‘Seditious Six’ ringleader reamed for response to National Guard shooting

November 28, 2025 | | Print Article

The attack on two National Guard soldiers Wednesday in our nation’s capital — punctuated by the shout of Allahu Akbar — produced the prerequisite parade of Democrats condemning the shootings. This is the same cabal largely responsible for the current state of chaos via their frenzied rhetoric.

Democrats are so transparent in their alleged grief, considering they have not only created the current political climate that is producing all this violence but also feed it every single day.

Of all the responses, a post from Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) struck a raw nerve with many. Seen as the ringleader of the “Seditious Six,” who have been making a concerted effort to sow discontent within the ranks of the U.S. military, going so far as to suggest that troops should refuse to obey President Donald J. Trump.

“This is horrific. I’m thinking of the families of these two National Guard members who lost their lives while serving the day before Thanksgiving. Thank you to the first responders who’ve brought a suspect into custody,” Kelly posted on X in response to a now-deleted Associated Press post.

The AP post was deleted because early reports that both soldiers were killed were incorrect. National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom, 20, of West Virginia, died on Thanksgiving Day, while the other soldier is still fighting for his life after the savage attack by an Afghan national allowed into the country during the Biden administration.

Kelly was one of six Democrats who recently made a video claiming the administration was “pitting our uniform military and intelligence community against American citizens.”

Another member of the “seditious Six,” Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), went so far as to suggest that soldiers may start opening fire on civilians.

Slotkin shares a common bond with the alleged Muslim shooter — they both previously worked for the CIA.

She had the audacity to offer this response to the shootings: “Sending prayers and strength to the friends, families and fellow guardsmen of the two West Virginians who were shot in Washington, D.C. These individuals signed up to serve because they cared about their community and their country, and to have this happen the day before Thanksgiving is heartbreaking.”

While both have been media darlings since the release of the video, Kelly has been the most outspoken, standing on his prior military experience to justify his political attacks on Trump.

But his words fell flat with social media users — here is a sampling of the responses to Kelly’s empty statement, as seen on X:
