AZ SENATOR KELLY WILL NOT BACK DOWN

In a conversation with MS NOW’s Rachel Maddow, Kelly said: 

“I’ve had a missile blow up next to my airplane.  I’ve been…nearly shot down multiple times. I’ve flown a rocket ship into space four times (built by the lowest bidder), and my wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, was shot in the head. Six people were killed around her. A horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital."

"We know what political violence is, and we know what causes it, too…. The statements that Donald Trump made… incite others…. He should be careful with his words. But I’m not going to be silenced here…. I’m going to show up for work every day, support the Constitution, do my job, hold this administration accountable, hold this president accountable when he is out of line. That’s the responsibility of every U.S. senator and every member of Congress. He’s not going to silence us.”
