Punishable by DEATH': Trump Floats Execution for Democrats
https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/an-example-must-be-set-trump-calls-for-democrats-who-urged-soldiers-to-disobey-illegal-orders-to-be-arrested-and-put-on-trial/"It's called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand We won't have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET. President DJT," he wrote.
That opening volley was followed up by a number of reposts of comments assailing the Democrats in the video including one which called for them to be hanged as well as a second and third post from Trump himself.
"This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country," argued the president. "Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP??? President DJT"
"SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!" he added in a third post."
* In the United States, sedition is not punishable by death for civilians.
For civilians, U.S. law does not have a specific charge of "sedition" but rather "seditious conspiracy" under 18 U.S. Code 2384.
The maximum penalty for a civilian convicted of seditious conspiracy is a fine and up to 20 years in prison, not death.
Other related federal crimes, such as rebellion or insurrection, carry a maximum of 10 years imprisonment.
