The Evening: House Republicans Shelve Hegseth Impeachment
Plus, worrisome inflation numbers. Here’s the latest at the end of Tuesday.
Fox News anchor Jesse Watters defended Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth against impeachment efforts, praising his military actions as "lethal and brilliant." The House Republicans dismissed a resolution that would have removed Hegseth from his position due to concerns over his conduct in office and the handling of the war in Iran.
Watters argued that Hegseth's actions were lawful, drawing comparisons to previous administrations' military strikes, such as Bill Clinton's actions with the Chinese embassy and the strikes carried out by former President Obama in Libya and President Biden's strikes in Yemen. He also defended Hegseth's surgical and effective military operations, which resulted in fewer American casualties compared to the official Pentagon count.
