Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) hasn’t noticed that the news cycle has moved on from the Seditious Six video and President Donald Trump’s reaction.
It was previously all the leftists in the media could talk about, especially how the president called out the group for their “seditious behavior,” adding, “punishable by death.” But while most people have moved on from this, it appears that Kelly is trying to stoke the flames once more.
On Monday, he made a post to X claiming that the Trump administration is “threatening everything I fought and served for across twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy” over his role in the video.
Look:
It should send a shiver down the spine of every patriotic American that the president and secretary of defense would abuse their power to come after me or anyone this way.
It wasn’t enough for Donald Trump to say I should be hanged. It wasn’t enough for Pete Hegseth to threaten…

“It should send a shiver down the spine of every patriotic American that the president and secretary of defense would abuse their power to come after me or anyone this way,” he said, echoing sentiments from his previous videos and posts. “It wasn’t enough for Donald Trump to say I should be hanged. It wasn’t enough for Pete Hegseth to threaten me with a court-martial. Now they are threatening everything I fought and served for across twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy– all because I repeated something every service member is taught.”
“The United States has the most professional military in the world – I trust their integrity. What I don’t trust is Pete Hegseth, a recklessly unqualified secretary of defense who has already shown he will corrupt any process to make an example out of me and send a message to every veteran and every American that they shouldn’t speak out,” the senator added. “If Trump and Hegseth think this will stop me from doing what I’ve done every day of my adult life – fighting for this country – then they’ve got the wrong guy. Tomorrow, and the next day, I will keep doing my job representing Arizona.”
An hour later, he posted a video in which he basically used the above post as a script, assuring viewers that he is not intimidated.
Watch:
Tonight, we learned the Pentagon is escalating its review of me into “an official command investigation.”
