"You will never, ever, ever even be half the man that Sen. Kelly is, Gallego said directly into the camera. You, sir, are a coward! And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. And I can't wait till you no longer are the Secretary of Defense. Gallego, a marine combat veteran, also offered advice for active-duty military to just continue doing your job."
"Let the politicians fight this out. You know what you need to be doing, he continued. You know what is right, what is wrong. And should the moment meet where you find yourself being given an illegal order, then follow your gut, follow your instinct, and do what you're supposed to do to uphold the Constitution of the United States."
Sen. Ruben Gallego publicly attacked Pete Hegseth for pursuing allegations against Sen. Mark Kelly after a Defense Department inquiry and President Trump's calls for a court-martial. Gallego called Hegseth a coward and said Hegseth was following the president's orders, predicting Hegseth would not remain Secretary of Defense. Gallego, a Marine combat veteran, advised active-duty personnel to continue performing their duties, discern right from wrong, and refuse illegal orders. Gallego characterized the actions against Kelly as political intimidation by a desperate figure attempting to distract from personal problems while attacking a decorated patriot.
