The reason these brainless leftist hacks think they can get away with this insurrectionist nonsense is that they never accept that Trump is the legitimately elected President. Therefore, they can say and do outrageous things that have no connection with reality, the truth or the facts.
It also requires a brainless echo chamber where they make themselves believe that the majority are with them when they engage in reckless, dangerous rhetoric and outlandish insults.
Sens. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Mark Kelly of Arizona joined Reps. Jason Crow, Christopher Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander and Chrissy Houlahan in giving the impression that they would “have the back” of soldiers who enlisted in the resistance.
“The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution,” Ms. Slotkin explained.
On the talk show circuit Sunday, video participants backtracked with Jesuitical insistence that they had merely recommended a refusal of “illegal” directives from the commander in chief. Such excuses don’t pass muster coming from a crowd that consistently labels every second-term agenda item the stuff of a fascist dictator.
Donald Trump’s response was harsh. “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. It wasn’t, and never will be,” the president wrote on Truth Social.
He cited a federal statute prescribing prison time for anyone who “urges, or in any manner causes or attempts to cause insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty by any member of the military.”
Members of Congress would have First Amendment and speech and debate clause defenses to such a charge, but Mr. Trump can be forgiven for a bit of hyperbole. These individuals have schemed in the shadows to sabotage his entire political career.
