From Fox News: A Senate Republican known for breaking with the Trump administration praised a grand jury’s decision not to indict several congressional Democrats who urged service members to refuse what they described as “illegal orders.”
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., applauded a Washington, D.C., grand jury’s decision to reject an indictment against six congressional Democrats who last year called on service members to refuse what they characterized as illegal orders under the Trump administration.
“Political lawfare waged by either side undermines America’s criminal justice system, which is the gold standard of the world,” Tillis said in a post on X. “Thankfully in this instance, a jury saw the attempted indictments for what they really were. Political lawfare is not normal, not acceptable, and needs to stop.”
It’s not the first time Tillis has bucked the administration. He has placed holds on future Homeland Security nominees, pledged to block President Donald Trump’s pick to replace outgoing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, and has been a vocal critic of the president’s advisors, including White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller.

Tillis is being slammed on social media for his comment. Here’s just a small sampling:
You are a complete POS! Were you sleep through the 4 years of the Biden administration?

A liberal jury found six government officials guilty of sedition innocent. Justice has not been served, and this pays the way you prefer sedition and treason.

It would be nice if you stopped what you are doing, tow the line until your replacement arrives on Jan 3rd 2027, then go quietly into that good night. You have not represented the people of NC in the manner which was owed & due. Lies & deceit are your calling card. Farewell.

You’re a traitor, an idiot, and can’t be out of office fast enough! Activist judges, constant venue shopping, and the left being allowed to corrupt it beyond belief has left our justice system in shambles – all while you have been in office and done nothing about any of it. 🖕
