Sen. Mark Kelly Fires Back at Stephen Miller Over Video Telling Military to ‘Refuse Illegal Orders’ – Twitchy

As our own Aaron Walker reported on Tuesday, several members of Congress shot a video directed toward members of the military, urging them to refuse illegal orders from the Trump administration. On Wednesday, Fox News’ Martha MacCallum angered Rep. Jason Crow, who appears in the video and asked MacCallum, “You don’t think [officers] can handle reminders about their legal obligations?”

Here’s that “reminder” one more time:

This editor still doesn’t understand how the Naval battle cry “Don’t give up the ship!” applies to their message.

Stephen Miller was not impressed.

Democrat lawmakers are now openly calling for insurrection. https://t.co/HwJB9nGFXA

That caught the attention of Sen. Mark Kelly, who appears prominently in the video:

I got shot at serving our country in combat, and I was there when your boss sent a violent mob to attack the Capitol. I know the difference between defending our Constitution and an insurrection, even if you don’t. https://t.co/d2QKHVpKTB

Sorry, but anyone who claims the riots at the Capitol were an “insurrection” immediately loses credibility.

Sounds like the bluster of someone just caught openly calling for a military insurrection!

You got shot at? While moving a few hundred mph in your plane?

Man. Must’ve been real scary… https://t.co/RLwho8l6ZV

If you compare Jan 6th to your experience in combat, then you’ve never been in combat.

You’re an unserious person, Mark

You’re wrong on this Mark. Very, very disappointed in you.

You disgrace your service with your dishonor and lies.

In the Navy? I was also in the Navy. Thank you for your service. What battles were you involved in where you got shot at?

Oh, cool. We’re back to making up stuff that didn’t happen. I love this game.

Joey Jones knows a thing or two about combat.

No shit, swear to God, there I was. Knee deep in hand grenade pins and shell casings at 20,000 feet…

When and where Kelly?

Just like Hillary Clinton was under sniper fire

Seditious fool.

Which illegal orders are they suggesting that members of the military should have disobeyed, or are they just playing pretend?
