Rhode Island Congressman Gabe Amo Vows To Keep Pressing For Pete Hegseth Impeachment

Rhode Island Congressman Gabe Amo vowed to keep pressing to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

"I will keep calling for his impeachment and pushing to hold him accountable," Amo said in a statement released after his impeachment vote Tuesday.

“Pete Hegseth was never qualified to lead the Pentagon and has shown a reckless disregard for our troops, civilian lives, and the Constitution he swore to uphold," Amo said.

"But tonight, rather than hold him accountable for the illegal war with Iran, deadly strikes at sea, retaliation against a sitting U.S. Senator, and unauthorized military actions in Venezuela and Yemen, Republicans gave him a free pass," the congressman said.

"His incompetence has contributed to the deaths of 23 American service members, the destabilization of the Middle East, and high gas and grocery prices for families in Rhode Island," Amo said. "You don't get to send Americans to war, recklessly kill civilians, drive up costs at home, and walk away without answering for it."
