Sen. John Fetterman accuses Trump of 'dangerous rhetoric'

"SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!" Trump declared in a Truth Social post on Thursday.

 In another post earlier Thursday, Trump had asserted, "This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP???" 

Fetterman, who was not among the six lawmakers in the controversial video, responded by condemning the president's rhetoric.

Speaking about the video during an interview Friday on the "Brian Kilmeade Show," Trump said he did not "know about the modern day … but in the old days" such comments would have been "punishable by death."

Trump said he was "not threatening" the lawmakers but believes "they're in serious trouble." He said that they "essentially" told the military not to follow the president's orders and noted that, in his view, the lawmakers had violated the law.

The six Democrats clapped back in a statement on Thursday after Trump slammed them on Truth Social.
