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.”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett's own Substack Notes post criticizing Speaker Mike Johnson for sending the House home early rather than holding an impeachment vote on Pete Hegseth.
Why we used this label
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.
