Former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ), who was shot in the head in 2011, decried President Donald Trump’s threat to execute her husband, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), on Thursday. Giffords condemned Trump’s violent rhetoric and called it “dangerous.” “My husband @CaptMarkKelly is a 25-year Navy combat pilot veteran. He served our country with strength, courage, and integrity, dedicating his career to protecting us and upholding our constitution,” wrote Giffords on X, adding:

Today, the President of the United States called him a traitor and demanded he be executed. It is dangerous and wrong. Americans of all political beliefs need to stand up and say so.

Trump accused Kelly, along with five other Democrats, of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH” after they put out a video urging military members not to follow “illegal orders.” Trump later reposted a social media user saying to “Hang them.”

Sen. Kelly also replied on social media, writing, “I’ve had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I’d see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we’re all less safe for it.”
