In the video, they urged military and intelligence personnel to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-accused-of-encouraging-military-coup-with-coordinated-message-to-armed-services-personnel\/\" title=\"Democrats Accused of Encouraging &#039;...

President Donald Trump sharply criticized the video,accusing the Democrats of sedition and even <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >suggesting harsh punishments<\/a> such as hanging or execution.Kelly expressed shock and dismay over Trump&#8217;s violent remarks, highlighting his own military service and dedication to the country. He also criticized Pete Hegseth, who announced an investigation into Kelly&#8217;s conduct, calling him unqualified and politically motivated. Despite the backlash,Kelly reiterated his commitment to defending the rule of law and supporting members of the military who uphold it.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Kelly tells Kimmel Trump wanted to &lsquo;hang&rsquo;, &lsquo;execute&rsquo;, and &lsquo;kill&rsquo; congressional Dems in video<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2413609\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Sen. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3897967\/mark-kelly-pentagon-investigation-not-going-to-silence-us\/\">Mark Kelly<\/a> (D-AZ) is continuing to speak out about his controversial remarks that drew the ire of President Donald Trump.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The senator appeared on Tuesday&rsquo;s episode of <em><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/premium\/3823716\/jimmy-kimmel-crackup-late-night-reckoning\/\">Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a><\/em>  to discuss the fallout of a video Kelly made last week with five other members of Congress, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democratic-senator-appears-to-threaten-military-amid-mark-kelly-investigation-there-will-be-consequences\/\" title=\"Democratic Senator Appears to Threaten ...

Trump responded to the video by accusing the Democrats of sedition and treason.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The threats to our Constitution aren&rsquo;t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home,&rdquo; the six congressional representatives said in the video. &ldquo;Our laws are clear.

No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/constitution\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Constitution<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Kelly expressed shock and dismay that Trump would have a problem with their statement.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Well, it&rsquo;s kind of shocking that the president, you know, we said something, which is basically &lsquo;follow the law,&rsquo; and the president of the United States says &lsquo;kill them,&rsquo;&rdquo; Kelly told Kimmel. &ldquo;Hang them, execute them, try them for sedition. I served 25 years in the United States Navy, you know.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve almost gotten killed for this country, multiple times, almost shot down over Iraq and Kuwait, had a missile blow up next to my airplane,&rdquo; Kelly said. &ldquo;I got on a rocket ship four times, millions of pounds of rocket fuel, for this nation. And then, I wake up one day, and I got the president of the United States threatening me with my life, that I&rsquo;m going to be hanged?&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The president, when he says these things, there are consequences,&rdquo; Kelly told Kimmel. &ldquo;And by the way, isn&rsquo;t this the guy two months ago that said &lsquo;we&rsquo;ve got to stop this political violence issue? He didn&rsquo;t even make it to Thanksgiving.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You can&rsquo;t keep track of this guy and what he says,&rdquo; Kelly said, refusing to address Trump by name or title. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll tell you this, though: I&rsquo;m not backing down. We&rsquo;ve said something very simple &mdash; members of the military need to follow the law. We wanted to say we have their backs.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;His response: kill them,&rdquo; Kelly said.<\/p>\n<p>The conversation then turned to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who, on Tuesday, announced that he would open an investigation into Kelly&rsquo;s conduct. Kimmel mentioned it during the interview with Kelly. The senator would go on to blast Hegseth, saying he is unqualified for the job.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And then you have Pete Hegseth, who runs the Department of War, is going to open an investigation into you, I assume, into your colleagues,&rdquo; Kimmel said. &ldquo;You will have to be interviewed by the FBI, and they&rsquo;re trying to find what, exactly? I mean, what even is sedition?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Well, this is the investigation because of what Donald Trump said, from what I can tell,&rdquo; Kelly said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And I don&rsquo;t know Pete Hegseth well. I sat on the committee that ultimately had to confirm him, so I know a little bit about his background. He&rsquo;s totally unqualified,&rdquo; Kelly added, without answering the question Kimmel asked him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kelly continued to bash Hegseth instead of answering Kimmel&rsquo;s question about the announced FBI investigation or what sedition is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Nothing against journalists, they play a very important role in our society,&rdquo; Kelly said. &ldquo;But he&rsquo;s not qualified for this job. And from what I can tell, and talking to some of my Republican colleagues, I mean, he just wants to please the president.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3897967\/mark-kelly-pentagon-investigation-not-going-to-silence-us\/\"><strong>MARK KELLY STRIKES DEFIANT TONE IN THE FACE OF PENTAGON INVESTIGATION: &lsquo;HE&rsquo;S NOT GOING TO SILENCE US&rsquo;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And this is what he can do this week, he can go after me, under the Uniform Code of military justice, which is the law in the military,&rdquo; Kelly added, while still not answering Kimmel&rsquo;s question about sedition. &ldquo;Which is kind of wild, because we recited something in the Uniform Code of military justice, and he&rsquo;s going to prosecute me, under the Uniform Code of military justice, for reciting the Uniform Code of military justice.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It is so ridiculous, it&rsquo;s almost like you can&rsquo;t make this s*** up,&rdquo; Kelly said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kelly tells Kimmel Trump urged &#8216;hang,&#8217; &#8216;execute&#8217; Dems in video<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2677,"featured_media":2514619,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-collage-h6yhwms38-1764139838108-e1764139925193.jpg?1764121917&amp;w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[34197,7206,4793,36160,3634],"class_list":["post-2514618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-congressional-democrats","tag-kelly","tag-kimmel","tag-political-controversy","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-collage-h6yhwms38-1764139838108-e1764139925193.jpg?1764121917&amp;w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2514618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2677"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2514618"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2514618\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2514622,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2514618\/revisions\/2514622"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2514619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2514618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2514618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2514618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
