On CNN’s “The Source” Wednesday, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said President Donald Trump was trying to break the justice system in the United States.
Host Kaitlan Collins asked, “What was going through your head when you heard that they actually tried to charge you for this video?”
Kelly said, “Well, I mean, they gave us a little heads up and we didn’t know the outcome. And then a little bit later last night we found out that they failed to get an indictment. And yeah, I got some text messages from people talking about, oh, this is great. This is, you know, big news. And I’m like, it’s not big news. This is Donald Trump trying to break the system. Him and his cronies trying to break a system that’s been in place for 250 years, trying to use the Department of Justice as a weapon against sitting members of Congress, because we said something he didn’t like, he doesn’t like how I’m doing my job and that’s why he wants me to go to prison.”
He added: “This is also right out of the authoritarian playbook. We see things like this in other countries, right? This happens in places like China and Russia. But this happened this week right here in the United States of America.”
