TOTAL VICTORY!
The referral of these baseless impeachment articles to the House Judiciary Committee marks total victory for Secretary Hegseth, the Department of War, and the American warfighter. From the beginning, this effort has been a political exercise devoid of merit, evidence, or seriousness. It collapses under the weight of Secretary Hegseth’s record of restoring the warrior ethos, delivering results, and putting the mission first. The American people see through it.
We will not indulge the political theater driven by a disgruntled soon-to-be former congressman and others who have chosen grandstanding over governing. We look forward to ending this sham impeachment in the committee room, where facts will continue to prevail and this distraction can be put to rest.
We will always stand tall and fight to defend the Republic!
For 47 years, Iran has killed innocent people, protesters, Americans, and has waged war on the West through jihadist terrorism.
President Trump had the courage that no other president had — to take on the Iranian threat with full force.
He didn't kick the can. He kicked their teeth in.
