The infighting amongst the Left shows no sign of stopping. The Democrat Party is severely fractured.
And a prominent Democrat called out one of their own in a shocking betrayal.
In a display of desperation, a cadre of Democrat lawmakers have released a video that’s nothing short of a call to arms against the duly elected President Donald Trump. These politicians, all with military backgrounds, are openly pushing servicemembers to ignore orders from their commander-in-chief if they deem them unlawful. It’s a blatant attempt to sow chaos in the ranks and undermine the chain of command that keeps the nation secure.
Leading the charge are Senators Elissa Slotkin from Michigan and Mark Kelly from Arizona, joined by Representatives Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan from Pennsylvania, Maggie Goodlander from New Hampshire, and Jason Crow from Colorado. This group of six, hiding behind their veteran status, dropped their incendiary message last week.
The video pulls no punches, accusing the Trump administration of turning the military against everyday Americans. “The administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens,” the Democrat stated. “Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, right now.”
“The threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home,” they declared, as if Trump himself is the villain in some Hollywood thriller.
Hammering home their message, the Democrats repeat their mantra like a broken record: “Our laws are clear: You can refuse illegal orders.”
“You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.”
This kind of rhetoric isn’t just reckless—it’s dangerous. It erodes the trust that’s essential for the military to function, all while these elites sit safely in their congressional offices. But not everyone on the left is buying into this nonsense. Enter Stephen A. Smith, the sports journalist who’s a registered Democrat but isn’t afraid to buck the party line when it stinks.
Smith zeroed in on Senator Mark Kelly, ripping into him for his role in this fiasco. “Respectfully, senator, what the h*ll are you doing looking into the camera and telling military men and women to ignore the commander-in-chief? How dare you? How dare you do that? That’s right, I’m calling it out,” Smith blasted.
Admitting he never wore the uniform himself, Smith leaned on his personal connections to drive the point home. “I never served in the military,” he said. “That’s true. I have family members who did. Some of my best friends have, Marines, Air Force, Navy, Army. I haven’t heard one of them, not one of them, say that was okay. How dare you do that?”
Smith didn’t stop there, questioning whether this borders on something unforgivable, though he stopped short of the harshest labels. “Is it treason? No. Is it punishable by death? It shouldn’t be,” he stated. “So the answer is no. But you know better, Senator Kelly. You know better! How dare you do that?!”
He laid out the proper channels these politicians should use instead of inciting rebellion. “What are you supposed to do? You are a ranking senator. You could go to the Senate, you could go to the House, you could put up — draw up paperwork, you could try to start articles of impeachment if you think there’s something illegal,” Smith argued, exposing the Democrats’ laziness in sticking to the system.
Pointing out their past failures, Smith reminded everyone of the witch hunts they’ve already waged. “I mean, d*mn, it ain’t like y’all haven’t done it before,” he said. “You impeached the man twice. Where did that get you? Guy is behind, back in the White House. Had you left him alone in 2016 and 2020, maybe he wouldn’t be back terrorizing the Democratic Party the way that he is. But you did it! You did it! And here you are again with this nonsense.”
Wrapping up his takedown, Smith emphasized his outsider perspective to highlight just how outrageous this is. “How dare you do that? I’m not a military person, and I know better than that! You don’t tell military men and women to ignore an order from the commander-in-chief. You don’t do that,” he thundered, speaking for millions of Americans who value loyalty and order.
This episode exposes the Democrats’ true colors: they’re so obsessed with stopping Trump that they’ll risk national security.
By urging the military to pick and choose orders, they’re playing with fire, potentially fracturing the very institution that protects Americans from real threats.
Smith’s bold stand shows that not all Democrats are lost causes. It proves that common sense can still pierce through the partisan fog, especially when it comes to respecting the chain of command and the will of the voters who put Trump back in office.
In the end, this video isn’t about defending the Constitution—it’s about subverting a president they can’t beat at the ballot box.
Americans deserve better than these elite games, and voices like Smith’s are a reminder that true patriotism knows no party lines.
