The President has been pushing relentlessly for consequences for U.S. Senator Mark Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers over a video they made reminding servicemembers of their duty to disobey illegal orders.
The President "called the lawmakers’ actions “seditious” and “treason.”
President Donald Trump labeled the recording "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR" that's "punishable by DEATH!"
U.S. Senator Mark Kelly's response:
I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.
U.S. Senator Mark Kelly was a Captain in the Navy. He flew combat missions in the Gulf War. He flew four NASA space shuttle missions. He is married to " Gabby Giffords, who was shot and nearly killed in an assassination attempt in Arizona."
The current President does not believe the results of the 2020 election. He believes the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol was a tourist visit. He pardoned many if not all of the insurrectionists.
