Democratic lawmakers get ‘24-7′ security after Trump accused them of ‘seditious behavior’ over ‘illegal orders’ video

A Democratic senator who joined five of her colleagues to urge members of the military to disobey “illegal orders” from the Trump administration said Thursday the sextet was under round-the-clock protection after the president called them “traitors” and said their words could be “punishable by DEATH.”

“Capitol Police came to us and said, ‘We’re gonna put you on 24/7 security,’” Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), told MS NOW’s “All In with Chris Hayes.”

“We’ve got law enforcement out in front of my house. I mean, it changes things immediately,” Slotkin added. “And leadership climate is set from the top. And if the president is saying you should be hanged, then we shouldn’t be surprised when folks on the ground are going to follow suit and say even worse.”

Slotkin was joined by Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, Reps. Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Rep. Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, and Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado in the 60-second video, released Tuesday, which warned service members: “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 must refuse illegal orders.”

President Trump responded Thursday in a series of Truth Social posts, writing: “Each one 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 MUST BE SET.”

At one point, Milley is reported to have pledged to the Chinese that he would tip them off about any possible attack coming from the United States.

Later, it was revealed that Milley was working with Nancy Pelosi, both of whom were trying to subvert the constitutional system in order to essentially neuter Donald Trump’s ability to function as Commander in Chief.

Now, the clean-up crew has arrived to gaslight everyone and claim that was transpired not only didn’t amount to an intention to commit treason but was “routine.”
