An effort to impeach US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of waging war on Iran without congressional authorisation, has failed on Capitol Hill. A ma…

Massie, a Republican, got it on the record that the Republican caucus voted along partisan lines to support Hegseth. This will not go unnoticed and the Democrats who thought that they could work across the aisle just got a massive reality check.
Hegseth is not much of a leader or a strategist he has fallen miserably in this unprovoked and unlawful war in Iran but he has a very big advantage. He has master he art of Ass kissing and to Trump this is very essential.
HEGSETH <br>Is only Marking Time he'll be Home for Christmas but after that He's TOAST.
Nobody has formally or ‘properly’ declared war to congress since 1942
hegseth into prison!
the dems who did not show up should be thrown out for not doing their only job!!
America is weak
Don't dorget that the republicans still hold the congress
So there was only ONE vote for impeaching Hesgeth ? ? Thought that needed more emphasis than the BBC seemed to want to give .<br>Clearly the BBC seems disappointed that it didn't succeed ? ?<br>This seems to be the priority for the Democrats shouldnt they be focusing on the cost of living needs of ordinary American voters rather than vindictive political theatre ?<br>It's also a question a non biased journalist SHOULD HAVE been asking ? <br>However , it's the BBC or the Biden Broadcasting Corporation as it used to be known , so sadly no real surprises there ! !
Damn, thought Mike Tyson would’ve got his job.
all for show time...the evil ppl are still waling around scott - free...see, trump so many evil things done, nvm even smell a prison cell before, just talking, talking only😁
War monger, jail term is looming
When a party has nothing but bad and destructive ideas, they spend their time attacking the opposition instead.
It was almost bound to fail this time but next time it will not, he is living on borrowed time.
Massey will get the last laugh! LOL
Next time in january the impeachment will succeed. And point to note that the dems did not try to impeach hesgeth. It was a Republican. So trump was wrong as usual.
The Lord God Almighty has commanded that we forgive those who don't believe in the Last Day. <br><br>So let us forgive those who don't believe in accountability that we all may also be forgiven for the wrong that we do. <br><br>Leave this mans account with the Lord God Almighty, His Lord and our Lord. <br><br>May peace be upon you all, dear neighbours.
Defending incompetence.
I cannot believe that the Republican congress members have completely ignored the American people‘s vote of no confidence and continue to back insane unqualified criminals
Why no mention of murder of children at primary schoolwhich was a major factor in case for impeachment.try showing the speech rather than gaslighting
too soon. we'll get him in January.
This situation is far more tactically complex than standard media coverage suggests.<br>Skipping the vote or citing absence can be a convenient political cover for Democrats who want to avoid officially voting alongside Republicans to table the measure.<br>Furthermore, many Democrats argue that forcing a rushed impeachment under the current MAGA-Republican House majority effectively lets Secretary Hegseth off the hook too easily—giving him a quick procedural acquittal. Waiting until after the new majority takes office on January 3 allows for thorough committee investigations into these severe allegations, rather than letting a GOP-led vote sanitize the issue now.<br>Notably, 11 Democrats missed this tight vote. While 4 of them had verifiable logistics or emergency reasons, the remaining 7 share strong ties to AIPAC, pro-Israel networks, or the neoliberal centrist wing of the party. For lawmakers caught between donor interests and a base demanding accountability, strategic absence was ultimately the only rational way to avoid a politically suicidal vote on the floor. Just saying.
The Republicans need to lead any impeachments. Not the Democrats. The Democrats must demonstrate that they will focus on the electorate and their issues and not on Washington DC politics. This is the best way to encourage the Republicans to also focus on the people they represent and by doing so, distance themselves from Trump and his vulgar form of politics. Failure to act constructively and then distance themselves from Trump will only make them look like rats abandoning a sinking ship.
The USA is out of control and stuck in a political Stockholm Syndrome. Time to ignore the USA as its in its death throes.
THE STAUNCH GUY IS SCARED HAHAHAHAHAHAHA BLUE EYES HAHAHAHAHAA
Why not wait until January? Would have been slam dunk
What Trump should do is resign and give JD Vance to run the country for the next two years.
Politico is essentially a left wing outlet , to some extent like your own. Congressman Massie is an ardent opponent of Trump and this kind action by him got to be expected. Previous Democratic Presidents knew Iran could be a significant threat to Western democracies but did not have the guts to act.
Hegseth will become a Hasbeen it's only a matter of time ! Shame on the absent Democrates, we will remember them !
Now we know they can’t be trusted 😊 arrest them all
Watching you BBC from Soroti city to Kampala city ugandas capitals some times in Soroti city or Kampala city mainly always we listen to you BBC yes ok
Excellent. Hegseth stays & President Trump stays. No to the JD Vance’s Tuckers Candace-Andrew Tate-Russell Brand Criminals and woke right who blame Israel for everything and to elevate themselves politically.
...why Dems..what now,..🙏🙏🙏
See you in January
Its not just a matter of impeachment, he needs to be also brought to justice, in the new congress context. Smart move by Democrats.
The United States of Corrupt. USC! USC! USC!
The only thing sadder than the bully republicans are the loser democrats
Silky, usa 😂 fail iron
Impeaching him is not getting rid of him. You need the republicans to agree for that, or a super majority.
