In a powerful and necessary condemnation, former Trump White House adviser Stephen Miller delivered a blistering takedown of Democratic lawmakers for their seditious video encouraging the U.S. military to defy President Donald Trump. Appearing on the Will Cain Show on FOX News, Miller left no room for ambiguity, correctly labeling the Democrats’ actions for what they are: a direct assault on the chain of command and the will of the American people.
The controversy stems from a video, featured by Democratic Senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, along with several House members, that brazenly tells members of the military and intelligence community it is acceptable to refuse so-called ‘illegal’ orders from their Commander-in-Chief. This dangerous rhetoric, parroted uncritically by much of the liberal media, is a blatant attempt to undermine the authority of a duly elected president.
Stephen Miller, with characteristically sharp clarity, eviscerated this pathetic display of partisan insurrection. He did not mince words in calling out the grave nature of this offense, highlighting the profound hypocrisy of a political party that endlessly prattles on about “threats to democracy” while actively engaging in sedition.
MILLER: “It is insurrection, plainly, directly. Without question. It’s a general call for rebellion from the CIA and the armed services of the United States by Democrat lawmakers saying that you have not only the right but the duty and the obligation to defy orders of the commander-in-chief.”
Miller’s analysis is unassailable. This is not a mere policy disagreement; it is a calculated call for mutiny. The Democrats, in their unhinged hatred for President Trump, have abandoned all pretense of respecting democratic institutions and are now openly urging a rebellion within the very institutions sworn to protect our nation.
This despicable ploy was further exposed by the New York Post editorial board, which rightly slammed the Democrats for “playing a dangerous game.” The board identified the video’s true intent, noting it was a “disgrace that these veterans are milking their own service to rally partisan support,” while insinuating, without a shred of evidence, that President Trump would issue unconstitutional orders.
The editorial board correctly pointed out the staggering hypocrisy, stating, “It’s a disgrace that these veterans are milking their own service to rally partisan support (and raise funds down the line, no doubt) by insinuating that the sitting president is ordering service members to violate the Constitution.”

This entire scandal reveals the true character of the modern Democratic Party. While they baselessly accuse President Trump of being a threat, they are the ones actively engaging in subversion. They have no actual policy to critique, so they must invent fictional scenarios and imaginary orders to frighten the public and confuse the brave men and women serving in our armed forces.
Stephen Miller’s righteous fury encapsulates the sentiment of millions of Americans who are sick and tired of the left’s endless attempts to nullify the results of a democratic election. There is no legal or moral justification for elected officials to preemptively instruct the military to disobey its civilian leadership. This act is a betrayal of their oath of office and a stain on the Congress.
The call for these lawmakers to “resign in disgrace” is not just appropriate; it is the minimum acceptable consequence for such a reckless and treasonous act. This incident serves as a stark reminder of why strong, America-first leadership from President Donald Trump is so desperately needed to stand against the ceaseless tide of leftist subversion.
