United States Representative (Democratic) from Texas's 30th district.
Case
Congressional impeachment proposals against Pete Hegseth cite military operations, oversight, and Signal. Supporters say the allegations warrant removal; Hegseth disputed the description that anyone was “texting war plans,” and a Pentagon spokesperson called Ansari’s April impeachment effort a “charade.”
Role at the time: U.S. Representative for Texas's 30th congressional district
Statement summary
Rep. Jasmine Crockett said Speaker Johnson sent the House home early to avoid impeaching Hegseth.
“MAGA Mike canceled votes and sent the House home early — to avoid impeaching failed reality star Pete Hegseth. Costs are up. Work is unfinished. And Republicans? Headed home to campaign on their failed policies. The American people deserve a Congress that actually shows up for work.”
Crockett calls Hegseth a 'failed reality star' and frames Speaker Johnson's cancellation of votes as an effort to avoid impeaching him, an express condemnation of Hegseth that treats the impeachment push as warranted and being dodged.
