Kelly Criticizes War Secretary for Unqualified Background Amid Controversy
Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., criticized War Secretary Pete Hegseth on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” as “totally un qualified,” after he was accused of creating a video that urged military and intelligence personnel to ignore what they claimed were “illegal orders.” The incident sparked controversy, with Hegseth accusing the Seditious Six of sowing doubt through politically motivated influence operation. Kelly’s comments came as the Department of War considers potential legal action against him, citing his background as a retired Navy combat pilot and former NASA astronaut. Kelly also mentioned that he learned of Trump’s reaction to the video during a briefing, where he and Slotkin received a note indicating “The president is calling for your execution,” though Trump did not directly call for their execution.
