Trump blasts 'seditious behavior' as Dems urge military to ignore 'illegal' orders

President Donald Trump on Thursday fumed over a video of Democratic lawmakers urging military officials to ignore "illegal" orders from the Trump administration and promising to support them in such a move.

"This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP???" Trump posted on Truth Social.

"SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!" he added in a second post.

Earlier this week, Democratic members of the House and Senate who either served in the military or intelligence agencies, posted a video telling service members to ignore "illegal orders" from the president.

"This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens," they said. "Like us, you swore an oath."

Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., Rep. Chris Deluzio, D-Pa., Rep. Maggie Goodlander, D-N.H., Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa., and Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., all participated in the video.
