Y’all do know that yesterday’s vote was NOT a vote to impeach Pete Hegseth, right? It was a procedural vote on whether to REFER the articles of impeachment to the Judiciary Committee. A YES vote meant sending the articles to committee rather than proceeding immediately with impeachment. A NO vote meant rejecting that procedural maneuver so the impeachment effort could potentially move forward. Nobody voted on whether to actually impeach Pete Hegseth yesterday. And yes, I understand why some of y’all are upset that several Democrats got stuck in traffic and missed the vote. The vote was reportedly open for approximately 23 minutes, and some members arrived after it closed. But even if those Democrats had made it and defeated the referral motion, that STILL would not have meant Pete Hegseth was impeached. The House would have needed to vote on the actual articles. We can discuss accountability without misrepresenting what happened. The misinformation on this app is dangerous, especially when people are repeating things they clearly do not understand. Learn the difference between a procedural vote and a substantive vote before telling everybody what Congress did.
