In it, the six lawmakers \u2014 Slotkin, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, and Reps. Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander and Chrissy Houlahan \u2014 speak directly to U.S. service members, whom Slotkin acknowledges are \u201cunder enormous stress and pressure right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution,\u201d Slotkin wrote in the X post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump on Thursday reposted messages from others about the video, amplifying it with his own words. It marked another flashpoint in the political rhetoric that at times has been thematic in his administrations, as well as among some in his MAGA base. Some Democrats accused him of acting like a king and trying to distract from the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/donald-trump-jeffrey-epstein-justice-department-4872c23a3ed03bf3d4c526581d3aed59\">soon-to-be-released files<\/a>&nbsp;about disgraced financier and sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Democrats said in the video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With pieces of dialogue spliced together from different members, the lawmakers introduce themselves and their background. They go on to say the Trump administration \u201cis pitting our uniformed military against American citizens. They call for service members to \u201crefuse illegal orders\u201d and \u201cstand up for our laws.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.<br><br>The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.<br><br>Don\u2019t give up the ship. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/N8lW0EpQ7r\">pic.twitter.com\/N8lW0EpQ7r<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Sen.

Troops can be criminally charged with Article 90 of the UCMJ, willfully disobeying a superior commissioned officer, and Article 92, failure to obey an order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Trump reacted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On Thursday, Trump reposted to social media an article about the video, adding his own commentary that it was \u201creally bad, and Dangerous to our Country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!!\u201d Trump went on. \u201cLOCK THEM UP???\u201d He called for the lawmakers\u2019 arrest and trial, adding in a separate post that it was \u201cSEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump also reposted more than a dozen comments from other accounts criticizing Democrats, including one that stated \u201cHANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asked during a White House briefing on Thursday about the intent of Trump\u2019s messages, press secretary Karoline Leavitt instead honed in on the Democrats\u2019 message, which she posited \u201cperhaps is punishable by law.\u201d Leavitt went on to say that any incitement to \u201cdefy the chain of command, not to follow lawful orders\u201d is \u201ca very dangerous thing for sitting members of Congress to do, and they should be held accountable, and that\u2019s what the president wants to see.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Democrats were swift to react to Trump\u2019s words, with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer warning in a floor speech that the president was \u201clighting a match in a country soaked with political gasoline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaker Mike Johnson said he did not believe Trump was calling for violence in the social media posts, saying Trump was merely \u201cdefining a crime,\u201d and calling the Democrats\u2019 video \u201cwildly inappropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThink of the threat that is to our national security and what it means for our institution,\u201d Johnson added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump\u2019s allies balked at the video. On Wednesday on Fox News, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller called the messaging \u201cinsurrection \u2014 plainly, directly, without question\u201d and said it represented \u201ca general call for rebellion from the CIA and the armed services of the United States, by Democrat lawmakers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On X, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth commented on the video Tuesday as \u201cStage 4 TDS,\u201d referring to \u201cTrump Derangement Syndrome\u201d \u2014 a term used by Trump to describe voters so angry and opposed to him that they are incapable of seeing any good in what he does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Steady State, which describes itself as \u201ca network of 300+ national and homeland security experts standing for strong and principled policy, rule of law, and democracy,\u201d wrote in a Substack post on Thursday that the lawmakers\u2019 call was \u201conly a restatement of what every officer and enlisted servicemember already knows: illegal orders can and should be refused. This is not a political opinion. It is doctrine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell challenged the theory that illegal orders were being issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur military follows orders, and our civilians give legal orders,\u201d Parnell told The Associated Press on Thursday. \u201cWe love the Constitution. These politicians are out of their minds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slotkin, Whitmer respond<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a joint statement, Slotkin and fellow Democrats in the initial video said they won&#8217;t back down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Our service members should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders. It is not only the right thing to do, but also our duty,&#8221; they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut this isn\u2019t about any one of us. This isn\u2019t about politics. This is about who we are as Americans. Every American must unite and condemn the President\u2019s calls for our murder and political violence. This is a time for moral clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging.<br><br>Here\u2019s my response: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jIZYrQTlP7\">pic.twitter.com\/jIZYrQTlP7<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Sen.
