Karoline Leavitt Turns Dems Into Dust After Calling On Troops to Defy Trump

By POLITICS COMMENTARY

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized current members of Congress who appeared in a video that she claimed sends a “dangerous message” to the 1.3 million active duty service members, encouraging them to defy orders they believe to be unlawful.

During a White House press briefing on Thursday, Leavitt was asked about President Donald Trump’s remarks regarding the video, which he described as “seditious behavior punishable by death” perpetrated by the six Democrats featured in it. These Democrats include Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Reps. Chris Deluzio (PA-17), Chrissy Houlahan (PA-6), Maggie Goodlander (NH-2), and Jason Crow (CO-6), all of whom are former members of the military or the intelligence community.

“Let’s be clear what the president is responding to, because many in this room want to talk about the president’s response, but not what brought the president responding in this way,” Leavitt said. “You have sitting members of the United States Congress who conspired together to orchestrate a video message to members of the United States military, to active duty service members, to members of the national security apparatus, encouraging them to defy the president’s lawful orders.”

She added: “The sanctity of our military rests on the chain of command, and if that chain of command is broken, it can lead to people getting killed, it can lead to chaos, and that’s what these members of Congress… are essentially encouraging.”

The reporter challenged President Trump’s comments, arguing they encouraged political violence, and Leavitt blasted her:

“Why aren’t you talking about what these members of Congress are doing to encourage and incite violence?… They’re suggesting, Nancy, that the president has given illegal orders, which he has not,” Leavitt said. “Every single order that is given to the U.S. military by this Commander in Chief and through this chain of command, through the Secretary of War, is lawful, and the courts have proven that.”

“This administration has an unparalleled record at the Supreme Court,” she added. “Because we are following the laws. We don’t defy court orders. We do things by the book. And to suggest and encourage that active duty service members defy the chain of command is a very dangerous thing for sitting members of Congress to do. And they should be held accountable. And that’s what the president wants to see.”

Later in the briefing, another reporter circled back to the issue and flat-out called out the hypocrisy festering in that room — the same crowd that would be shrieking at the top of their lungs if the roles were reversed:

“And if this were Republican Members of Congress who were encouraging members of the military and members of our U.S. government to defy orders from the President… this entire room would be up in arms,” Leavitt said. “But instead, it is the other way around, and I think that’s quite telling.”

Democrats are a lot of things but they’re not “democratic” and they certainly don’t give two pieces of excrement for the Constitution. This latest video stunt proves that.

But you can’t loathe the “mainstream media” enough for always taking Democrats’ side, even when they’re 100 percent wrong. No wonder herpes is more popular than Democrats and their media buddies.
