Democratic House leadership members announced Thursday that they had contacted Capitol Police in response to President Donald Trump labeling a video some of their members released “seditious” and an act of “traitors.”
On Tuesday, six Democrats appeared in a video posted on social media, instructing those serving in the military and the intelligence community to disobey Trump’s orders if they deem them unlawful or in violation of the Constitution.
Democratic Sens. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Mark Kelly of Arizona were joined by House Reps. Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, and Jason Crow of Colorado, all of whom identified themselves as veterans of the military or intelligence agencies.
“We want to speak directly to members of the military and intelligence community,” they began.
