President Donald Trump's comments accusing Democratic lawmakers of "seditious behavior" following a video encouraging members of the military to refuse "illegal orders" have drawn criticism across party lines.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin, one of the six Democrats featured in the video, told ABC News' "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz on Sunday that she believed Trump's attack, threatening the punishment of death for sedition, is "a tool of fear."

"He's trying to get us to shut up because he doesn't want to be talking about this," Slotkin said. "In fact, I would argue that one of the things that he's been doing by repeating it and talking about it is trying to distract us from the big stories of last week, which were the [Jeffrey] Epstein files and then the economy."

Republican Rep. Michael McCaul also sought to distance himself from the comments, telling Raddatz, "I don't speak for the president in terms of hanging members of Congress."

2. There are Military Veterans who happen to be Republiican members of Congress as well..........

Who should be speaking out against Trump's hateful and dangerous rhetoric.

THEY too, swore oaths to uphold and defend the US Constitution when they served in the US Military and now in Congress. They owe it to the country to speak up, but will they is the question!

Time will tell.

5. I don't even know why we bothered to administer the oath to these people.

They are treating the constitution like it’s a suggestion and they shouldn’t make promises. They’re not gonna keep.

8. The rhetoric of the video was all over the place

One licker of orange ass suggested Democrats were telling military to disobey lawful orders.

Another licker of orange ass said military members study the rules of engagement and know the difference between what's legal and what's not and Democrats were being condescending.

Totally different interpretations from the keystone kestapo. Their one trick is throwing the kitchen sink.
