"This is not patriotism, this is sabotage." Pete Hegseth breaks his silence after the impeachment request

On November 9, Congressman Thomas Massie initiated impeachment proceedings against Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, accusing him of abuse of power related to military operations in Iran. Hegseth dismissed the allegations as a farce, arguing that such actions undermine U.S. military personnel and their operations. He emphasized his pride in military actions taken and vowed to defend service members against accusations. Former President Donald Trump expressed support for Hegseth, criticizing Massie's actions and highlighting Hegseth's military successes. This impeachment attempt is notable as it recalls the only previous case in 1876 involving Secretary of War William Belknap, who resigned before being impeached but was acquitted by the Senate.
