Desi Lydic on Democrats missing Hegseth impeachment vote, Digi Mart USA News: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced eight articles of impeachment on Tuesday, with charges accusing him of violating federal law and the Constitution.
On “The Daily Show,” host Desi Lydic said, “Yes, finally!” and added, “This is huge, someone actually going after Pete Hegseth, and not just for child support!”
Republicans managed to shelve the impeachment effort, however, after 11 Democrats missed the vote. Lydic criticized them, saying, “Are you kidding me?
A chance to impeach the secretary of defense, and 11 of you couldn’t be bothered to come to work?”
Lydic also said, “This is a major ‘L’ for Democrats,” and joked about a tattoo of Hakeem Jeffries. She added, “These aren’t, like, nobodies — OK, one of them is Haley Stevens, but not all of them are nobodies!”
On the same night’s late-night rundown, Seth Meyers said Hegseth “survived a House vote yesterday on a resolution to impeach him,” adding, “as usual with Hegseth, I’m sure there’ll be another round.”
Meyers also commented on former President Joe Biden’s forthcoming memoir, which details a 2021 letter from President Trump. Meyers said, “You’re telling me Donald Trump wrote that?”
