Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., appeared on MS NOW's "The Rachel Maddow Show" on Monday, where he responded to the Pentagon's announcement that it has opened a formal review into allegations of misconduct over a video calling on service members to "refuse illegal orders."
On Monday, the Pentagon announced its investigation into Kelly, a retired Navy captain, and said it may call the senator back to active duty to face court-martial proceedings or other administrative actions under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
When asked by Maddow about the Pentagon's investigation, Kelly said, "Well, Rachel, I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. And in response to that, Donald Trump said, I should be executed, I should be hanged. I should be prosecuted."

The democrat cries out in pain while striking you.
Kelly is the poster boy for a conceited asshole.
He strongly resembles the Vindmans…..
He won’t be intimidated
My bet is his house and personal effects have been turned upside down and he s so scared he wishes he were a stranded astronaut in space right now.
But what do I know? Just common sense. He’s in on a pretty disruptive conspiracy
I think the only thing left is the duel.
He’s posturing for 2028. Showing the leftist rabble he’s fearlessly ant-Trump. Remember its wide open for the Ratters! Unless you think Kackles, Newsum and Waltz have it locked up. I hope the administration doesn’t fall for these feeble tricks to generate PR and “oppressed anti-Trump martyrdom “. Some things are just bestie ignored!
Hes skipoing over the context for his comments. The context is he believes Trump either is currently or will ask them to break the law.
The comments weren’t offered for no reasons at all, the implications are very clear.
Backpedaling looks so awkward.
Yeah I never heard him demanding they bring those two down.
I couldn’t give a hoot if he’s intimidated. He needs to be imprisoned
Hes also been a massive (@hole) anti 2A advocate.
So his defense is “orange man bad”?
I am so sick of people trying to skirt the law or antagonize people with carefully worded statements so they can deny wrong doing later. He knew exactly what he was encouraging people to do and now is upset he got caught.
What a duplicitous ass
Trumps smack down made Kelly a hero.
Mark Kelly was the top fundraiser on a Democratic donation-processing platform Tuesday morning as the Arizona senator faced threats of retribution from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over a recent video criticizing unlawful military orders.
Newsweak
Mark, for what it is worth, I agree with Trump far more than Trump.
“pecker head”
Has to skin it back to talk. Looks like a prick with ears.

I’m sure MS COW thinks he’s the wisest person short of Allah,
but I’m not buying in.
Other members of the military (or a military past), have
railed on the guy. They’re not to reserved about it either.
