Hegseth's Critics Miss the Point The House of Representatives is set to vote on a resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, proposed by Republican Representative Thomas Massie from Kentucky.
This move marks a historic attempt to target a Cabinet member from their own party with impeachment articles, but it also illustrates how politicians often conflate process and purpose.
Massie's accusation that Hegseth has "abused the powers of the Department of Defense" stems from disagreements over military operations in Iran, Caribbean boat strikes, and disputes over free speech.
