Well Mark Kelly is on fire! He’s getting a lot of political capital out of the idiotic attacks on him and his colleagues by the Orange Dimwit and his brown-noser Defense Sec.
Kelly compared his own combat pilot, astronaut, and real American hero history to Trump’s lifetime of self serving narcissism. “When Donald Trump was driving the Taj Mahal casino into bankruptcy, I was getting shot at over Iraq and Kuwait.” “In 2001, when Trump was bragging that the collapse of the Twin Towers meant he now owned the tallest building in Manhattan, I was carrying flags honoring 9/11 victims into space.” “In 2003, when Trump was writing birthday greetings to Jeffrey Epstein, I was recovering the bodies of my friends after the Columbia explosion.” In 2011, while Trump peddled racist conspiracy theories about President Obama for attention, Kelly was holding vigil at his wife Gabby Giffords’ hospital bedside after she survived an assassination attempt. “My point is this,” Kelly said. “I’ve been through a lot worse in service to my country. The president and Pete Hegseth are not going to silence me.”
Trying to deny a Senator his constitutional right to free speech is not going well for the Obnoxious Orange man, but it’s certainly putting a spotlight on Kelly as a top tier candidate for ’28.
