Senator Mark Kelly faced criticism from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after a video surfaced of Kelly urging military members to uphold the Constitution and resist illegal orders. Hegseth issued a formal letter of censure against Kelly and initiated retirement-grade proceedings that could lead to a reduction in rank and retirement pay.
During an interview with Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show," Kelly referred to Hegseth as a "minion" of Trump and claimed that he was being targeted because of his 25 years of military service. Kelly expressed his defiance against the Pentagon’s actions, stating that they are trying to intimidate him and other military members from speaking out.
Stewart highlighted a statement from the Pentagon’s letter of censure, where Kelly criticized military leadership for surrounding themselves with "yes men." Stewart questioned whether Kelly’s remarks warranted such severe consequences, to which Kelly responded that he would not allow the Pentagon to silence him.
Kelly emphasized the importance of Americans’ right to freedom of speech, stating that the government cannot take that away. The full interview with Senator Mark Kelly on "The Daily Show" can be watched below.
