Accidental Confession: Dem in Video Commanding Troops to Disobey Orders Just Confirmed She Knows She Committed Sedition

Rep. Chrissy Houlahan deserves at least one point for honesty: unlike Sen. Elissa Slotkin, she didn’t try to dress up her call for U.S. service members to defy President Donald J. Trump with a Hollywood reference.

That, however, is where the credit ends. Houlahan — a Pennsylvania Democrat and former Air Force officer — spent the weekend on the flagship channels of MS NOW insisting that the president had “called for her death,” a claim rooted not in fact but in guilt, grievance, or both.

For anyone blessed enough to have missed the now-infamous video, six Democratic lawmakers with military or intelligence backgrounds appeared on camera to urge troops and intelligence officers to ignore “illegal orders.” The insinuation was obvious: they don’t like the Commander-in-Chief, and they want the military to share that sentiment.

“Don’t give up the ship,” one said — a poetic way of telling service members to disregard lawful directives from the elected president of the United States. The group offered no examples of supposed “illegal orders” because they had none.

President Trump responded on Truth Social, branding their conduct “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR BY TRAITORS” and “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”

Slotkin, for her part, backpedaled on ABC, insisting she had no actual evidence of illegal orders but invoking “that Tom Cruise movie.” A flimsy defense if ever there were one.

Houlahan, however, achieved something even more self-damaging during her MS NOW appearances — turning her own argument inside out.

On “Ana Cabrera Reports,” she declared that “the silence of my [Republican] colleagues” was “damning,” adding that the president had called for her death. On “Velshi,” she escalated further, claiming “the president of the United States called for the death of six members of Congress” and that his reaction was “exactly the reason why, frankly, many of us put out this video.”

But there is a glaring contradiction baked into Houlahan’s entire defense.

If she insists the video was not seditious behavior, then she must also admit the President didn’t call for her death. If she insists he did, then she tacitly concedes the video was, in fact, sedition. She can’t have it both ways — though she certainly tried.

She reached for the familiar Democrat fallback, invoking January 6th and claiming the President was “the author of true sedition and true insurrection.” Convenient, but inaccurate. President Trump called for peaceful protest that day — and the individuals who trespassed faced significant criminal penalties. Democrats even attempted to jail the former President himself.

Houlahan’s argument amounts to this:
“We committed sedition because we think you committed sedition first.”
A defense fit for playground politics, not federal law.

If a case is ever brought — and it should be — her attorneys will likely beg her to stop talking. “My sedition is more honorable than yours” is not a legal strategy.

Her jiu-jitsu logic gets even stranger when she claims that Trump calling out sedition is “exactly the reason” they issued the video. That is essentially telling the judge: “Your honor, I only swung because he defended himself.”

If the Justice Department pursues charges, Houlahan and her colleagues could face potential violations under 18 U.S.C. § 2384 (seditious conspiracy) — the same statute Democrats eagerly wielded against January 6 defendants. Perhaps those defendants can offer her a few survival tips.

And that brings us to the heart of the matter.

Everyday Americans watched Democrats spend four years weaponizing the justice system against a political opponent — President Trump — and anyone even tangentially connected to January 6. Yet when six Democrats openly encourage servicemembers to disobey the Commander-in-Chief, corporate media shrugs, nods, and calls it noble.

That double standard is exactly why millions of Americans have lost confidence in the system. The powerful skate by, the politically favored receive cover, and regular citizens are expected just to accept it.

Rep. Houlahan and her colleagues didn’t just reveal their disdain for President Trump — they confirmed what voters fear most:
that justice applies only to those without connections, without power, and without the right political views.
