WASHINGTON — War Secretary Pete Hegseth went on a fiery tirade Tuesday against Rep. Thomas Massie over his bid to impeach the Pentagon chief, accusing the “rogue legislator” of “sabotage.”
Hegseth, who took the unprecedented step of campaigning against Massie’s (R-Ky.) bid for re-election earlier this year while leading the US military, insisted that he has done nothing worthy of being just the third cabinet official in US history to be impeached, adding: “This is not patriotism. This is sabotage.”
NEW: “No Secretary of War or Secretary of Defense has ever been impeached for carrying out lawful military operations.”
Secretary Pete Hegseth pushes back against an impeachment threat, pointing to 250 years of American history and military operations under presidents from both parties.
He cites Reagan in Lebanon, Clinton in Kosovo, Obama in Iraq and Syria, and Biden’s operations in the same region.
