This was a pretty extraordinary allegation from Democrat Senator Mark Kelly. Almost sounds defamatory... During an appearance on CBS’s Face the Nation, Kelly accused Secretary of War Pete Hegseth of making personnel decisions based on “the color of their skin” or “because they’re women.” Even Margaret Brennan immediately stepped... in to point out that Hegseth would deny the allegation. KELLY: “Well, he often fires people because of the color of their skin or because they’re women. He also seems to be looking—” Brennan immediately shot back. BRENNAN: “He would deny that.” KELLY: “Of course he would deny that. I think anybody would deny that, but it’s pretty obvious when you have a list of seven people who don’t promote from one star to two-star and five are either black or women, it’s pretty obvious.” Wow. That is a heck of a claim to make on national television.show more

Soooooo.....people now deserve promotions based solely on their melanin level and what genitalia they have???? seriously?????

Or they were improperly promoted because of the color of their skin or because they’re woman and therefore fired?

@SenMarkKelly sure was more muted when Lloyd Austin went AWOL.

Kelly has proven that he's a traitor to this country. Why he isn't rotting in an 8x6 is anyone's guess.

It is an example of lying pieces of shit spewing unsubstantiated BS for the purpose of fabricating false narratives, misleading Americans, spreading hate and vitriol to divide us and spreading propaganda.

Mark Kelly operates less like an independent leader and more like an ideological figurehead, clearly led around by the nose by his wife Gabby Giffords. His stances consistently echo progressive identity politics and partisan agendas over the practical, merit-based governance that actually serves his constituents.

He knows better but will sell his soul for votes

Yet evidence indicates there are more people of color and more women entering the service than previously. There's the talk and then the walk.

Mark Kelly preferred when lesser candidates were chosen based upon skin color and gender. Got it.

Mark Kelly is a lying sack of shit. Hegseth is firing the general staff of woke cucks that Obama and Biden put in to purposefully weaken the esprit d’corps, essential to the military accomplishing its missions.

Kelly thought a dumb little feud was more important than his best friend's life when his bro was stranded in space , Kelly was well aware Elon Musk was the only one capable of saving the stranded astronauts but Kelly didn't care. Musk saves stranded astronauts, not even a THANKS

Kelly has now descended to the level of "when did you stop beating your wife?" Sad descent for someone who wants to be seen as a hero.

I hope Kelly gets sued beyond belief!

Today we are making the ultimate choice for our children’s future. The midterm elections are here, and the stakes have never been higher. 🚨 We need to VOTE RED‼️ Our young people are being captured through an education system that pushes communism, socialism, and radical Islamic ideology. Our Christian community and our foundational values are under direct attack. We are at a critical crossroads, and we cannot afford to sit this one out. I was shocked to learn how many Christians don’t vote. If we stay home, or if we let people vote for Dems who have been captured by the DSA and dangerous ideologies, our children will be the ones paying the price. It is time to stand up, show up, and support Republican candidates. Bring your family, your friends, your neighbors, and your church members to the polls. The time is now! Let's protect our kids and vote RED‼️❤️🙏🇺🇸‼️

Mark Kelly is a grifter. Sucking off his wife ‘s attempt and his brother. Disgraceful

DEI candidates not qualified. That’s why they were passed over.

Mini-Me shooting his mouth off again @FaceTheNation

Mark Kelly proving once again he’s a scumbag? Like so many others who acquittted themselves well in military service but became total dirtbags in their political careers, Kelly is no different.

All the artificial news is focused on activating the AWFLS for midterms. Expect the news to be completely different in it's focus by mid-Nov.

Kelly is a total buffoon and should ignored

Mr. Giffords is the biggest loser. He'd be lost in space without her pity vote.

how is this not treasonous?

Plenty of past DEI in the military. Kelly is making it racial and sexist. Funny the little troll didnt mention how Pete wants to cut back on top brass. Just tells you what Kelly's true motivation is.

Kelly is a troll, who hurts America

This guy has short circuited!

That his conduct still comes under the UCMJ seems to elude Kelly. You would think that an elected official would understand the need to uphold military rules and regulations.

Well, looks suspicious to me 🤷🏼‍♀️

Kelly give up your senate seat to a person of color or a woman or man saying he's a woman like you and Biden did.

Sowing hate and division as Obama taught them.

Maybe because they were put in place for the sake of DEI and not merit???

Treasonous leprechaun riding his wife’s coattails

But he will face no consequences for making it. And Brennan, notably, didn't ask him for proof of it.

Guess this traitor knows what's coming.

Or...maybe they were just caught up in the effort to reduce the number of command/flag officers which is extraordinary high in comparison to historical norms. Probably on the promotion list for bogus reasons in the first place. Kelly is a tool.

Typical Democrat race bailing , pitting men against women.
