These brave Democrats recently released a video directed at service members, urging them to refuse any illegal orders.
That was enough for Donald Trump to call for their public executions.
Let me be clear. Telling service members to refuse illegal orders is not sedition. It is the foundation of our military code. It is the backbone of our democracy. It is what separates us from authoritarian regimes.
So, naturally, Donald Trump will not stand for it.
Silence in moments like this is complicity. When a president calls for the execution of political opponents, every leader has a responsibility to speak up.
I’m Jermaine Johnson, and I’m running to be the next Governor of South Carolina.
I wasn’t born into power — I fought my way into it. I'm not a career politician or a wealthy insider.
I'm a husband, father, and fighter who knows what it’s like to grow up with nothing and still keep pushing forward.
