Now We've Got Sen. Ruben Gallego Trying To Threaten Military Members If They Investigate Mark Kelly

Posted • November 24, 2025: Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is irate over news that his colleague, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), is the subject of a Department of War investigation for taking part in a video urging military members to defy orders from their superiors. So much so that he's seemingly issuing threats to anyone who takes part in that investigation. A Department of War statement issued Monday stated Kelly had been accused of "serious allegations of misconduct" and that further actions against him are under consideration—including a potential court-martial or other "administrative measures." Gallego, in an interview with CNN, warned service members that once President Trump leaves office, "there will be consequences” for participating in any military proceedings related to the investigation. “Donald Trump is going to be gone in a couple of years,” he said. “And if you’re part of the military that is going after sitting senators, sitting members of Congress, and part of the weaponization of government, there will be consequences, without a doubt.”

Gallego went even further, suggesting military members would need to look over their shoulders once the Commander-in-Chief leaves office. “I think there’s going to be a lot of officers that'll be part of this potential tribunal, if they want to call it that, they're going to be looking over their shoulders," he said. "Because they know that Donald Trump will be gone and they will not have that protection." Gallego, practically following the playbook from the video verbatim, tossed out that military members must follow the Constitution, of course. After making several threats—"consequences," "looking over their shoulders," "will not have that protection"—anyway. Just follow the law *wink, wink*, that we're interpreting for you in our comments, and all will be well. […] Ruben, even without threatening military members, was clearly off his rocker regarding the Kelly investigation, based on other comments today. "Fück you and your investigation," he wrote on X. https://x.com/RubenGallego/status/1993019769168204008

Gallego followed that up with a profanity-laced video in which he showed off a temperament unfit for Congress. "This is fücking insane. We should all point out how fücking insane this is," he said, perhaps looking into a mirror. "And, you know, these guys are trying to say that they’re not acting like fascists, they’re not trying to give as much power to this president as a king, then they should stop acting like it." - "Secretary Hegseth, all these guys, fück you guys," Gallego said. "You’re not gonna be able to scare us." (…)
