Former CIA official and current US Senator from Michigan Elizabeth Slotkin and a group of Democrat former military and intelligence community Congressmen and Senators released a video on Tuesday addressed to current military and intelligence community members.
The seditious Democrats falsely told US military soldiers, sailors and Marines, and intelligence personnel that President Trump is “pitting” them against American citizens and that they have a duty to disobey his alleged “illegal” orders.
As Kristinn Taylor reported, the seditious conspirators featured in the video are: former CIA officer Slotkin, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), former Navy officer and NASA astronaut; Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA), former Navy officer; Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), former Navy Reserve intelligence officer and wife of Biden national security advisor Jake Sullivan; Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), former Air Force officer and Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO), former Army Ranger.
Slotkin posted the video with this additional statement: “We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.”

We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now, Americans trust their military, but that trust is at risk. This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens. Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution.
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 can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.
We know this is hard and that it’s a difficult time to be a public servant. But whether you’re serving in the CIA, the Army, our Navy, the Air Force, your vigilance is critical and know that we have your back. Because now, more than ever, the American people need you. We need you to stand up for our laws, our Constitution, and who we are as Americans.
Don’t give up, don’t give up, don’t give up, don’t give up the ship.
Earlier Thursday, Trump also posted on Truth Social: “It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. 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. President DJT”
And, “This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP??? President DJT”
President Trump later posted this on TRUTH Social.
SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!
President Trump is correct!
Past presidents have executed traitors for seditious conspiracy. This happened throughout history.
The great and wise Abraham Lincoln, who also witness seditious behavior from the left and was eventually assassinated by a radical Democrat, hanged traitors.
Via Grok.
Abraham Lincoln’s administration executed people convicted of treason or related wartime offenses during the Civil War.
- Confederate sympathizers and guerrillas
Several people convicted of treason, sabotage, or aiding the Confederacy were executed under Lincoln:- William Bruce Mumford was hanged in New Orleans in June 1862 for tearing down a U.S. flag (convicted of treason by a military commission under Gen. Benjamin Butler; Lincoln did not intervene).
- At least four men in Missouri were executed in 1864 for treason after being caught crossing Union lines to join the Confederate army.
- Numerous Confederate guerrillas, bridge-burners, and spies (e.g., Sam Davis in Tennessee, 1863) were hanged after military trials.
- Border-state and Northern civilians
Executions of civilians for treason were rare in the loyal states, but they did happen. The most prominent case that Lincoln declined execution was the 1864–1865 trials of the “Sons of Liberty” (Northern Copperhead conspirators). Several were sentenced to death, but Lincoln commuted most sentences to life imprisonment, and none were ultimately executed. - Lincoln was notably merciful by the standards of civil-war presidents. He routinely pardoned or commuted death sentences for sleeping sentries, deserters, and even some convicted spies and saboteurs. Of the roughly 267 Union soldiers formally sentenced to death and forwarded to him for review, he approved execution in fewer than 50 cases.
If America is to survive as a country, the anti-American treasonous Democrats must not be allowed to destroy this great nation with their seditious acts.
