Jesse Watters asked White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller on Fox News what consequences should follow for the six Democratic lawmakers who appeared in a video urging military and intelligence personnel to “refuse illegal orders.”
Miller said their actions constituted a serious breach and should be handled under federal law and military justice codes.
Watters opened the segment by asking, “Mr. Miller, what should happen to the seditious six?”
Miller responded that the conduct shown in the video amounted to a coordinated effort aimed directly at CIA officers and military personnel.
“Well, they should be held accountable under the law and under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for a seditious conspiracy against the United States of America,” Miller said.
“This is completely open and shut straightforward.”
Miller questioned why the group of lawmakers — each with either CIA or military experience — would produce and distribute a video urging personnel to evaluate the legality of orders on their own rather than through established procedures.
This Could Be the Most Important Video Gun Owners Watch All Year
“Why would six members of Congress selecting specifically for individuals with a CIA or military background record, a carefully written, carefully produced, slickly edited video messaging directly to members of our clandestine services and our armed forces, telling them to disobey orders from their superiors, telling them that they should individually determine whether an order is legal or illegal and defy it,” Miller said.
Miller noted that the duties carried out by the CIA and the Armed Forces involve high-stakes decision-making.
“The CIA engages in covert missions all over the world involving life and death decisions. The Armed Forces launches life taking missions time and time again. They carry weapons. They control drones, they control missiles, they work on nuclear submarines,” he said.
He argued that introducing doubt within the chain of command creates instability inside institutions that depend on strict operational discipline.
According to Miller, the message was designed to encourage internal revolt.
“For what purpose would you ever deliver this message? As you said, it’s to create a color revolution. It is the CIA playbook for trying to foment insurrection from within the military and within the CIA,” he said.
Miller referenced reactions inside the military after the killing of activist Charlie Kirk earlier this year, saying it pointed to a larger concern.
“Look we saw after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, Jesse members of the Armed Forces openly celebrating his murder,” he said.
“So think about that for a second. You have people in the armed forces. It could be a tiny, tiny percentage, but who celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk and then now they’re getting a message from Kelly and from other members of Congress saying, defy your commanders, rise up and defy your superiors.”
He said the rhetoric is dangerous when directed toward individuals with access to weapons and classified operations.
“That kind of language will get people killed. It endangers our national security. It is dangerously radicalizing, and it has all of the evidence of willfulness and intent,” Miller said.
He also pointed to the lawmakers’ public interviews following release of the video.
“And when they go on TV and they say, We can’t name what order is illegal, that proves the point. It was never about the law. It was breaking down the chain of command,” he said.
Miller broadened his criticism to the Democratic Party as a whole. “The Democrat Party is openly engaged every day in trying to tear down democracy, whether it be judges who are binding the President with unlawful orders, releasing violent criminals back onto the street, trying to cement and protect the illegal alien invasion of America and now fomenting rebellion inside the ranks of our armed forces and CIA,” he said.
