Vice Mayor Cesar Zepeda and Councilmember Jamelia Brown plan to bring forward a second censure resolution that would admonish Martinez after he reshared posts to his LinkedIn account that contained conspiracy theories about a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Australia's Bondi Beach. If approved, Martinez also would be required to undertake meaningful engagement with the city's Jewish community, including religious figures, and participate in at least 16 hours of antisemitism training.
Pete Hegseth is coming after what I earned through my twenty-five years of military service, in violation of my rights as an American, as a retired veteran, and as a United States Senator whose job is to hold him-and this or any administration-accountable," Kelly said in a statement.
After learning of the censure, Kelly called Hegseth the most unqualified secretary of defense in our country's history and vowed to fight this with everything I've got. Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn't like, they will come after them the same way, Kelly said in a statement. It's outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.
