MS NOW reacts to GOP Rep. Massie’s impeachment articles against Hegseth | COMPILATION

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) introduced eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegset on the House floor. Massie attempted to force an impeachment vote against Hegseth before the 2026 midterm elections, but that vote was blocked by Speaker Mike Johnson. Retired United States Navy Rear Admiral John Kirby, legal journalist Cristian Farias and Vanity Fair Contributing Writer Chris Whipple join Katy Tur with reaction and analysis. Plus, MS NOW is exclusively reporting that Pete Hegseth relied on “newly invented criteria” when withholding promotions from senior military leaders, including many women and people of color. Rachel Maddow looks at the litany of reasons why Congress would want to impeach Pete Hegseth and speculates that there may even be the votes in Congress to do so by the end of the week.
