Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., fired back after Elon Musk unflinchingly stood behind the decision to label the lawmaker a ‘traitor.’
Musk made the accusation earlier this month when replying to a post in which the senator, who is also a Navy veteran and retired astronaut, argued that it is important for the U.S. to ‘stand with Ukraine.’
When Fox News’ Bret Baier asked Musk why he leveled the accusation, Musk indicated that Americans should care about U.S. interests over those of another nation, adding, ‘if they don’t, they’re a traitor.’
‘But he’s a decorated veteran, a former astronaut, a sitting U.S. senator,’ Baier pressed.
Musk said that does not mean it is ‘OK’ for Kelly to place the interests of another nation over the U.S.
Kelly fired back during an appearance on CNN.
