CNN Host Grills MAGA Guest Over Trump Threats: 'It Is A Yes Or No Question!'

Conservative activist Terry Schilling on Saturday appeared to struggle to provide a simple answer to a direct question from Abby Phillip.

CNN host Abby Phillip on Saturday demanded a “yes or no” answer from conservative activist Terry Schilling, who defended President Donald Trump, despite the president’s suggestion that Democratic veterans in Congress have engaged in sedition against the U.S. and endorsing a post calling for their execution.

“Trump thinks that there is a problem of political violence in this country,” said Phillip during a “CNN Saturday Morning Table for Five” discussion with Schilling. “Why on Earth are comments like these acceptable to you?”

Schilling said sedition is “a lawful process,” and that anyone accused of it has to be “tried and convicted” in court. He also said Trump is “not encouraging people” to commit political violence, despite his egregious social media spree to the contrary on Thursday.

Trump decried “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR” coming from Democratic Sens. Elissa Slotkin (Mich.) and Mark Kelly (Ariz.), as well as Reps. Chris Deluzio (Pa.), Maggie Goodlander (N.H.), Chrissy Houlahan (Pa.) and Jason Crow (D-Colo.), and said it’s “punishable by DEATH!”

Those Democrats, all of whom have backgrounds in the military or intelligence community, published a video on Tuesday reminding military members that they can “refuse illegal orders,” as “no one has to carry out orders that violate the law.”
