Massie: Pete Hegseth Was ‘Very Effective in Killing Schoolchildren in Iran’

RUSH EXCERPT:

MASSIE: “I’ve just introduced. I’ll be glad to take your questions on it. The one thing that I want to point out here is, um, a lot of, a lot of people are saying, well, I think Peter Heckseth is effective. He’s good at his job and so I don’t want to vote for these articles of impeachment. Well, the reality is we’re not indicting him for being bad at his job. In fact, he was very effective at killing schoolchildren in Iran. He was very effective at extrajudicial killings. There’s no argument in these impeachment articles that he’s ineffective. The argument here is that he’s broken laws and he’s violated the Constitution. And so, um, that’s the question put in front of my colleagues. Now I understand that some of them may want to vote for this because they just want to see Hegseth gone. I’ll welcome their vote if that’s that’s the reason and they choose not to read the articles of impeachment, but I would encourage people to take them very seriously.”
