The controversy exploded after Democrats issued a formal reminder against following unlawful orders, prompting Trump administration figure Pete Hegseth to lash out and accuse them of “sedition”. But Senator Mark Kelly pushed back sharply, rejecting the accusation as politically driven and pointing to a 2016 resurfaced video in which Hegseth once defended the very same principle he now condemns.
