Sedition is the word of the day, thanks to a video put out by senators and members of Congress urging members of the military to defy illegal orders from the Trump administration. What illegal orders? They can't say. As Cynical Publius explained, they're not trying to remind service members to defy illegal orders; they're trying to convince service members that the orders being given to them are illegal.
As we reported, CNN's Jake Tapper chipped in with his level-headed take worthy of a cable news anchor:
Update: now he’s suggesting the Democratic lawmakers should be executed. https://t.co/pGDmb2bBCC pic.twitter.com/MqJTIWwUh9

No, he's suggesting that the Democratic lawmakers not commit acts of sedition.
To clear things up, Reuters reports that, according to the White House, President Trump does not want to execute members of Congress.
Per @Reuters: TRUMP DOES NOT WANT TO EXECUTE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, WHITE HOUSE SAYS

Ed O'Keefe, CBS News White House correspondent, was good enough to pass that along.
I wish he would quit teasing us.

And the White House was already dragging the gallows out of the storage basement.
Same ol Trump. Get everyone's hopes up then pull the rug

Most of O'Keefe's followers are suggesting that Trump is actually sending a message to his January 6 insurrectionist buddies to hang the seditionists for him. The funniest ones are mad at O'Keefe for "sanewashing" Trump's post after he was so tough on President Joe Biden during his administration.
Or just maybe, Trump was trying to point out the seriousness of the crime.
