“It is a yes or no question!” Phillip exclaimed.

Schilling, as soon as once more, responded with something however these phrases, saying, “I think—” earlier than Phillip minimize him off.

“Is it sedition to tell the people to follow the law?” Phillip requested. “I’m just saying you’re not willing to say ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ because it’s very obvious that the answer is no. Because if that were the case, then I think that … we would be executing people left, right and center.”

Schilling — who heads the conservative political advocacy group American Principles Project — remained unwavering in his indirectness, as a substitute complaning, “But they’re calling for the military to undermine the commander in chief.”
