As you know, the Democrats who participated in a video advising servicemembers to disobey "illegal orders" are now playing the victim after President Trump posted about the possible penalties for sedition.
If you were busy doing other things this week, here's the video featuring, among others, Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan:

Some Democrats are now backing off a little bit, while others are making it abundantly what this really was: A TDS-driven stunt for attention and lib media consumption. Sen. Slotkin's post about how the "story is moving" seems to confirm that:
You know a story is moving when TMZ calls. Thanks to Chuck, and Harvey, who served in the Air National Guard, for having me on. pic.twitter.com/ZMHacmbog2

All of the Democrats involved in the video are going to end up on Colbert and Kimmel to accept accolades, aren't they?
So this wasn’t an effort to seek attention? Totally checks out. https://t.co/swu8Dz2epW

We're shocked. Shocked!
They’ll talk about anything but the orders they claim are illegal. https://t.co/xwdPlmaYtn

Yeah, they don't really know how to answer questions about that, so TMZ it is!
