Six Democrats urge military members to 'refuse illegal orders' in viral video
Six Democratic lawmakers with military backgrounds released a viral video urging service members to refuse illegal orders amid concerns over domestic deployments and overseas strikes.
- On Tuesday, six Democratic members of Congress released a 90-second video on Sen. Elissa Slotkin's social accounts urging the U.S. military and intelligence communities to refuse orders they believe are illegal.
- Amid concerns about domestic threats to the Constitution, two U.S. Senators and four members of the House of Representatives said no one must carry out orders violating the law or Constitution and warned the administration is pitting military and intelligence professionals against American citizens.
- Taking turns, the six lawmakers—Elissa Slotkin, Mark Kelly, Chrissy Houlahan, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Jason Crow—read a prepared statement while highlighting their military or intelligence experience.
- The Trump administration responded swiftly, with Stephen Miller calling Democrats 'now openly calling for insurrection' and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth labeling the video 'Stage 4 TDS' on X.
