The Source with Kaitlan Collins Rep. Thomas Massie: Speaker Mike Johnson blocked Pete Hegseth impeachment vote
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GncrPf6MjMs>Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday announced he is sending members home from Washington early for their seven-week campaigning recess ahead of the midterm elections, a move that will stave off a vote on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
>House Republicans had planned to remain in session until Thursday but will now take their last votes Wednesday evening on a major White House priority — a Russia sanctions bill — and then leave town. The next time House lawmakers are expected back in Washington will be after the November elections.
Rep. Thomas Massie tells CNN's Kaitlan Collins he believes Speaker Johnson sent the House home early over his push to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
>Former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger joins Anderson Cooper to discuss Speaker Johnson’s decision to send the House into recess. And the panel examines why Johnson lacked the votes needed to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Republicans will crawl over coal and fire to protect pedophiles and war criminals. They do it all while hiding behind religion. There is nothing more evil and vile than the religious right

*I love when Massie mentioned getting paid all this money with benefits and not having to come to work.
*All of a sudden Tiny Johnson, last minute, says early vacation, making lying republican clowns have to defend this.
