Trump says Democrats’ video message to military is ‘seditious behavior’ punishable by death
As political tensions continue to climb, a new clash erupted Thursday after President Donald Trump accused six Democratic lawmakers of “sedition” for urging U.S. service members to reject unlawful orders. The lawmakers — all military or intelligence veterans — had released a short video reminding troops that their oath is to the Constitution, not any individual. Their message came as the administration pushes to deploy National Guard troops into U.S. cities, a move tied up in legal and political challenges. Trump’s escalation, including social media posts referencing punishment “by DEATH,” drew sharp warnings from Democrats and prompted a fresh debate over military duty, lawful orders, and the boundaries of presidential rhetoric.
