Status Coup’s Jon Farina is LIVE on Capitol Hill where veterans, their family members and fellow Americans will be commemorating Veteran’s Day by protesting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and demanding his removal.
This comes one day after the House blocked Hegseth’s impeachment, introduced by outgoing Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, largely thanks to eleven Democrats who did not show up to the vote. Those included:
Melanie Stansbury (New Mexico)
Marilyn Strickland (Washington)
Julia Brownley (California)
Lou Correa (California)
Laura Gillen (New York)
Steven Horsford (Nevada)
Jonathan Jackson (Illinois)
Nancy Pelosi (California)
Brittany Pettersen (Colorado)
Haley Stevens (Michigan)
Frederica Wilson (Florida)
On Truth Social, President Donald Trump called the results of Tuesday’s vote a total “exoneration” of Hegseth.
