One wonders: Have the Democrats thought this through? Do they have an endgame?
Either way, their reckless rhetoric can only lead to a dark place — as it has already.
Monday on CNN’s “The Arena with Kasie Hunt,” Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona appeared to threaten “consequences” for military service members who take part in a potential court-martial of his colleague, Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona.
In a clip posted to the social media platform X, host Kasie Hunt asked Gallego about his “level of trust in the U.S. military justice system,” to which the senator, with shocking brazenness, replied that service members need to remember that President Donald Trump will not be around to protect them forever.
“I trust them, actually, a lot,” Gallego began.
That sounded like a compliment, of course. But if you listen closely, you will hear the Democrats’ seditious anti-Trump message embedded in the senator’s response.
“These are professionals,” Gallego said moments later. ‘They are also swearing to the Constitution of the United States. They know that there will be fallout and consequences if they are used in a hard way to basically railroad someone like Senator Kelly, ’cause Donald Trump’s gonna be gone in a couple years.”
What a slimy way to insinuate that Trump either has or will give orders at odds with the Constitution.
“And if you’re part of the military that’s going after sitting senators, sitting members of Congress, and part of the weaponization of government,” Gallego continued, “there will be consequences, without a doubt.”
Incredibly, Gallego then predicted that officers who participate in a potential Kelly tribunal would be “looking over their shoulders because they know that Donald Trump will be gone and they will not have that protection there, and they’re gonna have to do the safest thing possible, which is follow the Constitution of the United States, and you’ll be fine.”
