  "account": "Texas A&M fans greeted Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth with cheers when he made a pregame appearance at Kyle Field before the Aggies faced Kentucky on Saturday. Hegseth joined Gov. Greg Abbott and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, each introduced individually. Hegseth, 46, previously addressed Texas A&M's Corps of Cadets, praising the university for its strength and resolve. His visit comes after Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, attempted to impeach Hegseth over the war in Iran. Additionally, Hegseth appeared on ESPN's College GameDay in Austin a week prior, where he faced booing from Longhorn fans who wore burnt orange to discuss the Protect College Sports Act.",
