Fox's Trey Gowdy Defends Trump for Suggesting Democrats Who Made Video Should Be Executed: I'm Sure He Meant After a Trial'

"On Tuesday, those lawmakers all of whom served in the military or the intelligence services released a video telling Americans currently serving in those capacities to refuse illegal orders. The Democrats in the video are: Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ); Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI); Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO); Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA); Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-NH); Rep Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA). You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders, the lawmakers said, reading lines from a joint statement."

"I'm sure he meant after a trial by your peers, a jury trial by your peers, and after you have been found guilty, Gowdy said. I mean, it was a stupid video. Look, you can't get put to death for making a stupid video, or I'd be dead. I understand why the president is upset. It was a dumb video. I would advise him to ignore it."

"Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand We won't have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET. President DJT. This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country, the president said in a second post. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP??? President DJT In a third post, the president wrote, SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!"

Six Democratic lawmakers with military or intelligence backgrounds released a video urging Americans currently serving in the military and intelligence communities to refuse illegal orders, stating, "You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders." President Trump posted on Truth Social calling their statements "seditious behavior," urged that each be arrested and put on trial, and characterized the conduct as punishable by death. He reposted other calls for indictment and violent rhetoric. Fox News contributor Trey Gowdy criticized the lawmakers and defended Trump’s reaction while calling the video "stupid" and advising the president to ignore it after due process.
