U.S. House Republican moves to force vote on impeaching Pete Hegseth

We're not indicting him for being bad at his job. In fact, he was very effective at killing school children in Iran. He was very effective at extrajudicial killings. There's no argument in these impeachment articles that he's ineffective. The argument here is that he's broken laws and he's violated the Constitution. We're not worried about that. We are very proud of the President's America First agenda, of our peace through strength posture. We know the world is a better and safer place as a result. And so if we want to litigate that, the success of those things, I'm happy to do it all day long. I couldn't be more proud. The one interesting part is that it's Massey. It's a Republican. Who's actually trying to begin the process of impeachment rather than the swath of newly elected or newly empowered Democrats in Washington. His argument might actually work with some Republicans that he's saying, look, what we're really asking here are what are the rules? What is a president and a secretary of war allowed to do without congressional authority? Permission, basically, because they're supposed to go to Congress on this stuff. So as I say, eight articles of impeachment, three of them just straight up about Iran, one of them about not harming civilian casualties, one about those extrajudicial killings, those speedboats that they say had drugs on them in the Caribbean and in the Pacific, one for suppressing free speech. This is about Senator Mark Kelly, who had told soldiers in the United States that they didn't have to follow an illegal order. They tried to bring him up on military tribunal for that and one for capturing Nicolas Maduro out of Venezuela without congressional authority and one for illegally waging war in Yemen. The question wasn't what this would look like, nor was it whether Pete Hegseth would be first. I think it was almost a guarantee. The question is always, how would the president respond? And here's how the president responded on 60 Minutes. Do you have confidence in him? I do. We've won two wars. We've won Venezuela and taken out billions and billions and billions of dollars already. And we will be taking out many billions of dollars and get along very well. And you could call it a territory. You could call it whatever you want. We won that war in less than one hour. And you credit. And nobody was killed. You credit Pete Hegseth for that. No, but he was a part of it.
