20 OUTLETSOutlets agree Trump responded to a video by six Democratic lawmakers urging service members to refuse illegal orders by calling their conduct seditious and saying it was punishable by death. Left-leaning outlets portray the remarks as threats that endanger lawmakers and fault Republicans for not speaking out. Center outlets largely report the dispute, lawmakers’ responses and security concerns, though some opinion coverage sharply condemns Trump. Right-leaning outlets split between echoing Trump’s accusation or casting Democrats’ safety concerns as an overreaction and reporting criticism alongside Trump’s defense.
