CLAIM

Media Misrepresents and Exaggerates President Trump’s Calls for Democrat Accountability

CATEGORY

THE OFFENSE

The media misrepresented President Trump’s call for Members of Congress to be held accountable for inciting sedition by saying that he called for their “execution.”

THE TRUTH

The Democrats and Fake News Media subversively implied that President Trump had issued illegal orders to service members. Every order President Trump has issued has been lawful. It is dangerous for sitting Members of Congress to incite insubordination in the United States’ military, and President Trump called for them to be held accountable.

KEY POINTS

• Democrats released a video calling for service members to disobey their chain of command, and in turn, implied President Trump had issued illegal orders.
• President Trump has never issued an illegal order. The Fake News knew that, but ran with the story anyway.
