Hegseth: If Supporting Trump Makes Me a Target, I Am Willing to Accept It

November 10 — According to Jinshi Data, U.S. Secretary of Defense Hegseth said: "They once impeached President Trump over a perfect phone call. Then they impeached him again in the final week of his first presidential term. Both times it failed. He came back stronger, and the American people sent him back to the White House. Now they are trying to launch a third impeachment, this time against a member of his Cabinet. They will fail again. If supporting President Trump makes me one of their targets, then whenever it comes, I am willing to accept that."

U.S. Secretary of Defense Hegseth said: "Five years ago, America suffered humiliation in Kabul, Afghanistan, and enemies around the world took notice. But what is hard to understand is that, as the President pointed out yesterday, there was no impeachment action at that time. There should have been an impeachment vote over that disastrous withdrawal — against Lloyd Austin (former U.S. Secretary of Defense). When he left his post without authorization and was out of contact for more than a week, there was no impeachment vote."

U.S. Secretary of Defense Hegseth said: If Iran takes the wrong action, we are fully ready and standing by. The impeachment resolution is a mockery of the Constitution and an attack on the chain of command. We will continue to protect America, defeat our enemies and rebuild the military.
