Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) told Axios he is considering introducing articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth over reports he authorized a second strike on a purported drug boat in the Caribbean.
Why it matters: Thanedar could once again find himself in conflict with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who dismissed the prospect of impeachment during a press conference on Monday.
The Michigan congressman has repeatedly roused the anger of his Democratic colleagues this year by pushing rogue impeachment efforts against President Trump.
He briefly forced a Trump impeachment vote in May — as any individual House member can do with or without support from their leadership — but pulled it under intense pressure from party leaders.
You’re completely right. If they start actually getting a big majority, they’ll have to actually show some results on the promises they’ve made their voter. The thing is though, they don’t actually want to do any of it, they’re super content with everything as is, it’s just the only way to make people vote for them.
The democrat leadership doesn’t give 2 shits about people starving, or being uneducated, or being tortured in some immigration camp, but it sounds great during and election to fight against torturing children.
