An Open Letter

To: Rep. Cleaver, Sen. Hawley, Sen. Schmitt

From: A verified voter in Kansas City, MO

October 1, 2025

Pete Hegseth must be impeached or plain old fired. His reckless rally of military generals was a costly stunt and open treason. He flew all our existing top brass to sit in one room and watch him speak words no American official should ever speak. He sounded, laughably, like a toddler trying to understand grownups, and failing. But he’s not a toddler. He’s a full grown adult with trillions of dollars of military might at his command. His words aren’t funny, they’re anti-constitutional, a violation of his oath, and an insult to every American, and I haven’t seen such a gross display of immorality since Yoo authorized torture in violation of reason, American ideals, and every law we claim to uphold. Even aside from the not inconsiderable violation of his Signal chat war crimes, he’s disastrously incompetent. Sitting all our generals in one room with days of prep that enemies could have used to eliminate them all. You should be embarrassed that he’s associated with the US government, let alone in such a command. Please amend this by removing him from the government entirely.
