Sen. Ron Johnson Criticizes Video as ‘Disgusting’ and ‘Dangerous’

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., sharply criticized a new video released by a group of Democratic lawmakers with military and intelligence backgrounds, telling the publication on Saturday the message was “utterly disgusting” and an attempt to incite “insurrection.” The video urges U.S. service members to refuse unlawful commands from President Donald Trump, stating, “You can refuse illegal order… You must refuse illegal order.” Speaking on “America Right Now,” Johnson condemned the messaging as dangerous and irresponsible. He argued that Democrats are contributing to political unrest and claimed that “violence in our politics today is primarily coming from the left.” Johnson said the lawmakers involved should retract the video and issue an apology, adding, “There’s no room for that type of thing in today’s America. It is just sick.”
