CNN's Erin Burnett aired a handful of voicemails left for a Democratic congressman who, along with five other lawmakers, released a video urging members of the military and intelligence agencies to "refuse illegal orders."
The video drew the ire of President Donald Trump, who wrote on Truth Social, "It's called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand - We won't have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET."
Trump also reposted several posts from Truth Social users, including one reading, "HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!"
The six lawmakers in the video were: Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ); Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI); Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO); Chris Deluzio (D-PA); Maggie Goodlander (D-NH); and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA). All are veterans of the armed forces or the CIA.
On Tuesday's OutFront , Burnett read Trump's post and said, "The threats from the president of the United States do have real and alarming consequences. Just listen to the threats that Congressman Jason Crow, who's part of the video, says that he's received."
She then played clips from three callers:
CALLER 1: You deserve to die. I hope you all get murdered. I hope you all get f***ing throat-slashed.
CALLER 2: You disgraced America, and I pray you die today, but not before your family does. I pray they die a painful death.
CALLER 3: Hurry up and die, you worthless f***ing traitor.
"It's pretty incredible to think about that," Burnett reacted. "Think about people that would call and say that."
She went on to note that the six Democrats targeted by Trump have received threats since. Slotkin appeared on MS NOW last week and said she received an "instantaneous" increase in threats after Trump's post.
"Capitol Police came to us and said, 'We're gonna put you on 24/7 security,'" she stated. "We've got law enforcement out in front of my house."
The FBI is investigating the members in the video.

What are the odds Trump will say something? 100 -1 ?
Has Chuck Schumer denounced this? Has Mark Kelly?
WTF R U diverting to ?
Trump is again the cause of threatened VIOLENCE, that his previous calls for have been answered, LOUDLY !
If you ever watched the hearings investigating January 6th, you would see what Trumps words can achieve, all with a message to again deceive, it IS AGAINST the LAW to obey unlawful commands, even if from this POS potUS
Right. It's the Democratic politicians who've been shot, not Trump.
good for you guys, you found some threats you can rage against and blame it all on MAGA while you ignore your own violence, per usual.
Do progressives really expect anyone to take their performative outrage against violence progressives seriously at this point? We've all seen how so many reacted to actual murder.
How about check out some semi unbiased news sites, and find out the TRUTH, the TRUTH being by FAR, the political violence has been done, been done by far, by the 'right'.
You forget there was no violence on Jan 6th, there were tours of the nation's capitol building. The tour even led the MAGA shaman into the seat at the podium of the US Senate. They were just interested youth learning about their government.
They were told they were not allowed to watch the hearings. They didn't, and most probably still haven't, afraid of the truth through the clearings, that remain obscured buy the bought and brought, for and forth, to direct, a wrong destination, yet, would be left destined to that wrong destination if Trump is to lead this nation, cause he can only go down from here. It may get bumpy, but I believe, people, good people will elevate US up this steep pull on a chords frayed, yet knot A
It was a Day of Love. Ask any maga.
Correct.
Democratic Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed.
Democratic Minnesota state senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were shot and seriously injured.
Sen. Kelly's wife, Rep. Gabby Giffords, was shot and severely injured.
Does anyone really expect reactionaries to express any outrage over violence against Democrats? Definitely not. Everyone expects many, if not most, right wingers to support and encourage it. We've all seen how so many of them react to violence against Democrats. Their jokes about Paul Pelosi getting his skull bashed in were hilarious, weren't they? They thought Trump and Don Jr.'s jokes about an elderly man getting his attacked with a hammer by one of their own were especially funny.
what does this have to do with John's seed?
We know what magas are all about.
When Donald Trump eventually calls for Americans who protest him declaring that elections are canceled to be shot dead maga will still be leaving the same messages. That’s where we’re at. He has already set the tone for this by claiming that if you vote for him you’ll never have to worry about voting again. That’s how he works - just yell the quiet part out loud, knowing that the citizenry will wave it off as rhetoric.
