Team, it’s been a weird few days.

In 1990, during Desert Storm, I was stationed on the USS Midway. I flew 39
combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait. I had a missile blow up next to my
airplane, I was shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire. If you had
told me before one of those missions that 25 years later the President of
the United States would call for me to be hanged, I would have said you
were crazy.

But that’s exactly what happened this Wednesday.

Sadly, this is the kind of thing we’ve come to expect from this president.
He’s a person who can live through the same year we have — rising
political violence, escalating tensions, assassinations — and go on to
wish death upon sitting members of Congress.

Yes, it was concerning, but more than anything, it’s incredibly sad. I
served 25 years in the Navy, launched into orbit 4 times, and ran for
Senate because I love this country. To me, there is nothing more American
than standing up for our Constitution.

Donald Trump will never understand that. He’ll never understand putting
service to this country before yourself. He’s made billions of dollars off
his presidency while millions of people are wondering how they’ll afford
their health care, or how to feed their kids.

He just doesn’t get it, and he never will. But that makes it even more
important that people who do get it — people like you — stick together.
That’s how we’ll get through this.

There’s no telling what’s ahead of us. This is uncharted territory for me,
for my family, for my team, and we have to be ready for anything.

I wish I didn’t need to ask you to do any more than you already have, but
today, that’s what I need to do.
