Democrats have officially lost their minds. A group of six Democrat lawmakers—most of them former military or intel officers—just went on camera to tell the U.S. military and intelligence agencies to essentially ignore President Trump and Secretary Hegseth’s orders.
This isn’t hyperbole either. Their call to defy the President and Secretary of War was filmed–by them–and put on the internet for all to see.
In a video posted by Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin, she and five other Democrats—including Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, Reps. Chrissy Houlahan, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Jason Crow—called on service members to “stand up” to Trump’s administration. Their message? Don’t follow “illegal orders.” Translation: If you don’t like what Trump tells you to do, just don’t do it.
Watch as Democrats in Congress openly urge members of the military to go rogue.
That isn’t subtle. It’s not even clever. It’s a direct call for the military and intelligence community to resist the President of the United States. That’s not patriotism. That’s a soft coup dressed up in red, white, and blue.
They titled the video “Don’t Give Up the Ship” like it’s some kind of noble mission. But don’t be fooled. What they’re doing is dangerous. Article II of the Constitution makes it crystal clear—the President is the Commander-in-Chief. He runs the military. He runs the CIA and FBI. That’s the law. Not a suggestion. Not a debate.
And let’s not ignore the irony here. These same Democrats screamed for four years about “protecting democracy” from mean tweets and Russian bots. Now they’re the ones telling our armed forces to disobey the elected President. Imagine if Republicans had done this under Biden. The media would be howling about treason.
They ended their video with a creepy chant: “Don’t give up the ship.” No thanks. We’ll stick with the Constitution.
