> Speaking to Rachel Maddow on MS Now, Kelly was asked if the situation makes him stressed. “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 4 times built by the lowest bidder. And my wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others,” Kelly said.
I like Mark Kelly a lot. But I get really frustrated with how our elected officials only call it political violence when it affects them or rich people.
What is happening to immigrants and trans people right now: Also political violence. What is happening to disabled people right now: Also political violence. When people’s lives are less important than healthcare company earnings: Also political violence. But it’s not addressed as such. Only when politicians or rich people face this stuff is it political violence.
We are in a fascist regime Senator Kelly.
The number of foreign accounts on social media dressing up as American veterans calling him a traitor and demanding a court martial is particularly telling.
They really (for some reason) need for people to believe that there is no such thing as an unlawful order.
Trump and his disgusting cult are not civilized! War hero Mark Kelly telling troops to not obey any illegal orders is civilized! Yeah it’s that simple!
if your country is going after an ex fighter pilot, astronaut, war veteran, senate congress men for repeating the ucmj article 92 and you are okay with this? It might be time for you to take a long look in the mirror and ask yourself how I got this brainwashed by republican propaganda.
**UCMJ Article 92** addresses the **failure to obey lawful orders or regulations**. Under this article, service members are required to obey lawful orders given by superiors, and failure to do so can result in serious consequences, including court-martial. The order must be lawful and given by someone with the authority to do so, and it retains validity even after a change of command. Violations can be considered a dereliction of duty, and punishment is determined by a court-martial. For the legal text, you can refer to 10 U.S.C. § 892

This guy is a *real* patriot, with real bravery.
Remember what they did to John McCain. Whether or not I agreed with his politics, he was also a legit badass American hero that Trump drug through the mud during the last years of his life.
I will never have respect for these fucking goons.
Also the veterans that support him have no loyalty to their brother and sisters. They should look in the mirror. Who are you that some talking heads can make you turn your back on your people. Disgusting
I wish that I had so MANY MEDALS, the secretary of defense felt the need to post the fact they are out of order on my uniform not understanding that photography REVERSES IMAGES!
Fuck yes
Mark Kelly is a true American hero.
Fuck that pig in the White House.
Mark Kelly is an American hero.
Donald Trump is a draft dodger and convicted criminal and liar.
Pete Hegseth is a DUI hire and not qualified for his job.
This is a pr failure by Mark’s team. Watch how AOC lets his BS just roll off and doesn’t respond formally. If you respond like this, like it’s serious, then you make it real. Leave it alone man. There’s no debating fascists, stop trying. FFS this strategy is exactly why we’re here to begin with. Not everything everybody says deserves a response. Love Mark Kelly, one my favorite current politicians. But stop feeding the trolls this is a recipe for losing elections..
