President Donald Trump went after six Democratic lawmakers, calling them traitors and saying they committed sedition. He wrote that what they did could be punished by death. The lawmakers had made a video earlier in the week telling military members they have the right to say no to orders that break the law.
According to New York Times, all six of the Democrats who made the video used to work in the military or intelligence agencies. This includes Senator Elissa Slotkin from Michigan, who worked for the CIA, and Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona, who was a Navy captain and also an astronaut. In their video, they talked straight to people serving in the military and intelligence community right now. Kelly said in the clip that the law is clear and you can refuse orders that are illegal.
