In the accompanying video, Rep. Yass Ansari states that Pete Hegseth testified this week before the House Armed Services Committee. She says he could not answer basic questions about the cost of the war to American taxpayers, take accountability for war crimes, or outline any clear strategy or endgame moving forward.

Responses to Rep. Yass Ansari’s Impeachment Announcement
Some users backed the effort, with one writing, “THANK YOU. How can we help you get the votes to impeach Hegseth?”
Others opposed it and questioned her authority, such as the comment, “We are only as strong as our weakest link, and many of those links reside in Congress. This woman has no business saying anything about our military or Pete Hegseth.”
Additional responses criticized her personally or politically. One commenter said, “Pete Hegseth is the best. You, on the other hand, are endorsed by NIAC, the Islamic Republic lobbyist group in the US, so you’re the one who’s clearly unfit.”
Another wrote, “As a lawyer for a quarter century, I don’t see any grounds for impeachment,” while raising questions about her priorities. A further comment called for removing her from her district, citing concerns about her associations.
The post continues to draw comments on X as users engage with Rep. Yass Ansari’s call for impeachment. It adds another point to the ongoing discussion about Pete Hegseth’s role.
