Yโall do know that yesterdayโs vote was NOT a vote to impeach Pete Hegseth, right?
It was a procedural vote on whether to REFER the articles of impeachment to the Judiciary Committee.
A YES vote meant sending the articles to committee rather than proceeding immediately with impeachment.
A NO vote meant rejecting that procedural maneuver so the impeachment effort could potentially move forward.
Nobody voted on whether to actually impeach Pete Hegseth yesterday.
And yes, I understand why some of yโall are upset that several Democrats got stuck in traffic and missed the vote. The vote was reportedly open for approximately 23 minutes, and some members arrived after it closed.
But even if those Democrats had made it and defeated the referral motion, that STILL would not have meant Pete Hegseth was impeached. The House would have needed to vote on the actual articles.
We can discuss accountability without misrepresenting what happened.
The misinformation on this app is dangerous, especially when people are repeating things they clearly do not understand.
Learn the difference between a procedural vote and a substantive vote before telling everybody what Congress did.
@ManigoRicky The Republicans protected Hegseth. They'll be more impeachment proceedings after Democrats take power at the top of the year. Stay tuned...
"They're taking our jobs" is the same thing the KKK said about Black people... now you have (some) Black people saying that about immigrants... all of that is fear-based & weak.
If you voted for Bush both times, I disagree but donโt hate you.
If you voted for McCain, I disagree but donโt hate you.
If you voted for Mitt Romney, I disagree but I donโt hate you.
If you voted for Trump in 2016, you ignored a lot of shit. But you may have made an error in judgment. I could forgive some of you who thought heโd be different.
If you voted for Trump in 2020 and beyond, you voted for exactly what he campaigned on. YOU are fundamentally broken.๏ฟผ
I canโt find an ounce of respect for your support for ICE, removing fairness and protection of minority groups and women, tireless trade wars against the entire world, forever wars we donโt know how to get out of, or a president whoโs listed in the files over 38,000 times.
MLK Jr is the highest ranked non president person when it comes to most influential Americans of all time. He won the noble peace prize. Preached unity among all races & is the reason that racism can actually be prosecuted in this country. Charlie Kirk called him awful
