Last night on the Eva Veterans Day, 211 House Republicans blocked a vote to impeach him, and so they didn't just vote against impeachment, they voted to shut down the entire debate before it even began. And this refusal to acknowledge, debate, or even consider taking action to hasten the war's end and removes Heg -Seth and his poisonous ideology is exactly the behavior that Americans literally just rejected a week ago, loudly and clearly. So last night's attempt to impose accountability fell short, and this is not the end of our fight. We will continue to fight because it's the right thing for our troops, it's the right thing for our military families, it's the right thing for our country. And there are more of us now, thankfully, than there were before.
