Democrat Senator Mark Kelly continues to bring his "Seditious Six" roadshow to the legacy media. On Tuesday, he visited CNN’s Jake Tapper. Unsurprisingly, Democrats are saying President Donald Trump's recent military operation to extract dictator Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela was illegal. Tapper put Kelly on the spot by asking if this means soldiers should have refused President Donald Trump’s orders, as Kelly and the rest of the Seditious Six had encouraged.
Yeah, Mark ... since you Democrats are foaming at the mouth about our military's operation to bring Nicolás Maduro to justice supposedly being an "illegal" act under The Constitution and international law, then are you saying that our military personnel should have refused their orders?! Come on, Mark ... spit it out, you two-bit piece of sh!t.
Kelly spat out this convoluted mess. (WATCH)
Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) ~ Question: Democrats have said the Venezuela operation was illegal. Should service members have refused to obey those orders?
Kelly: That’s different from what I meant.

"Uh ... cough ... snort ... swallow ... uh ... well ... uh ... that's really ... uh ... not ... uh ... what I meant. Allow me to 'explain' further so that no one will be able to follow my train of thought, here."
Adam Schiffylus (@GogginWalters) ~ He’s squirming. Love seeing corrupt Democrats face accountability.
Well, not really "accountability," here ... but, Kelly is being asked to provide a clear, straight answer to his previous treasonous encouragements. And as everyone knows, Democrats are LOATHE to provide clear, straight answers to ANY question. That's like sunshine to a vampire.
krehmit (@krehmit) ~ "Uhh, uhh, umm. That thing I said ... I totally meant another thing that sounds the same but is different somehow. Let me change the subject and use military jargon so you think I'm trustworthy and not violating the UCMJ." ~ Mark Kelly
Kate Johnson (@kaideejay) ~ Soooo ... how are the service members supposed to know what he means? What if the service members decided this was illegal and refused to execute their orders? Senator Kelly is walking a thin tightrope here.
Ellie A (@EllieGAnders) ~ He knows he's on thin ice.
Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) ~ Been waiting for someone to ask this clown this obvious question. The answer was about as convoluted and nonsensical as I expected.
Jim Hanson (@JimHansonDC) ~ He's being very careful not to give @SecWar cause to take another rank off his collar. He's about to lose at least one and his lawyers told him to tap dance like Mr. Bojangles if it comes up again.
Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) ~ The tap dancing routine is gonna need some work. This is a mess.
First Words (@unscriptedmike) ~ He won’t name a specific instance where he thinks an order was illegal because that would hang him.
Kevin M. Nelson (@KevinMNelsonUSA) ~ Proving his video was purely to create doubt and confusion among the ranks. Can’t wait for his demotion to be official.
Kelly should have kept his mouth shut to begin with instead of trying to undermine Trump’s presidential authority as Commander-in-Chief. That Kelly and his gang decided to use America’s soldiers as part of their seditious scheme is unpardonable.
