Sen. Mark Kelly, in an interview on MS NOW, says that after he and other lawmakers made a video telling troops they don't have to follow illegal orders, Donald Trump said they should be "hanged, executed, prosecuted." Kelly says the administration then tried to indict them for seditious conspiracy and tried to reduce his rank and take away his pension after 25 years of service. His fix: Trump should fire "the most unqualified Secretary of Defense this country has ever seen."

the actress is kind of wild right i you know five five myself in the middle of this thing we made a very straight forward and basic uh... video last year uh... just telling members of the military that they don't have to follow the illegal orders then donald trump said we should be hanged executed prosecuted they tried to indict us for seditious conspiracy and then when all that didn't work, right, then he tries to reduce me and rank and take away my pension after 25 years of service. So yeah, obviously I've been following this thing. I took a look at the Articles of Impeachment when Massey did this the first time and Mike Johnson sent people home. And I think the simplest solution to all of this is that Donald Trump should fire the most unqualified Secretary of Defense, this country has ever seen a guy who has screwed up at every turn.
