For the international community who may not know, #senatorkelly he is a military #veteran and #astronaut whose wife was a politician. A #RadicalRight assailant attempted to assassinate her and he has stepped up in her place. He is one of the BEST that this country has to offer. He and his family have paid the price, repeatedly, for freedom.
Please show him the respect due to someone who has sacrificed much and who stands up against #Trump, #Musk and other assorted vermin.

Kelly dismissed Musk as "not a serious guy" suggesting he “go back to building rockets” rather than engaging in political matters
