"My husband @CaptMarkKelly is a 25-year Navy combat pilot veteran. He served our country with strength, courage, and integrity, dedicating his career to protecting us and upholding our constitution, wrote Giffords on X, adding: Today, the President of the United States called him a traitor and demanded he be executed. It is dangerous and wrong. Americans of all political beliefs need to stand up and say so."
"Trump later reposted a social media user saying to Hang them. Sen. Kelly also replied on social media, writing, I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn't understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it."
President Donald Trump accused Sen. Mark Kelly and five other Democrats of seditious behavior and called for their execution after the politicians urged military members not to follow illegal orders. The president also reposted a social media message that said "Hang them." Sen. Kelly recounted his military service and warned that a president calling for his execution makes everyone less safe. Former Rep. Gabby Giffords, shot in 2011, described the execution demand as dangerous and wrong. House Democratic leaders condemned the threatening language.
