Pete Hegseth Mocks Mark Kelly over Military Uniform
Defense Secretary Hegseth mocked Senator Kelly over uniform display amid Pentagon probe into alleged misconduct linked to Kelly's video urging military to refuse illegal orders.
- On Tuesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth mocked Senator Mark Kelly, USN , on X over his uniform photo, criticizing Kelly's medals as out of order and saying a recalled inspection would start there.
- On Monday, the Pentagon posted a review citing 10 U.S.C. � 688 and noted it had received serious allegations against Captain Mark Kelly, USN , calling itself the 'Department of War' on X.
- The video by six Democrats, including Kelly, prompted him to post his uniform on X, asserting `I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies.`
- Observers noted it was highly unusual that the Pentagon signaled potential legal action against a sitting member of Congress, and Pete Hegseth said Kelly is the only Democrat subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, while Democrats say the rhetoric has triggered violent threats.
- The White House labeled the video `seditious` and President Donald Trump urged arrests, at one point suggesting harsher measures against the six Democrats including Senator Elissa Slotkin.
