Mehdi Hasan has shared his thoughts on the failed impeachment of US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. On Tuesday, November 10, Republican Congressman Thomas Massie brought forward the impeachment articles in the House, but they couldn't go through.The Democrats won the US midterm elections and will control the House starting in January 2027. Massie, however, brought forward articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth on Tuesday. The Democrats accused him of allegedly violating multiple US laws and of allegedly conducting military activities, including those related to the Iran war.The issue, however, was sent back to the committee after a 211-204 vote in the House. Moreover, 11 Democrats did not vote and are facing backlash. Journalist Mehdi Hasan also slammed these Democrats, mainly taking a dig at Haley Stevens. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter):"Of course one of them is Haley Stevens! Well done again with that endorsement, Chuck Schumer!"Hasan is referencing Stevens' endorsement of a Republican candidate for the US Senate from Michigan, Mike Rogers. She backed Rogers over the Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, who eventually won. El-Sayed had notably beaten Stevens in the Michigan Democratic primary.El-Sayed also slammed the Democrats who didn't show up to vote for Hegseth's impeachment proposal on Tuesday, saying on CNN:"You should show up and do your job."Representative-elect Richard Ojeda of North Carolina also criticized the Democrats who failed to vote, saying (h/t Newsweek):"This is important. They had an opportunity to finally get rid of this buffoonery that we have, and they failed."Notably, Massie had also brought forward the articles for Hegseth's impeachment in September. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, however, recessed the chamber without a vote.
