Progressives erupted at House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and the 11 Democrats who failed to show up for Tuesday's vote on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, allowing Republicans to kill the effort despite their narrow House majority.
It doesn’t matter it takes 67 senate votes to convict, he can’t be removed either now or later. The point of the vote was whether Massie gets to make everybody in the House go on record voting whether they support illegally starting two wars, murdering 200 elementary school children, and massacring Caribbean fishermen under no quarter. Which is why a lot of these Democrats sat it out, they were the ones cheering Hegseth on when he did all that shit and don’t want to have to stand by it now that they’ve noticed the peasants are unhappy.
