Hold onto your hats, folks—six Democratic senators are stirring up a storm by urging military personnel to defy President Trump’s orders, claiming they might be unlawful, even as one admits no such orders exist.
According to Breitbart, six Democrats, including Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, have launched a troubling campaign to sow doubt among our troops, while Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma fires back, accusing them of playing political games with national security.
This saga began when these senators suggested that military members should resist directives from the commander-in-chief, painting a picture of potential illegality despite having no evidence to back it up.
Sen. Slotkin, in a stunning admission, conceded that President Trump has never issued an illegal order, which raises the question: Why the push to undermine him? It’s a head-scratcher, especially when Sen. Mullin points out that military morale is currently soaring to heights not seen in decades. Why poke the bear when things are going well?
Mullin isn’t mincing words, alleging that this move by the Democrats is a calculated effort to erode trust in leadership for partisan gain. There’s no sugarcoating it—this looks like politics at its most cynical.
“We’re seeing morale in the military at the highest it’s been in decades, and you have these six — because of their hatred towards the commander-in-chief, goes out there and tries to undermine our president and sow dissent inside our men and women in uniform for no other reason, but for political reasons,” Mullin said.
If that doesn’t sound like a direct attack on unity, what does?
Adding fuel to the fire, Sen. Kelly is already under Pentagon scrutiny, and Mullin backs Secretary Hegseth’s actions, insisting the investigation should dig even deeper. It’s about time someone held these folks to account.
Mullin isn’t stopping there—he’s calling for Congress to launch a full probe into all six senators, regardless of their past service in military or intelligence roles. Fair is fair, and no one gets a free pass.
“What Congress needs to do is one, we also should open an investigation, because all these individuals, all six, regardless if you served in the military, or you served for an intelligent agency, or you didn’t serve at all, you should still be held at the same standard as anybody,” Mullin argued. That’s a call for equality under the law if ever there was one.
He’s also pushing for censure and a public apology, arguing that these senators have crossed a serious line by meddling with military loyalty. It’s not just about politics; it’s about respect for the chain of command.
Let’s not forget the broader context—Mullin notes that the Democratic base currently holds the lowest approval rating since the party’s founding. Could this be a desperate attempt to rally support by any means necessary?
While the Democrats may argue they’re protecting the military from hypothetical overreach, their actions risk fracturing trust at a time when unity is paramount. It’s a gamble that could backfire spectacularly.
For now, Mullin stands firm, supporting efforts to hold these senators accountable while emphasizing the need to preserve the military’s strength and morale. If we’re to navigate these choppy waters, it’ll take more than political stunts—it’ll take principle.
