CNN anchor Abby Phillip called out consistent Trump defender Ben Ferguson in a heated discussion of President Donald Trump’s rant about executing Democrats, telling him, “You cannot sit here and lie!”

A group of Democrats — all military veterans — posted a video this week reminding servicemembers and intelligence officers, “You can refuse illegal orders.”

That clip prompted President Donald Trump to go on a social media spree calling for the execution of the Democrats who participated in the video, and the White House to defend it — and falsely accuse the Democrats of encouraging servicemembers to refuse “lawful orders.”.
