Not long ago, every sensible and patriotic American would have found present-day Democrats’ tactics unthinkable.
In fact, presidents could (and did) take swift action against the perpetrators.
Friday on CNN, Democratic Rep. Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania doubled down on a shocking and potentially seditious video she and five other Democrats posted on Tuesday.
In that video, the six Democrats called on intelligence professionals and military service members to disobey illegal orders.
Of course, they cited no examples of such orders from President Donald Trump or Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. They simply renewed leftists’ oft-repeated smear of Trump as a threat to the Constitution. Never mind that the sovereign people elected him in a landslide.
Thursday on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump labeled the video “seditious” and called for the Democrats’ arrest.
On Friday, Houlahan responded by recounting what her father, who once served in the military, had told her.
“If you receive an order that you are not sure of,” the congresswoman said of her father’s advice, “you have a duty to question your commander, the person next in your chain of command. If that person says, ‘Nope, this is what the order is,’ and you still have an issue, you do have a duty to go up your chain of command to ask those questions. And you have an ability to go to the JAG [Judge Advocate General] and talk to them about that as well.”
Then, she took an obligatory swipe at Trump.
“Listen,” she continued, “I think that this is an amazing turn of events. Again, when we’re talking about the fact that we’re being threatened with death for asking people to follow the law, it is a case in point of why we were concerned to begin with.”
