'He Should Not Be the One Scapegoated': Mace Says She Is a 'No' on Hegseth Impeachment
Massie filed eight articles of impeachment over Hegseth’s Iran war actions, but Mace said the House should not scapegoat him.
On Tuesday, Republican Rep. Nancy Mace announced she will vote against the impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, stating the Iran war is "through no fault of his own."
Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie filed a privileged resolution on Monday containing eight articles of impeachment, alleging Hegseth waged the Iran war without congressional authorization and violated War Powers resolutions.
During a Pentagon press briefing, Hegseth labeled the charges "policy disagreements," while Mace expressed full support for "the changes Hegseth has made to the DoW to make our fighting force the very best it can be."
A vote is scheduled in the House for 5:30 p.m. today, and Massie stated that if the resolution clears a procedural motion, the House will proceed to "a real debate."
Democratic Congresswoman-elect Nancy Lacore will be sworn in this January to represent Mace's district; the retired Navy admiral was previously ousted from service under Hegseth's leadership.
