Republican Congressman Tries Impeaching Defense Secretary Weeks Before Midterms, Chaos Ensues
KEY POINTS
- â˘Thomas Massie publicly proposed impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on September 15, 2026, citing constitutional violations.
- â˘Massie had lost his primary earlier this year after Donald Trump and Hegseth encouraged voters to oppose him.
- â˘The impeachment proposal complicates matters for House Republicans just weeks before the November 3 midterm elections.
In a plot twist more tangled than a conspiracy theory TikTok, Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, who lost his primary after Trump and Pete Hegseth urged voters to turn on him, launched an impeachment proposal against Hegseth on September 15, 2026. Massie accuses the Defense Secretary of âconstitutionally illegalâ behavior over Iran war decisions and civilian deaths worldwideâbecause nothing says âsave my political careerâ like poking a bear with the House Republican midterms lurking. With the 3 November midterms just weeks away, this move threatens to turn GOP unity into a reality show meltdown, proving once again that in politics, the dramaâs the real war zone.
