What prompted Don Lemon to say Trump called for Democratic lawmakers to be killed?
Let me say this very clearly. Donald Trump is calling for Democrats, Democratic lawmakers to be killed. And it's not being hyperbolic. It is the truth. Now, let me show you what he's so miffed or pissed about. And then I'll show you what he said. This video that I'm going to show you, these are Democratic lawmakers who are veterans who have served this country. They made this video urging members of the military not to follow unlawful orders. Watch. Watch.
I'm Senator Alyssa Slotkin. Senator Mark Kelly. Representative Chris Deluzio. Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander. Representative Chrissy Houlihan. Congressman Jason Crow. I was a captain in the United States Navy. Former CIA officer. Former Navy. Former paratrooper and Army Ranger. Former intelligence officer. Former Air Force. We want to speak directly to members of the military. And the intelligence community. Who take risks each day. To keep Americans safe. We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now. Americans trust their military. But that trust is at risk. This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens.
What was in the veterans' video advising military members about unlawful orders?
Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution. We know this is hard. And that it's a difficult time to be a public servant. But whether you're serving in the CIA. The Army. The Navy. The Air Force. Your vigilance is critical. And know that we have your back. Because now, more than ever, the American people need you. We need you to stand up for our laws, our Constitution, and who we are as Americans.
Don't give up. Don't give up. Don't give up. Don't give up the ship.
Don't give up the ship. Well, that did not go over well with Donald Trump, especially since he has, you know, he's got these folks out there just rounding people up off the street, no due process, members of the military, ICE, all of that masked, some of them in uniform, some of them not in uniform. It's been very controversial. And he's doing it without, obviously, you know, with the support of local elected officials or local law enforcement. So Donald Trump immediately said that they should be killed. He's saying it's called seditious behavior at the highest level. That's what he said on True Social. And he said each of these traitors to our country should be arrested and put on trial. Their words cannot be allowed to stand.
We won't have a country anymore. An example we must set. Now, He not only posted that, but there's so many of these truth social posts that Donald Trump, I believe, according to the political article, that Donald Trump reposted 16 truth social posts, including one that advocated for hanging the Democrats like George Washington would. Donald J. Trump, he re-truthed. this post. Hang them, George Washington would. That is coming from the President of the United States, who is, I don't think there's anyone who, any lawyer or anybody else would tell you, he's advocating violence and death and putting these people in danger. And he has the nerve to want to sue people because he feels that it is somehow hurting him?
Now, before I get all, I think this is outrageous. But we know that Donald Trump is desperate right now. And what he wants to do is change the narrative away from the Epstein files. Now that he's signed the Epstein files, he is hoping that this little investigation that he started in the Southern District of New York, that'll be enough of a cover when Pam Bondi says, I can't release the files, I can't release all of them because there is an active investigation. So he is hoping that that will change it. That's what he's hoping for. So let's just put up some of the things that Donald Trump posted or reposted, okay? So this one, he said, seditious behavior, punishable by death.
