom have
served in the military or intelligence community.
The video posted on social media on Friday called on the
military to “refuse illegal orders” and featured Arizona’s Mark
Kelly, Michigan’s Elissa Slotkin, along with Jason Crow of
Colorado, Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania and
Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire.
