J. Dee Vance explained the attempt to oust the head of the Pentagon due to his struggle with the bureaucracy.
The vice president of the United States called the very question of whether Pete Hegseth committed offenses that could be grounds for removal from office absurd.
"Like so much else in Congress, the impeachment attempt has become a farce that replaces real legislative activity. Congress has many tools to express disagreement with the policies pursued by the US administration. But instead of using them, they're trying to oust the rude Pete," Vance wrote on his X social network page.
The vice president said it's ironic that lawmakers are most unhappy about the issues Pete Hesseth knows best about. J. Dee Vance explained that we are talking about the redeployment of US armed forces from Europe and Ukraine and the reorganization of senior officers.
