The attack on coverage and commentary on unnamed networks by the MS NOW host comes amid continued fallout after the president raged a video made by six Democratic lawmakers urging military and intelligence service members to refuse illegal orders was SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH. Since the outburst, some conservative pundits and hosts have defended Trump's response. On Fox News, Hugh Hewitt dismissed the outburst as classic Donald Trump, while another network contributor, Trey Gowdy, called the Democrats' video dumb and downplayed the president's outburst.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), alongside the Democratic whip and conference chair, put out a statement Thursday blasting President Donald Trump's threat to execute six Congressional Democrats. Trump posted on social media a screed aimed at Sens. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and Representatives Jason Crow (D-CO), Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA). Trump's posts accused the lawmakers of SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH after they put out a video urging military members not to follow illegal orders.
