The president of the United States, Donald Trump urged this Thursday to arrest and try the six Democratic legislators who urged the army, through a video, to disobey “illegal orders” issued by the president.
The president insisted that these actions constitute sedition and that this crime punishable by death penalty.
“This is called seditious behavior of the highest level. Each of these traitors to our country He must be arrested and tried. We cannot allow his words to go unpunished, we will lose our country! “We must set an example!” Trump wrote today in a first message on his social network Truth Social.
“This is really serious and dangerous for our country. We cannot allow his words to go unpunished.. Seditious behavior of traitors! “Should they imprison them?!” added the Republican in another text, who then added in a third message “Seditious conduct, punishable by the death penalty!”
In the video published on Wednesday, the six legislators emphasize that members of the Armed Forces are obliged to “defend the Constitution” y to “disobey illegal orders” despite the fact that they are given by Trump (who as president is commander in chief of the army), although they do not specify at any time what specific orders they refer to.
Since his return to power in January, Trump has ordered the army to deploy in different cities across the country, mostly governed by Democrats, with the argument of quelling riots that in his opinion are out of control and supported by the “radical left”, a reasoning considered invalid by different courts that have blocked these deployments.
White House spokesperson Caroline Leavittdenied today that the US president wants to “execute” members of Congress, although he harshly condemned the video and accused the legislators of sending a “very dangerous message” that “may be punishable by law.”
“The integrity of our Armed Forces is based on the chain of command, and if this is broken, can cause deaths. It can create chaos, and that is precisely what these congressmen, who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, are encouraging,” Leavitt said.
Leavitt assured that “it is not true” that Trump gave illegal orders, as the video suggests.
“Each and every order that the Commander in Chief gives to the Armed Forces of the United States, through the chain of command and the Secretary of War, are legaland the courts have shown that this administration has an impeccable record before the Supreme Court because we follow the laws. “We do not disobey court orders,” he concluded.
