Donald Trump launched a brutal attack on Thomas Massie after the lame duck Congressman announced articles of impeachment for Pete Hegseth. Massie’s reasons for removing Hegseth include ‘high crimes and misdemeanors,’ as well as the kidnapping of a foreign leader and ignoring laws to minimize civilian casualties. Trump – who endorsed Massie’s successful primary challenger earlier this year – defended Hegseth and ripped the outgoing Congressman in a post to Truth Social.
‘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,’ he wrote. ‘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.’ At the press conference earlier Monday, when Collins asked Trump about Hegseth being the target of an impeachment effort led by Massie, the president grew enraged. ‘Massie’s a loser,’ Trump said, talking over Collins. ‘He’s a loser just like you at CNN.’
