They\u2019ve tried to spin the video as nothing more than a harmless PSA reminding service members they can refuse \u201cillegal orders.\u201d But anyone who actually watched it knows that\u2019s nonsense. An order isn\u2019t \u201cillegal\u201d just because a Democrat doesn\u2019t like the president who issued it.<\/p>\n<p>The message many people took away \u2014 correctly \u2014 was that these lawmakers were trying to undermine the president\u2019s authority with the troops.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) blew up their flimsy defense even further by admitting the video was motivated by her dislike of President Donald Trump. So much for the \u201cjust a neutral PSA\u201d storyline.<\/p>\n<p>Here it is for a reminder:<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=eyJ0ZndfdGltZWxpbmVfbGlzdCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOltdLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2ZvbGxvd2VyX2NvdW50X3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9iYWNrZW5kIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19yZWZzcmNfc2Vzc2lvbiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZm9zbnJfc29mdF9pbnRlcnZlbnRpb25zX2VuYWJsZWQiOnsiYnVja2V0Ijoib24iLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X21peGVkX21lZGlhXzE1ODk3Ijp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRyZWF0bWVudCIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3Nob3dfYmlyZHdhdGNoX3Bpdm90c19lbmFibGVkIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19kdXBsaWNhdGVfc2NyaWJlc190b19zZXR0aW5ncyI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdXNlX3Byb2ZpbGVfaW1hZ2Vfc2hhcGVfZW5hYmxlZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdmlkZW9faGxzX2R5bmFtaWNfbWFuaWZlc3RzXzE1MDgyIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRydWVfYml0cmF0ZSIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfbGVnYWN5X3RpbWVsaW5lX3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9mcm9udGVuZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9fQ%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1990840938076283217&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fusajournal.news%2F2025%2F11%2F28%2Fwelp-house-dem-in-seditious%2F&amp;sessionId=dc0787134e6cf44b607ce7fafc4f2e0ce87c12dd&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1990840938076283217\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Another member of the group, Rep.

Why not?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deluzio seemed shocked he was asked that, and it took him a couple of moments to respond. He said, \u201cWell, everyone in this country has a right to refuse to do that. And I think that this is a clear attempt to intimidate us.\u201d He also said he was a member of Congress, as though that meant he was above all this\u2026and the law.<\/p>\n<p>Um, pro tip: you don\u2019t get to blow off the FBI just because you\u2019ve convinced yourself you\u2019re above the law \u2014 or because you want to pretend Trump is \u201cintimidating\u201d you. The Bureau is actually being polite by offering a voluntary interview first. If you refuse to sit down and explain yourself, don\u2019t act shocked or start whining when they decide to use other tools to keep the investigation moving.<\/p>\n<p>And if this video was truly just an innocent little \u201cPSA,\u201d then why isn\u2019t Deluzio eager to talk? What\u2019s he afraid of? Why is he dodging basic questions? What exactly is he trying not to answer?<\/p>\n<p>I want to know exactly who helped organize this stunt and who wrote the \u201cscript\u201d that Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) openly admitted was handed to him. If Deluzio\u2019s evasive performance is any indication, the other five lawmakers will likely try the same dodge-and-delay routine when the FBI calls.<\/p>\n<p>They may think stonewalling will stall the investigation, but that\u2019s wishful thinking. The Bureau isn\u2019t going to back off just because six Democrats don\u2019t feel like answering questions about a video that reeks of sedition and seditious conspiracy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The six lawmakers behind the \u201cillegal orders\u201d video are now getting calls from the FBI to schedule interviews \u2014 exactly what happens when you play fast and loose with rhetoric &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25359,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25358"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25358\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25360,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25358\/revisions\/25360"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/25359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
