Author Elizabeth Graham Accuses Trump of Sedition Hypocrisy While Targeting Senator Mark Kelly

Bestselling author Elizabeth Graham has accused former President Donald Trump of hypocrisy for labeling Senator Mark Kelly as seditious while having orchestrated the January 6 Capitol insurrection. In a recent Substack article titled 'Donald Trump Has Accused Senator Mark Kelly Of Sedition', Graham cites the January 6 Report's introduction by Luke Broadwater, who witnessed rioters "beating police officers, shattering windows and doors" while chanting "Hang Mike Pence." Approximately 1,600 individuals were convicted for their roles, many on sedition charges, with Trump later pardoning 1,500 after his re-election.

Graham contrasts Trump's actions with Senator Kelly's background, noting his service as a decorated U.S. Navy pilot who flew combat missions in the Gulf War, a NASA astronaut who commanded Space Shuttle missions, and a senator advocating for gun safety after his wife Gabrielle Giffords survived a shooting. This information is documented on Wikipedia. Graham, who grew up in a military family with a father serving in WWII and the CIA, emphasizes that Kelly represents national service unlike Trump, whom she describes as a "five-time draft dodger" according to a Military Times report from February 27, 2019.

The author references Trump's alleged comments disparaging military service, including that "those who died in service are losers and suckers" reported by Politico on June 28, 2024, and a remark at Arlington National Cemetery that "it was a waste and could have made a wonderful golf course" from Threads on August 29, 2024. Graham argues Trump "has disgraced the office of the Presidency" and shows no understanding of governmental systems, instead pursuing "self-focused and narcissistic lust."

Graham connects Trump's actions to Russian influence, stating he "was apprehended because of a Russian KGB operation orchestrated by Mr. Putin," and claims the current "Trump dictatorial government" stems from verifiable reasons.

She also announced a forthcoming book, 'Survival: Democracy's Struggle To Survive', set for release in 2026, which analyzes the "deep, dark, clandestine linkage between Trump and Putin" with contributions from authors like Craig Unger and Charlie Sykes.

This controversy matters because it highlights potential abuses of power and erosion of democratic norms, where a former president accused of sedition himself targets a senator with a distinguished service record. The implications extend to political accountability, military respect, and the integrity of U.S. institutions, affecting public trust and global perceptions of American democracy. Graham's existing book, 'From Democracy To Democrazy: A Warning To All Americans', is available at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Elizabeth-Graham/author/B0CMY189NT?, with more information at her website https://democrazy2020.org/.
