Mark Kelly Not Intimidated by Video Probe

Sen. 👤Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) said Monday night he is not intimidated by being under investigation by the Department of War.

The Pentagon announced Kelly was being investigated for “serious allegations of misconduct.”

The news came from the DOW in the form of a post on X, days after Kelly and other Democratic lawmakers posted a video stating U.S. service members could refuse illegal orders, IJR previously reported.

Kelly spoke with Rachel Maddow on MS NOW about the situation.

“I’ve had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I’ve been nearly shot down multiple times. I’ve flown a rocket ship into space four times, built by the lowest bidder,” Kelly said. “But I’m not going to be silenced here.

“Is it stressful? I’ve been stressed by things more important than 👤Donald Trump trying to intimidate me into shutting my mouth and not doing my job,” Kelly continued. “He didn’t like what I said. I’m going to show up for work every day, support the constitution, do my job, hold this administration accountable. Hold this president accountable when he is out of line.”

“That’s the responsibility of every U.S. Senator and every member of congress. He’s not going to silence us,” the senator added.

Watch:

Kelly was one of six Democrats who posted a video last week, which was addressed to military members.
