House Democrat Demands Impeachment, Not of War Profiteers, But a TV Pundit
Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) has heroically announced articles of impeachment against Fox News host Pete Hegseth, alleging—wait for it—Hegseth denied the results of the 2020 election . This timely intervention comes as Thanedar himself received donations from defense contractors and PACs historically tied to hawkish foreign policy, yet finds the nation's gravest threat in a pundit's past remarks. (A
pundit, by the way, who has never voted on a defense bill or approved a weapons package costing taxpayers billions.) While Thanedar champions the integrity of American elections by targeting a media personality, the broader conversation around actual threats to democracy—like the outsized, often opaque influence of corporate lobbying on foreign policy, or the hundreds of millions spent by special
interest groups to sway elections—remains conveniently ignored. Perhaps once he's finished impeaching every talking head, he'll tackle the real money in politics.
