Sen. Mark Kelly, a Democrat from Arizona who long has built a reputation as an anti-Trump extremist, is getting scorched online for defending a video he and other leftists, like Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado, made urging a military insurrection in America.
Specifically, they repeatedly warned members of the CIA, the military and more they do not have to obey "illegal" orders, presumably orders with which they disagree politically.
"Sounds like the bluster of someone just caught openly calling for a military insurrection!" one commenter said.
It was Stephen Miller who pointed out the Democrats' desire for an insurrection:
To which Kelly responded: "I got shot at serving our country in combat, and I was there when your boss sent a violent mob to attack the Capitol. I know the difference between defending our Constitution and an insurrection, even if you don't."
Kelly, who served time as a military pilot, was the object of scorn: "I'm ashamed of your representation of me in D.C. Urging people to go against the orders of their commander in chief, implying what he orders them to do is unlawful. Which orders? Trump NEVER sent people to do harm or damage on Jan 6 you're a liar," one said.
Explained a commentary at Twitchy, "Sorry but anyone who claims the riots at the Capitol were an 'insurrection' immediately loses credibility."
Another likened Kelly to Hillary Clinton's aged, and false, claim that she arrived at an overseas location "under sniper fire," when there wasn't any.
Twitchy wondered, "Which illegal orders are they suggesting that members of the military should have disobeyed, or are they just playing pretend?"
In fact, no military unit could operate under the condition that every member could decide which orders are, or are not, illegal, and which they would obey.
The original call for a military insurrection:BREAKING: Elected Democrats just released a video encouraging members of the military to commit treason and DEFY orders from Trump and Hegseth
WND reported Democrats featured in the video are Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, a former CIA officer; Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, a former Navy captain and astronaut; Rep. Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania, a former Navy officer; Rep. Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, a former intelligence officer in the Navy Reserve; Rep. Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, a former Air Force officer; and Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado, a former paratrooper and Army Ranger.
Others noted:
"This is seditious conspiracy. Arrest every one of them."
"That's a helluva way for the Dems to advocate for military members ending their careers."
"Every attempt to take over this country has failed. Now the Epstein documents are coming out. And coincidentally you're asking our military to commit treason, just as you all probably have. How fitting."
"Haha, these are the same people who voted against our military personnel and federal employees receiving compensation for their work."
