John Oliver calls for Pete Hegseth's impeachment in 35-minute takedown

Democrats' sweeping midterm victories have emboldened John Oliver to launch a scathing 35-minute critique of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on "Last Week Tonight," calling for his impeachment and removal from office. Oliver mocked Hegseth's "no fatties" speech to troops, his sexual assault allegations, and the Signal scandal where a journalist was added to a classified group chat. He also criticized Hegseth's gutting of the civilian harm mitigation program, linking it to a tragic strike in Iran. Democrats including Reps. Thomas Massie and Hakeem Jeffries have backed impeachment efforts. The Pentagon defended Hegseth's positions, with a spokesperson reportedly telling Oliver to "Deport John Oliver."
