A military veteran serving as a Congressional representative clashed with Fox News host Martha MacCallum on Wednesday over whether military members are allowed to disobey illegal orders.
Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO), a former Army ranger who completed three tours of duty, and MacCallum discussed Rep. Elissa Slotkin's (D-MI) comments from earlier in the day on her show "The Story."
