A group of six Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, who are also veterans, released a video urging service members to resist illegal orders. This action sparked intense criticism from President Trump, who labeled them ‘traitors,’ and War Secretary Pete Hegseth, who called for a review of one senator’s remarks. Houlahan and her colleagues received numerous calls of support from veterans across the U.S., including those from far-flung locations and individuals with various military backgrounds. However, the White House and Hegseth have accused the lawmakers of undermining the chain of command, with the latter labeling them the ‘Seditious Six.’ Meanwhile, several of the lawmakers have faced bomb threats.
