Pou Supports Hegseth Impeachment

WASHINGTON, DC - Congresswoman Nellie Pou (D-NJ-09) today expressed her support for articles of impeachment introduced against U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

"The impeachment of executive officials by the House of Representatives is one of the gravest responsibilities we have and I take that responsibility seriously, which is precisely why I support Secretary Hegseth's impeachment," said Congresswoman Pou. "Mr. Hegseth's poisonous politicization of American defense, his relentless attacks on distinguished military leaders, and his failed stewardship of our conflict with Iran have made America weaker and emboldened our enemies. He is incompetent, cruel, destructive, and may be the worst Defense Secretary our country has ever had.

"Jammed into office by one vote under a cloud of serious criminal allegations, Pete Hegseth was never qualified either professionally or temperamentally to run the Pentagon. His approval by the Republican Senate was a colossal mistake. Congress can begin reversing the damage to America by removing him from office now."
