Before leaving for a South Carolina rally Thursday, President Trump called Democratic talk of impeaching War Secretary Pete Hegseth "terrible" and praised him as "a great warrior," the Washington Examiner reported. House Democrats filed six impeachment articles against Hegseth in April, and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) says he will force a vote on impeachment articles after the midterms.
