During a segment on CNN's "The Arena," Representative Jason Crow (D-CO) voiced concerns over President Donald Trump's alleged tactics of "fear and intimidation and threats to silence opposition.
".
This statement came in response to a video in which Democratic lawmakers addressed military personnel about the importance of refusing illegal orders.
Host Kasie Hunt initiated the discussion by referencing President Trump's remarks, which suggested that Crow and his colleagues should face arrest and charges of sedition. Hunt inquired, "I think my question off the top is, how seriously do you take this as a possibility?"
According to Breitbart, Crow responded with a sense of resolve, emphasizing the necessity of taking President Trump's words seriously. He stated, "We have to take everything that Donald Trump says seriously. He throws a lot of stuff out there, but some of the things he carries through on."
Crow, a former Army Ranger, underscored his commitment to the Constitution, declaring, "Im not going to be intimidated. Im not going to be threatened. I took an oath to the Constitution." He further criticized the notion that reminding individuals to adhere to the law and the Constitution could be perceived as criminal in what he termed "Trump world."
Crow expressed his determination to resist any attempts to silence dissent, asserting, "What he is trying to do is hes trying to use fear and intimidation and threats to silence opposition. And if hes successful in doing that, we are all lost."
In his remarks, Crow reaffirmed his dedication to leading and upholding constitutional principles, vowing to "stand up and do whats necessary to uphold the Constitution now and always." His comments reflect a broader concern about the potential erosion of democratic norms and the importance of safeguarding individual freedoms against perceived authoritarian tendencies.
