Six Democrats urge military members to 'refuse orders' in viral video; Hegseth responds
Jasmine Baehr
A group of Democrat lawmakers with military and intelligence backgrounds released a video Tuesday urging service members to "refuse orders," a message conservatives blasted as a call to defy President Donald Trump and his Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
The one-minute video, posted by Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., and viewed more than 1.6 million times, features six lawmakers invoking their prior service while telling members of the military and intelligence community that "the threats to our Constitution are coming from right here at home."
Slotkin and her colleagues have spent recent weeks introducing legislation to limit President Trump’s ability to deploy National Guard members domestically or launch military action against narcoterrorists without congressional approval.
None of that context appears in the video, titled "Don’t Give Up the Ship," which instead frames the appeal as a warning to military members to "stand up for our laws" and "refuse unlawful orders."
Conservative accounts countered the viral clip, citing military law and interpreting the call to action as an alleged appeal to commit treason against the United States.
"Elected Democrats just released a video encouraging members of the military to commit treason and defy orders from Trump and Hegseth," wrote the conservative account Libs of TikTok.
Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., added: "At the end of the day, they’re mad the American people chose Trump and now they’re calling on the Military and Intelligence Community to intervene. Sounds a little ‘subversive to democracy’-ish."

Slotkin is the fucking worst. She claims to be this bipartisan, middle of the road, "I represent everybody" politician but her voting record doesn't lie. She is an extremely reliable D party vote.

Every last bit of this is all theatre. From both sides. The R's will do nothing but complain and I am 100% certain that before they released this to the public the Democrats had teams of lawyers combing over every fucking word to make sure it went up to the line but not over it. They knew exactly what they were doing and it's pathetic.

I am just going to say it.
this new age where petty issues turn into law suits and hearings and impeachments, etc is directly a result of allowing women into the mix. Only women can deal with issues on these petty levels and not be able to just drop things. Sure you can find examples of men fanning the flames but they do it because they know the women are going to pick it up and run with it.
