@cspanofficial: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday called impeachment articles introduced against him by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) a "farce," arguing that he was only carrying out his duties. "Every one was a lawful operation, ordered by the commander in chief, then ordered by myself, notified to Congress and executed by American warriors who did their jobs," he said at a Pentagon briefing. "We destroyed terror regimes' capabilities, we sank the boats carrying poison into our communities, we put a narco-dictator in handcuffs. These are not high crimes. This is the job, and it's a job well done." The resolution's eight articles, introduced by Rep. Massie on Monday, accuse Secretary Hegseth of high crimes and misdemeanors related to the war in Iran, the operation to arrest Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, strikes on suspected drug-trafficking boats, military operations in Yemen and alleged retaliation against Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ). Secretary Hegseth called Rep. Massie a "disgruntled congressman" and rejected allegations that the U.S. military targets civilians as a "lie" and "slander." "The only people who target civilians are the terrorists that we hunt, and I will dignify this claim no further," he said. The Defense secretary also characterized the impeachment effort as a matter of "partisan policy disagreements" and accused its supporters of seeking to "politicize" the military. "These resolutions are a farce," he said. "They mock the Constitution, they attack the chain of command, and they criminalize the warfighters who execute lawful orders." #massie #hegseth #impeachment #cspan
