CNN’s Kaitlan Collins displayed some intentional obtuseness on Tuesday’s edition of The Source when she observed that the White House has not attacked Republican veterans’ rebuttal video to Democrats telling the troops to disobey illegal orders from President Trump. Despite the differences between the two videos, Collins falsely said they were “saying the same thing” about the need to follow the law and suggested people were being hypocritical by not accusing the Republicans of sedition.
After playing the Democrats’ video, Collins summarized, “Their message was to obey the law. And agree with the video or why they put it out or not, angering the president is obviously not illegal. But he has plainly taken it as an affront to his authority and has accused those Democrats, subsequently, of seditious behavior, reminding everyone that that is punishable by death, as the president has on Truth Social.
Collins then read a statement from the Democrats involved before moving on to the GOP rebuttal, “One thing worth noting tonight is how similar that video that you just saw, where Democrats are telling troops they must refuse an unlawful order, is to the rebuttal that we saw from these Republicans.”
