House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who will likely be the Speaker of the House come January, said Sunday that he is a “hard yes” when it comes to impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

“I’m a hard yes on the Hegseth resolution. The so-called secretary of Defense has abused his power, undermined our national security and engineered this reckless and costly war of choice in Iran,” Jeffries said to ABC News’s Jonathan Karl on “This Week.”

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) had told Karl that he intends to introduce a resolution of impeachment against the defense secretary.

On what specific grounds?

Generic phrases. There needs to be specifics for a charge. As yet, I have not heard a single one.

He was following orders from the President. They would first need to prove the orders were illegal and then that Hegseth should have known they were illegal.

Yes, let's capitulate to the left even more.

It sure would be great if conservatives were a little more tribal.

Letting democrats remove your own Sec of War for doing nothing illegal is dumb. Keep bending over for the left, conservatives. It's what you're best at.

Been hearing this was pre negotiated and R leadership is fine with a couple sacrifices.

If the president is the CiC, how is the SoD/W responsible for following orders?

I’m not suggesting anyone should be impeached, I’m just trying to understand the logic.

Heggie was in over his head from the start. He has zero business being a Sec of Def.

Supporting the Iran war alone is an impeachable offense.

The other thing that is unforgivable for him is he has twice killed US drone research and improvements with the “too much cooperation with Ukraine” spill. We will likely find out later his reasoning centers around protecting MIC profits. Lockheed, Raytheon, and others don’t want $500 to $1000 drones taking the place of $1,000,000 missiles and $50,000 anti tank weapons.
