'Rebellion!' Stephen Miller flips out after Dems tell troops to 'refuse illegal orders'
White House adviser Stephen Miller accused Democrats of "rebellion" after they released a video reminding the U.S. military of a duty to "refuse illegal orders."
In a video posted to X on Tuesday, Sens. Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, along with Reps. Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander, Chris Deluzio, and Chrissy Houlahan alleged that "threats to our Constitution" were coming "from right here at home."
"No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution," the lawmakers said.
"It is insurrection, plainly, directly, without question," Miller later told Fox News. "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 that those who carry weapons in America's name should defy their chain of command and engage in open acts of insurrection."
"The CIA, the clandestine service, which isn't even legally authorized to operate in the United States, should engage in, again, acts of rebellion and insurrection," he gasped. "These lawmakers should honestly resign in disgrace and never return to public office again for even daring to think, let alone to say these words and to say them proudly."
Miller insisted that Democrats had created a "dangerous moment" by reminding troops that they should refuse illegal orders from President Donald Trump.
"We have seen the Democratic Party nurse the flames of violence and insurrection against the federal government for the last 10 months. When you see this continuous campaign of violence against ICE officers and Border Patrol agents," he argued. "This is a dangerous moment. You have a political party, an organization, the Democrat Party, and their message is that any action, no matter how unlawful, no matter how dangerous, no matter how much it threatens this constitutional order, is justified if it keeps Democrat policies in effect at any cost."
