WATCH: Slotkin Highlights 2016 Video, Hegseth says U.S. troops will not follow unlawful orders from the President

WASHINGTON, D.C. –
U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) shared a
2016 video,
first reported in
CNN
,  where Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told an audience that the U.S. military “won’t follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief.” Words remarkably similar to Slotkin’s in a video she posted recently where she simply restated the law.
Major Pete Hegseth, in 2016 said
:
“If you are doing something that is completely unlawful and ruthless then there is a consequence for that. That’s why the military said it won’t follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief. There’s a standard; there’s an ethos; there’s a belief that we are above so many things are enemies or others would do.”
