PHOENIX — Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs said on Tuesday she doesn’t understand the issues regarding Sen. Mark Kelly’s comments about telling military members they don’t have to follow illegal orders.

Hobbs told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s Outspoken with Bruce and Gaydos she doesn’t understand why the Pentagon is investigating Kelly over his comments.

“I’m not sure what the uproar is about. If you’re not issuing illegal orders, I’m not sure why what he said is so bad,” Hobbs said.

“Sen. Kelly is somebody who has served in the military and has a lengthy military career where he flew many combat missions as a navy pilot and he was an astronaut. In those roles, he took an oath to the Constitution as has every member of the armed forces.”
