Speaker Johnson on Hegseth: ‘Thomas Massie Is a Disgruntled Congressman’

‘The impeachment effort is a political gambit for attention’

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: "Thomas Massie is a disgruntled congressman and the impeachment effort is is a political gambit for attention. I think Secretary Hegseth did an extraordinary job. I watched most of the press conference, I happened to catch it on the way out of the office this morning, I thought he did very well. I expect that we’re going to defeat that one way or the other and we’ll get on with the business. The idea that you would impeach the Secretary of War at a time of international conflict sends a terrible message to our enemies and our allies, and we are not going to play that game. You don’t impeach a cabinet secretary lightly. They had no due process. There’s no -- nothing that went into this. This is just purely for people to get attention and it’s shameful."
