Senator Mark Kelly is set to see his retirement rank and pay cut after making “seditious statements” in a video, featuring several other lawmakers, that told troops they “can and must refuse illegal orders.”
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth moved to censure Kelly, an Arizona Democrat, on Monday, telling Fox News Digital that he directed Secretary of the Navy John Phelan to review the retired Navy captain’s retirement rank and pay and provide a recommendation in 45 days.
