War Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters on a tarmac that he is not worried about impeachment even as Democrats take both chambers and a Republican colleague refiles articles against him.
Oh, were not worried about that, Hegseth said when the subject came up, inviting the press to join what he cast as a victory lap. He argued that politically motivated people want him removed despite what he called the administrations success, naming NATO burden-sharing and a counter cartel coalition among the wins.
Hegseth pointed to operations including Midnight Hammer, Absolute Resolve, Southern Spear, and Epic Fury as work that will change the face of the globe for generations. We are very proud of the progress, he added, framing the impeachment drive as noise around results.
Rep. Thomas Massie has already reintroduced articles accusing Hegseth of starting hostilities without congressional authorization and other alleged abuses. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries separately called himself a hard yes on the Hegseth resolution, saying the secretary abused his power and engineered this reckless and costly war of choice in Iran.
