Weeks after Elissa Slotkin and other Democrats released a bizarre and seditious video, telling members of the U.S. Military that it was OK to refuse supposedly ‘illegal’ orders from President Trump, the Commander in Chief, Slotkin is now trying to cover her tracks.
In a recent conversation with the far-left ‘Daily Beast’ Slotkin suddenly claimed that the only reason that Democrats released that video is because they were approached by so many members of the military who were concerned about this very thing:
One of the Democratic senators whom Donald Trump said should be executed for sedition isn’t backing down.
Sen. Elissa Slotkin, one of six prominent Democratic lawmakers and former service members who appeared in a video urging U.S. troops and intelligence officers to reject any unlawful commands, said on The Daily Beast Podcast that military personnel have expressed anguish to her over carrying out questionable orders since then.
“Certainly, since we made the video, people have been finding their way to us just to say, hey, we’ve been expressing this angst amongst ourselves,” the Michigan lawmaker said. “This was not coming out of nowhere.”
The lawmakers remind service members in the video that they took an oath to uphold the Constitution and can refuse to follow illegal orders under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
The group includes Slotkin and Sen. Mark Kelly, as well as Reps. Chrissy Houlahan, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Jason Crow. “Know that we have your back, because now, more than ever, the American people need you,” the lawmakers said.
Though they didn’t specify which orders they were referring to, the video was released amid intensifying scrutiny over the president’s deployment of federal troops in American cities and the Trump administration’s strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean.
Here’s the clip:

Does anyone believe this?
It is far more likely, that these Democrats got the idea for this stunt from a never-Trump columnist at The Atlantic. They stupidly ran with it, without considering how dangerous and inappropriate it was and now they have spent weeks trying to defend it.
There is no defense for this. They should face serious consequences for doing it.
