Mark Kelly Says He Only Learned About Pete Hegseth's Push to Court-Martial Him From X
"Kelly, in a video posted by Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) last month, told service members that threats to the Constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but right here at home. The other Democrats in the video were Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO), and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA). Those lawmakers served in the Navy, Army, Air Force, and Central Intelligence Agency."
"The court-martial, Hegseth notified me in a tweet. I mean, how ridiculous is this? That this guy, I mean, it's not a normal process, [it] doesn't make any sense. He tweeted something, that's how I got notified. That's all I've heard from the Navy, Kelly said. And that says everything about Pete Hegseth. He was referring to an X post from the Department of War on November 24, which said it was conducting a thorough review to see if a court-martial was warranted."
Sen. Mark Kelly discovered a potential court-martial notification via an X post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Kelly criticized Hegseth's approach and leadership of the armed forces. The notification followed a video in which Kelly and five other Democrats urged service members to refuse illegal orders. The video featured lawmakers with prior military or intelligence service and emphasized that threats to the Constitution can originate domestically. The Department of Defense announced a review to determine whether a court-martial was warranted. President Trump publicly condemned the video and called for punishment of the lawmakers involved.
