A video created by six US lawmakers, dubbed the 'Seditious Six', is facing backlash after a shooting in Washington DC left two National Guard members critically injured. The November 26 incident occurred just blocks from the White House, where President Donald Trump was not present. The lawmakers, including Senator Mark Kelly and Representative Chris Deluzio, among others, made a video stating that service members need not follow 'illegal' orders. Trump had previously called the video 'dangerous' and 'seditious'. Social media users are linking the video to the violence, with many calling for the lawmakers to be held accountable. One user wrote, 'These people called for violence and made the hint. Today, some leftist took them up on it.' The suspect in the shooting, identified as Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is in custody. The attack has been described as a 'targeted' one, with the suspect ambushing National Guard members before being subdued. Lawmakers are condemning the attack, with Senator Kelly saying he and his wife are 'praying for their recovery.' The incident has sparked a debate about the role of the lawmakers' video in the shooting, with some calling it 'seditious' and others defending their right to free speech. As the investigation continues, the nation is left wondering if the video played a part in the violence that unfolded in the nation's capital.
