Rep. Craig Statement on Pete Hegseth Impeachment Vote

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Representative Angie Craig released the following statement on her vote to pursue the impeachment of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. 

“Pete Hegseth is an embarrassment to the state of Minnesota and will be remembered as the least competent Secretary of Defense in history. Time and time again, his carelessness and poor decision-making have threatened our national security and put American servicemembers and our allies in harm’s way. He has repeatedly betrayed the American people, and above all, has made it clear that his loyalty lies with President Trump, and President Trump only.  

Most recently, Hegseth’s illegal war in the Middle East has put Americans at home and abroad at risk and driven up costs on everything from gas to groceries. At a time when folks are already struggling to afford the basics, Minnesotans can’t afford Hegseth’s reckless America-last policies. I’ve been calling for his resignation since the very beginning and yesterday, I voted to proceed to impeach him.”
