Deluzio responds to Trump calling for his death and arrest

Story by Curtis Walsh – Beaver County Radio. Published November 20, 2025 5:03 P.M.

(Washington, D.C.) President Donald Trump spoke out Thursday against Democratic lawmakers who suggested the U.S. military refuse illegal orders.

Trump wrote “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”, on a Truth Social post in response to the video made by six Congress members, including Chris Deluzio.

Those in the video previously served in military and intelligence, and urged those currently serving to “refuse illegal orders.”

Deluzio issued a video response just after 4pm Thursday.

The transcript of that video is as follows:

“Congressman Chris Deluzio here. Today, Donald Trump called for my death.

He called for the arrest and the death of me and several of my colleagues, all of who have either worn the uniform or either served in intelligence services.

He didn’t want to hear the basic lesson that we know about our Constitution, about the oath we all take when we serve一whether in Congress一or your first day out at boot camp.

These are bedrock principles in our country, that you follow lawful orders, that the oath to the Constitution, and that the loyalty to the Constitution comes above all.

I’m not going to be intimidated, I’m not going to be deterred from my duty to represent the people who sent me to Congress, and to uphold my duty to the Constitution.

Don’t Give Up the Ship.”

Deluzio serves in Congress for Pennsylvania’s 17th District, representing Beaver and Allegheny Counties.
