Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) is standing up for his colleague Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), whom the Pentagon is investigating over alleged breaches of military law after he and five fellow Democratic veterans urged active service members not to obey unlawful orders.
“Mark Kelly is a patriot,” Gallego said in a self-recorded video Monday on Instagram.
Gallego appeared later that day on [CNN](https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/cnn) to discuss the matter on “The Arena with Kasie Hunt,” whose host asked what he would say directly to Hegseth if the outraged senator had the chance. Gallego, a former U.S. Marine who served in Iraq, once again spoke freely.
When is the Trump admin going to prosecute Patrón Hegseth for lying to Congress under oath?
He promised he wouldn’t be an alchy, and it’s clear that never stopped.

Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly are true American Patriots who happen to be speaking up for what’s left of American Democracy and standing up to the threats and tyranny of the fascist and moronic Trump Regime and Pete Hegseth just like Donald (TACO) Trump is a fascist and misogynistic coward and idiot who thinks that he’s above the law.

At least we know Republicans are breaking the law. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be acting out.

I’d say your investigation deserves a congressional investigation.

Nah, Hegseth is just an unqualified and incompetent political appointee who can’t stand on his own merits. Kind of like Kash.

Worse than a coward. A parrot to his pirate.

Just have to comment on this;
“Gallego on Monday torched the Pentagon on X, writing: “Fuck you and your investigation.”
I’m an even bigger fan now of former service folk who are now elected officials. We need more Kelly’s and Gallego’s serving for a second time as protectors of the Constitution, not hacks protecting their grifter god figure like never elected Hegseth.

He’s not mincing words in any messaging opportunity. He had tossed aside decorum and civility, and I fucking love it. I hope he keeps it up and continues to feed the sense of inadequacy obviously Hegseth has. Scorched earth on this wannabe tough guy, Nazi supporting, drunk little bitch.