I think Lawmaker Thomas forgot that making friends is far better then making enemies
Wow who would have thought it, another failure by Democrats in Congress. I'm convinced they want America to fall on its sword. All 11 of those who failed to turn up should be fired
With the previous korean president of Yoon's government for 2 years, there were nearly 30 ministers and government officials being impeached. Then he declared the martial law. Now we have a communist democrat gov. <br><br>The whole world is fighting from the far leftie radicals, and not many countries are left to do that. All the countries are going through the same political situations.
Those 11 dems who don’t show are exactly the reason for sweeping changes to come in January when the New Democrats get sworn in.
This is why I'm disgusted with both parties 11 Dems failed to show up wtf ?
Couldn’t wait till Jan??
It's only failed for now. Wait until the new session in the new year
Also doch nur Lügen das die Demokraten eine Veränderung bringen wollen 😂😂😂😂wenn man ich bezahlen lässt und sich erkauft an den meistbietenden
Well it does kinda make sense, if he's kicked out now his replacement is going to take the fall for all Hegseth & Trump's idiocy ... so leave him in so the blame falls squarely on him.
Good. Next get trump and musk.
The vote was halted for months by not having congress gather as they were afraid that impeachment of Hegseth would go through. What they are doing now is forcefully do it prematurely while they still have a chance to block it. But I expect this to come round in januari when the members have changed and Hegseth probably gets impeached then. This was basically too early and doing harm to the actual attempt next year.
Ffs
no worries....will be done in January
Democratic individuals ~ who didn’t turn up should be sacked
no worries....will be done in January
See you all in January
The vote was to send the impeachment straight to the house committee. This would bypass impeachment proceedings on the house floor, and send it straight to the Republican run committee. The real impeachment vote comes in January.
Right he’s did a great job
Justice delayed, justice denied. Impeach him NOW!
A very disappointing start for Democrats who didn't even bother to show up to vote. DO BETTER!!
وَءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ هُدٗى لِّبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ أَلَّا تَتَّخِذُواْ مِن دُونِي وَكِيلٗا (2) ذُرِّيَّةَ مَنۡ حَمَلۡنَا مَعَ نُوحٍۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَبۡدٗا شَكُورٗا
This is the way in US, you punish the secretary not the boss.
Kerp in mind, the GOP still holds majority in the House and Senate...though it's a narrow majority in the House...and the GOP very much threw their weight behind blocking the impeachment. Without the majority vote in the House, this impeachment didn't have a prayer of getting off the ground, not until the newly elected reps take office. <br><br>We'll see. The newly elected Democrats don't take office until January, and we've already got Trump tossing temper tantrums and spouting threats.
😂😂😂
THis was brought by a Republican! !!!! ROLL ON JANUARY 2027.
Both of the need to be impeached.
The Republicans have learned zero from their massive mid term defeat then…..
This gave the republicans the chance to prove they are no longer under the thumb of trump, they failed.
Who is trump talking to when he’s saying the Dem are weaponiz and abusing the USA. They must be stopped. Is saying that to his Far Right Nationalist Base ? Sounds like it
Impeach and remove PBH
Not a loss. Just the battle lines drawn. The spineless republicans just stood with a war criminal who will eventually be impeached and may well be handed over to the ICC for crimes against humanity.
good guys always win 🥇
Americans are Americans. Take a note world.
Cry a river guys, it didn't work!
Trump is a Loser! He lost House, Senate and Last Wars against Iran! How he can Defend Hegseth saying He was Victorious! Taxpayers Money Lost and Inoccent People died during theses wars!!
Wait until January. Good things come to those who wait… and prepare.
Why didn't he wait?
And the GOP keeps digging.
Eleven Democrats, who could have swung the outcome, did not even bother to show up. <br>That includes Nancy Pelosi.
DEMOCRATS PARTY USING LAW FARE SYSTEM AND DEMOCRATS JUDGES TO SILENCE THEIR POLITICAL OPPONENTS IN AMERICA 🇺🇸 AGAIN AND AGAIN...LOL 😂
the system is rigged
A preview of life under the D's: too busy with cocktail parties to attend a critical vote.
Why are the comments turned off on the Russel brand video ? Why is the tone so heavily biased ? What’s the reason the comments are turned off ? Just wondering
Stupid move. Too early for this.
Before January trump will throw him out of his office.
Israelis block vote. Dems also corrupt.
Stupid America nothing has changed
11 absent Democrat votes caused this. There is a silver lining. This emboldens Hegseth not to resign or get fired. Democrats relish this fight and the world will watch.
the USA will never deliver justice - thats just the way it is. It's a failed state and wont make it to 2030.
It's more strategic to wait until January so the Democrats can ensure that the next pick won't be worse.
Republicans still have the majority until January. I'm not sure what the point is. And even after that the Democrats will not have 2/3rds of the Senate to remove him. Otherwise they could just get rid of Trump himself. Just a waste of time.
Americans still haven't figured out that both parties are two faces of the same coin.
Democrats didn’t show up to vote!…I can hear Netanyahu laughing from here!😂
They have only delayed Hegseth's 'Day of Reconning'. Without a doubt he will be held accountable as a war criminal. Roll on January 2027.
No, Hegseth is the major loser! Can't wait until the swamp is drained.
To impeach Hegseth was a stupid, useless action. It actually shows that Democrats don't have a good strategy how to deal with Trump
when will republicans learn that "we the people" want to get rid of corruption and want to stop the war? He will not be held responsible now but he will be in January 2027!
