War Secretary Pete Hegseth has been thrust into the spotlight once again, this time as the Democrats' newest target for his efforts to stem the tide of narco-terrorism and drug trafficking into the United States.
According to the Western Journal, Michigan Democratic Representative Shri Thanedar's office announced on Tuesday that it had initiated impeachment proceedings against Hegseth. The charges, outlined in a news release, include murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and reckless and unlawful mishandling of classified information.
In a statement, Thanedar explained his decision, saying, "Pete Hegseth has been using the United States military to extrajudicially assassinate people without evidence of any crime." He added, "Former military attorneys have come out and asserted that his conduct constitutes war crimes. We cannot allow his reprehensible conduct to continue, which is why I have filed these articles to impeach him."
This is not Thanedar's first foray into impeachment proceedings. Earlier this year, he attempted to impeach President Donald Trump on charges such as obstruction of justice and First Amendment violations. However, his latest accusations against Hegseth raise several questions.
Hegseth's actions are directed at individuals designated as terrorists by executive order, who are attempting to smuggle deadly substances into the country. These individuals are not innocent civilians but non-uniformed combatants or terrorists.
In October, Secretary of State Marco Rubio offered a straightforward solution to the issue during a press briefing in the Oval Office. He said, "These are drug boats. If people want to stop seeing drug boats blow up, stop sending drugs to the United States." He further clarified, "There are people traveling in international waters headed towards the United States with hostilities in mind which includes flooding our country with dangerous, deadly drugs and theyre going to be stopped."
Before Thanedar points fingers at Hegseth, he should perhaps examine his own record. The New York Post reported that Thanedar's New Jersey-based AniClin Preclinical Services's parent company filed for bankruptcy in April 2010. Thanedar was later accused of abandoning over a hundred dogs in the facility, where they were being used for chemical testing.
Moreover, Thanedar's stance on life has been questionable. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America gave him a rating of "F," stating, "Rep. Thanedar has consistently voted to eliminate or prevent protections for the unborn and for children born alive after failed abortions." The organization also noted that Thanedar had voted to eliminate prohibitions on taxpayer funding for abortion, both domestically and internationally.
In light of these facts, it seems that Thanedar's priorities lie more with protecting terrorists than safeguarding innocent lives, whether they be unborn children or man's best friend. This is a stark reminder of the importance of upholding traditional values and the sanctity of life, principles that seem to be increasingly overlooked in today's political climate.
