Republican Senators Criticize Hegseth's Kelly Censure
Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description
Two Republican senators, Susan Collins and Thom Tillis, criticize Secretary of War Pete Hegseths decision to censure and potentially demote Senator Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain and Democrat from Arizona. The controversy stems from a November video where Kelly urged service members to uphold the Constitution and refuse illegal orders. Hegseth defends the action, citing Kellys military pension and military justice responsibilities. The move sparks debate on free speech for military retirees in politics.
