New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill renewed her call for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s impeachment Tuesday, sharing a video of her earlier criticism as the House prepared to consider an impeachment resolution against him.
“I hear there is an impeachment vote happening in D.C.,” Sherrill wrote on X. She accompanied the post with a compilation of television appearances and congressional remarks questioning Hegseth’s competence and fitness to lead the Pentagon.
In the clips, Sherrill challenges his qualifications and criticizes his use of the messaging app Signal, saying it could have put American service members’ lives at risk. She also explicitly calls for his impeachment and removal from office.
The compilation includes footage identifying Sherrill as a congresswoman and candidate for governor, showing that she is bringing earlier statements back into the current debate. Her Tuesday post makes clear that she continues to support removing Hegseth. Sherrill’s post on X
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky introduced the impeachment resolution Monday. It alleges misconduct involving the administration’s military operations and other actions by Hegseth. House leaders could bring the resolution to a vote, refer it to a committee or move to block it. rollcall.com
Hegseth rejected the effort during a Pentagon briefing Tuesday, calling it a political spectacle and defending the military operations carried out under his leadership. President Donald Trump has also defended him. abcnews.com
