President Donald Trump was so pleased with War Secretary Pete Hegseth’s rebuttal on the calls for his impeachment, he gave the secretary an “‘A’ PLUS, PLUS, PLUS” for his Pentagon press briefing.
Hegseth took to the podium Tuesday morning to respond to the eight articles of impeachment introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) Monday.
The president took to Truth Social moments after Hegseth’s briefing.
“Pete Hegseth gets an ‘A’ PLUS, PLUS, PLUS for his defense against a disgruntled, angry, defeated, former Congressman, Thomas Massie, a TOTAL LOSER!” Trump wrote.
Hegseth had earlier called out Massie’s impeachment effort as a “farce” and a “stunt.”
Hegseth referred to Trump’s two previous impeachments, stating, “We’ve seen this show before,” as he predicted this latest effort would also fail.
The impeachment articles accuse Hegseth of abusing his authority and violating congressional war powers through military operations in Iran, Yemen and Venezuela. Hegseth rejected the allegations, insisting, “every one was a lawful operation.”
Hegseth defended the military campaign against Iran as the “right thing” to do for America’s “safety and security.”
He also attacked journalists, stating the media could never “admit military success” because they “hate the president” more than they love America and its troops.
