Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., issued a stark warning to U.S. military personnel on Monday, cautioning that “there will be consequences” if they allow Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., to be court-martialed over a video urging service members to “refuse illegal orders” from President Donald Trump.
According to Fox News, Gallego’s comments came hours after the Department of War announced on X that it had opened a formal review into allegations of misconduct against Kelly, a retired Navy captain.
The video, released earlier this month, featured Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers delivering a message aimed at active-duty troops.
Speaking with CNN’s Kasie Hunt, Gallego said he trusted the military and the justice system to deal with the situation appropriately. But he also stressed that senior officers understood the potential backlash if they attempted to “railroad” a sitting U.S. senator.
“Donald Trump is going to be gone in a couple of years,” Gallego said. “And if you’re part of the military that is going after sitting senators, sitting members of Congress, and part of the weaponization of government, there will be consequences, without a doubt.”
