Can you hear those chickens coming home to roost? 

Secretary of Defense and white people DEI hire Pete Hegseth is on a warpath to try and save his job as articles of impeachment have been levied against him over his recklessness in getting America into a war with Iran that only benefits Israel. 

“What one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting is not oversight, and it’s not accountability. It’s a political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment,” Hegseth said after Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., presented eight impeachment articles, CNBC reports.

“It’s a farce, and it’s a stunt, and everybody knows it,” Hegseth said during his first Pentagon news conference in six months.

The articles accuse Pete Hegseth of getting America into a useless war without Congress’s input, “carrying out extrajudicial killings tied to boat strikes in the Caribbean against purported drug smugglers and suppressing free speech by targeting Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., a military veteran,” CNBC reports. 

Massie, a lame duck congressman who lost his Republican primary in May, has been battling Trump ever since it was clear he had nothing to lose. The impeachment battle comes just after the Blue beatdown during the midterm election, which will flip the House and the Senate to Democratic control.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who will most likely be the next Speaker of the House, said Sunday that Democrats are all in on impeaching Hegseth. 

A procedural motion vote in the House is set for Tuesday on the impeachment resolution. Should it pass, then the measure would proceed to a debate and an actual vote. Impeachment resolutions have to be dealt with, meaning that they can’t be ignored. The House must decide how to act on them, or table them or vote to refer them to committee. 

Hegseth has been whining ever since Massie presented the articles of impeachment against him, claiming they are a “stunt” that sends dangerous messages to America’s opps.

“It puts a target on the backs of American warriors by signaling that Congress will undermine their missions in real time,” Hegseth said. “This is not patriotism. This is sabotage.”

Shortly after Hegseth’s complaint fest, Trump took to his personal social media site Truth Social to post that the Pentagon chief “gets an ‘A’ PLUS, PLUS, PLUS for his defense against a disgruntled, angry, defeated, former Congressman, Thomas Massie, a TOTAL LOSER!”

Trump knows a thing or two about impeachments, considering he’s been impeached twice during his first presidential term, so of course he’s going to stand by Hegseth no matter how the House impeachment goes. 

Republicans hold a slim 218-214 majority in the House.

“If Hegseth is impeached, the Senate would be tasked with holding a trial and voting on whether to remove him from office. A two-thirds majority is required for conviction and removal. No U.S. Cabinet secretary has ever been removed by the Senate, though two have been impeached,” CNBC reports.
