"I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law, and in response to that, Donald Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged, I should be prosecuted. He even went on and said something about, Go get them,' I guess sending a mob to round me and the other folks up, the senator continued. I think it says a lot more about him than it says about me. He doesn't want accountability. But Rachel, I'm not gonna be silenced, I'm not gonna be intimidated."
"I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution."
Pentagon officials announced an investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly after Donald Trump protested that Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers who urged military personnel not to follow illegal orders should be jailed. The Pentagon warned that Kelly, a former U.S. Navy officer, could be recalled to active duty and court-martialed, and advised military retirees against interfering with loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline. Kelly said he had simply urged service members to follow the law and recounted Trump's calls for his execution and a mob to 'go get them.' Kelly said he will not be silenced or intimidated.
