Colorado Rep. Jason Crow scolds Democrats who missed Hegseth impeachment vote

Colorado Rep. Jason Crow criticized Democratic colleagues who missed Tuesday's House vote on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, saying their absence let the caucus down and must not happen again. The House narrowly rejected the impeachment resolution after 11 Democrats missed the vote, with many citing traffic after a nearby event. Crow said Hegseth should face trial regardless of whether President Trump fires him, citing "generational damage" to the military. Crow also urged Republican colleagues to publicly voice their private criticisms of Hegseth, calling private complaints "insulting." He accused Hegseth of incompetence and corruption, noting service members lack proper leadership.
