Arkansas "Republican" Says He Might Vote to Impeach Pete Hegseth

He talks like a tough guy -- he's trying to make his vote with the left sound #Based -- but he's a spoo-splattered cum chasm.*

A Republican congressman who narrowly won a seventh House term in deep-red Arkansas refused Sunday to rule out voting to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth.

"I want to hear the debate on it to see if it merits impeachment versus some other disciplinary action or action by the president, if he's not getting the job done in leading the Department of War," Rep. French Hill (R-Ark.) told CBS News' "Face The Nation."

Hill, 69, answered "no" when host Margaret Brennan asked if he was "satisfied with how the war has been handled."

"But, I mean, I think the commander in chief has to take the responsibility for the strategy of conducting the war and how it's been conducted," he added. "But I will tell you one thing. There's nobody in America that wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon."

The House is expected to vote sometime this week on a resolution to impeach Hegseth promoted by lame-duck Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who has vowed to force the issue unless the former Fox News host resigns.

"Not prosecuting a war perfectly" is not a grounds for impeachment. It's just a policy difference. And it's not really a policy difference at all because this pussy doesn't offer any of his own war policies that he can even claim would have been more effective.

As Jonathan Turley points out, the Democrats are admitting openly that they have scrapped the Constitution's requirement of high crimes and misdemeanors for impeachment and are now using it simply as a tool to fight for policy changes.

Rep. Jason Crow (D., Co.) just told Martha McCallum that the impeachment of Hegseth is "not really about impeachment" but rather just a desire to remove him. He said that this is just another means. That is precisely what the Framers did not want impeachment to become...

...Rep. Crow is speaking of impeachment as a way of forcing "a course change." It is exactly the cavalier attitude toward impeachment that can be so destabilizing for our country...

...He added "we have a tool called impeachment" that allows them to remove cabinet members like Hegseth if the President will not do so. When Martha pushed him on such "amorphous" objections, Crow said, "I would love to end the impeachment proceedings...just fire Pete Hegseth."

As Hegseth says: This sham impeachment is just their opening shot in using lawfare to get rid of anyone they don't like -- and that will eventually include ordinary civilians.
