US President Donald Trump came out in support of secretary of war Pete Hegseth amid calls for his impeachment, saying that Hegseth had won two wars and reaffirmed his support for the defence chief.
“Well, he won two wars.
I don’t know how you can impeach him,” Trump said in a brief phone interview to Reuters . “Well, what about impeaching the people from Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and all of that, where we fought forever and nothing happened?”
He’s incredibly smart,” AP reported. “Defeated Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, a total loser, is trying to Impeach perhaps the most popular and successful military official in the Country, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. With recruitment at an ALL-TIME HIGH, from an all-time low under Sleepy Joe Biden, and TWO VICTORIES, Venezuela and Iran, Pete Hegseth should be praised, not Impeached. Congress, stand up for Pete!!! “I work with him. “But I think Pete works really hard.
Trump said on Truth Social. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also defended his fellow Cabinet secretary, saying that he believes Hegesth has been doing “a great job” and that its unfair that a Republican is pushing the impeachment effort. And so I see perhaps a side of him that the media doesn’t see and members of Congress may not see,” Rubio told reporters at the Group of Seven industrialized democracies gathering in Paris. “We’re not worried about that,” Hegseth said, when asked if he had enough Republican support to defeat articles of impeachment.
Responding to calls for his impeachment, Hegseth on Monday said he was ready to defend his record at the Pentagon , Reuters reported.
We could come up with the best bill we could come up with, and he would always vote against it.
There’s something wrong with him,” the President said, according to ANI.
