It's time to impeach Pete Hegseth.
Please support Rep. Ansari's articles of impeachment. Vote to impeach and remove him.
Pete Hegseth was already manifestly unfit for the role of secretary of the DoD when he was nominated and confirmed. He lacked appropriate credentials, experience and character: a TV presenter with a rap sheet for alcoholism, spousal abuse and no experience leading any organization of a size and complexity remotely similar to the DoD and our armed forces.
From Signalgate to No Quarter orders to bombing a girls' school, he has committed war crimes according to US and international law, not just once or twice but repeatedly. He has endangered our troops. He has been a serial betrayer of his oath to the constitution. His inflammatory rhetoric demonstrates that he lacks the judgement and moral seriousness for his role. The racism and gender evident in his promotion decisions will be challenged and defeated in court as unconstitutional.
Armed conflicts are not a war game.
We are not waging a medieval Christian crusade. Hegseth's crusade rhetoric violates the constitutional separation of church and state and proscription of established religion.
Rep Ansari states: "Pete Hegseth broke his oath to the Constitution, put U.S. troops at grave risk through the unauthorized disclosure of classified information, engaged in abuse of office and conduct beneath the dignity of his office, and carried out unlawful military actions despite his obligation to refuse—including strikes on civilians and a girls’ school in Minab, Iran. Hegseth’s conduct meets the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors and warrants immediate removal by Congress."
In short: Hegseth's crimes and misdemeanours are egregious and indisputable.
We must not permit him to betray the constitution and violate international law. Congress must say NO to reckless endangerment of our troops and contempt for the lives of civilians.
Hegseth is a threat to life and the rule of law.
Your own sworn duty to the constitution requires you to remove him.
I hope I can count on your integrity. There were already calls to impeach Hegseth at the time of Signalgate. It's now past time. Please participate in the process to ensure that Hegseth is removed.
