Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona has sharply criticized President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. In an interview with NBC News, he described both of them as “not serious people.” The background is a video that Kelly and other Democratic representatives released. In it they call on military and intelligence officials to refuse illegal orders.
This request was met with strong reactions from the Trump administration. President Trump accused the lawmakers involved of “seditious acts,” which he described as a capital offense. He later qualified his statement and emphasized that he did not mean to make any death threats.
The video, released by several Democratic lawmakers including Kelly, aims to encourage the military not to carry out orders that violate the law or the constitution. Kelly emphasized that the video was not aimed at specific orders from the current administration, but was a general warning.
Defense Minister Hegseth described the video as “disgusting, reckless and wrong.” Kelly, in turn, criticized Hegseth as the “least qualified defense secretary in US history.” He pointed to his own military experience and emphasized that he would always refuse illegal orders.
The controversy is compounded by reports of an incident in which Hegseth allegedly ordered a Navy SEAL team to kill everyone on a suspicious drug boat. Kelly called for an investigation into this incident and stressed the need for accountability.
