After watching the clip, Scarborough torched Slotkin's response as the wrong answer and said he was surprised that she'd agreed to go on television to discuss the video without preparing a clear response to that question. Scarborough first took aim at the senator's use of Caribbean strikes and Venezuela to justify herself, arguing that the president has wide latitude on actions such as that:
We are veterans and national security professionals who love this country and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath lasts a lifetime, and we intend to keep it. No threat, intimidation, or call for violence will deter us from that sacred obligation, began the Democrats' statement, adding: What's most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law.
An internal email sent on Wednesday to the 1st Fighter Wing at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, a key Air Force installation in Hampton, Virginia, obtained by The Advocate, confirms the order. In it, Col. Brad S. Huebinger, the wing's commander, wrote that "the Secretary of War has directed that all personnel will either watch the full recording or read the official transcript of his speech and review the policy changes no later than 31 October 2025."
