Elon Musk called me a traitor, John.

He tweeted that in response to my visit to Ukraine and Poland. “You are a traitor” for having dinner with American soldiers deployed to Poland. “You are a traitor” for meeting with Ukrainians defending their country from a Russian invasion. “You are a traitor” for visiting with nurses and doctors in hospitals that treat Ukrainian soldiers wounded in combat.

When I joined the Navy, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. I did it again when I was sworn in as Arizona’s United States Senator. I will continue to uphold that oath, and because it matters to our national security, I’m going to stand with Ukraine until they win a peace that protects their sovereignty and safety.

Elon is only looking out for himself. And if he doesn’t understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe he should leave it to those of us who do.

I’ll be honest with you, though. If the richest man on Earth is lining up against me, it’s going to take a big team to fight back.

Please, if you can afford it, make a donation as we take on Elon and the Trump Administration. It adds up fast when lots of people are chipping in.
