[FOXNEWS] The one-minute video, posted by Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., and viewed more than 1.6 million times, features six lawmakers invoking their prior service while telling members of the military and intelligence community that "the threats to our Constitution are coming from right here at home."That's the Democrat line.
Slotkin and her colleagues have spent recent weeks introducing legislation to limit President Trump's ability to deploy National Guard members domestically
Which'd leave him with nobody to deploy domestically...
or launch military action against narcoterrorists without congressional approval.
... because you gotta be careful when kabooming narcoterrorists. They might be voters, maybe even citizens. Dear Gawd! Maybe even contributors!
None of that context appears in the video, titled "Don't Give Up the Ship," which instead frames the appeal as a warning to military members to "stand up for our laws" and "refuse unlawful orders."
As I remember it, military members are required to obey all lawful orders. Most of us had a pretty good handle on that,
Elissa Slotkin narrowly defeated Republican Mike Rogers to win the 2024 Senate election in Michigan.
Somehow or other...
Conservative accounts countered the viral clip, citing military law and interpreting the call to action as an alleged appeal to commit treason against the United States.
She's suborning the military.
"Elected Democrats just released a video encouraging members of the military to commit treason and defy orders from Trump and Hegseth," wrote the conservative account Libs of TikTok.
Officers are also prohibited from issuing unlawful orders.
Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., added: "At the end of the day, they're mad the American people chose Trump and now they're calling on the Military and Intelligence Community to intervene. Sounds a little 'subversive to democracy'-ish."
I expected nothing more from Dem pols.
The Department of War directed Fox News Digital to Hegseth's response, which simply read, "Stage 4 TDS," referring to "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
Terminal, poor dipshits...
Slotkin's "No Troops in Our Streets Act," detailed in a Nov. 13 release, would give Congress the power to block National Guard deployments inside American cities. President Trump has expanded National Guard operations to Los Angeles, Portland and Chicago amid violent crime.
To (temporary) good effect. That's why the caterwauling.
Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., simultaneously introduced a War Powers Continuing Resolution on Tuesday to block the president from ordering strikes on drug traffickers in the Caribbean—actions Crow described in a release as "unauthorized and illegal."
Congress would surely not delay or obstruct such authorization, would they>?
Both Democrats argue their bills are about asserting congressional authority, not politics. The viral video shared Tuesday, set to triumphant music, does not explicitly mention either piece of legislation.
