Donald Trump’s furious posts suggesting the death penalty for six Democrats who reminded U.S. troops they should refuse illegal orders ignited a firestorm on Capitol Hill and prompted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to question his mental fitness.
Trump’s flare-up followed a video recorded by the six Democratic military and intelligence veterans, led by Sen. Elissa Slotkin, calling on troops to uphold the Constitution.
In a minute-long video, Sens. Slotkin and Mark Kelly joined Reps. Chrissy Houlahan, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Jason Crow advise members of the military and the intelligence community to “refuse illegal orders.”
Commander-in-Chief Trump, 79, blasted the message on Truth Social as “seditious behavior” and amplified posts arguing it was “punishable by DEATH.”
