Republican loser Thomas Massie just lost his impeachment push against Pete Hegseth, with all Republicans voting to block it.
Here’s more from Fox News:
House GOP leaders blocked an impeachment vote against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Tuesday.
All Republicans but Rep. Thomas Massie, who led it, opposed the measure. All Democrats were in support.
Massie’s privileged resolution, which bypasses the will of the chamber’s majority, would have set up a full House impeachment vote likely Wednesday. It spans eight articles accusing Hegseth of misusing his office, covering the Iran war, U.S. strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean, and his retaliation against Sen. Mark Kelly over a video calling on troops to disobey “unlawful orders.”
The outgoing Kentucky Republican was able to force Tuesday night’s vote over the objections of House GOP leaders by filing a privileged resolution, a mechanism aimed at bypassing the will of the chamber’s majority. A privileged resolution must be considered within two legislative days of being filed.
All Democrats present backed moving forward with the impeachment on Tuesday evening, as expected. All Republicans but Massie voted to kill the resolution.
But some were worried earlier in the day about weak attendance potentially clearing the path for an actual impeachment vote.
“I’m going to vote no,” Rep. Jake Ellzey, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital. “I don’t know if any Republicans other than Massie will be in support of his articles of impeachment, but, I don’t even know how many Republicans will be here by the time of the vote. The real question is how short are we. Numerically, if they’re all here and were not, what happens then?”
Ellzey called the impeachment effort “a ridiculous waste of time.”
I’m so glad that not a single Republican indulged this loser.
UPDATE: Trump just wrote…
The Democrats’ attempt to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has miserably FAILED! Every single Republican, except Thomas Massie, a major LOSER, voted in favor of Pete. Again, Victories in Venezuela and Iran, the Best Recruitment Numbers in the History of the Military (Long waiting lists to get in!), and Spirit like rarely seen before, led to the EXONERATION of a Great American Patriot. The Democrats continue to weaponize and abuse the United States of America. They must be stopped! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. President DONALD J. TRUMP
