1. Democrats’ Video
Six Democratic lawmakers released a 90-second video telling service members they must refuse any order that violates the Constitution,
warning that threats are “emerging from within the country.”
2. Trump’s Reaction
Trump responded online with angry posts, calling the lawmakers’ actions “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH.”
He also reshared a user who wrote “HANG THEM,” referencing George Washington.
3. Unexpected Mistake
While posting a screenshot from the video,
Trump accidentally promoted an openly anti-Trump account named “Impeach Trump a 3rd Time,”
which features pro-Democrat content and images of burning MAGA hats.
Commentators quickly noticed the slip.
4. Later Clarification
In a Fox News interview, Trump stepped back slightly, saying, “I’m not threatening death,
but I think they’re in serious trouble,”
though he continued criticizing the lawmakers and their message about rejecting unlawful orders.
