You've got to check this out! This is a man who'll get up and talk back to the clowns in this Administration.

Arizona Senator Mark Kelly defiantly stated he would not “be silenced” by President Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth after the Department of Defense announced a review into him. Kelly delivered a scorching comparison of his resume against President Trump’s and said, "I am not going to be silenced by this president or the people around him, because I've given too much in service of this country to back down to this guy."

I don't want to take anything away from Gov. Walz, but Harris should have gone with this guy.
