We recently highlighted a former CIA officer who appeared on FOX News and said that when Senator Elissa Slotkin put out the video about the U.S. Military defying supposedly ‘illegal orders’ from President Trump, that she knew exactly what she was doing.
It is becoming much easier to believe this now that this idea has had a chance to bleed into our national discussion. Liberals in the media are starting to give the game away.
See if you can spot the common theme in these two media moments from just the last two days.
On The View, Joy Behar said this, via FOX News:
Joy Behar invokes Nazi Nuremberg trials in warning to service members following ‘illegal orders’“The View” co-host Joy Behar invoked the Nazi Nuremberg trials on Tuesday in her warning to service members who may be following “illegal orders” from the Trump administration.While discussing the Pentagon’s investigation into the members of Congress featured in the video, Behar recommended the audience watch a recently released film called “Nuremberg,” a movie based on the Allied trials of Nazi leaders after World War II.”It’s about the Nuremberg trials of the Nazis after World War II — and following orders is not a defense. So these soldiers have to pay attention,” she warned.Before delivering her warning to service members about “following orders,” Behar played a clip of Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., one of the six members of Congress featured in the “illegal orders” video, explaining why lawmakers decided to release it.
Here’s the clip:
Meanwhile, over on the newly rebranded MSNOW, former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was saying this, via Twitchy:
Psaki and MSNOW amplify the ‘Dems will prosecute anyone taking part in the Mark Kelly investigation’ intimidation campaign:Psaki: “What do you think the consequences should be for people who are abiding by following these steps from the Commander In Chief?”Kirschner: “They’re following unlawful commands from Donald Trump. And if you’re committing offenses and your defense is going to be ‘I was just following orders’ — You know, that didn’t work out so well at Nuremberg.”“When the rule of law comes back into the light of day, that will have to be tackled. They’ll have to be held accountable for those abuses.”
Watch the clip:
None of this is a coincidence, and the message being sent could not be any clearer. The left is sending a warning to members of the military. You can obey Trump if you want, just know that you could end up being judged just like the Nazis at Nuremberg.
Writer and literary critic Walter Kirn does a regular podcast with journalist Matt Taibbi. He has been on to this from the beginning. Listen to what he says about Senator Mark Kelly in this video.
I’ll leave you with this tweet from Kirn.
