“Our #servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the #Constitution & obligation to follow only lawful orders. It is not only the right thing to do, but also our duty,”the #Democrats said in the stmnt.
"But this isn’t about any one of us. This isn’t about politics. This is about who we are as Americans. Every American must unite & condemn the President’s calls for our #murder & #PoliticalViolence. This is a time for moral clarity."
Democratic Sen Ruben Gallego, a #Marine #combat #veteran, slammed #Trump's comments, telling ABC News that the president "doesn't understand the military."
"He thinks the #military is one of his personal little play toys," said Gallego, who was not in the #Democrats' video. "He, for some reason, thinks that men & women upholding their oath is a contradiction to him as commander in chief — which, again, tells you he doesn't really understand his role."
