Rubio Stands Firm With Hegseth In Face Of Massie Impeachment Bid: ‘Done A Great Job’

Secretary of State Marco Rubio weighed in Monday on War Secretary Pete Hegseth — who is already being targeted for impeachment by incoming Democrats and at least one outgoing House Republican.

Rubio made it clear he stood firmly behind Hegseth and believed he’d done an excellent job in his current role, saying the people attacking Hegseth were doing so because of politics rather than any real failure on the War Secretary’s behalf.

“I think he’s done a great job. I mean, I’ve worked with him every single day on many of these topics, I’ve seen the work he does and seen the professionalism he brings to it,” Rubio said. “He’s very smart, he works very hard, he puts a lot of hours into this. And on all of the policy issues we’ve worked on together, I think he’s done a very good job.”

One reporter tried to ask about artificial intelligence, but another reporter cut in with a follow-up on Hegseth. Specifically, did it concern Rubio that one of the loudest voices calling for Hegseth’s impeachment was a Republican: ousted Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, who lost his primary and will be replaced in January.

“I think it’s unfair,” Rubio replied. “Yeah, look, I think it’s — I think Pete’s done a good job, I really do. Again, I work with him, and so I see perhaps a side of him that the media doesn’t see and members of Congress may not see. But I think Pete works really hard; he’s incredibly smart.”

Rubio went on to note that Hegseth and the War Department had been instrumental in delivering on key priorities — in Iran and around the world — for President Donald Trump’s administration.

“But obviously politics are politics,” Rubio concluded, acknowledging that there would always be opposition but saying again that he believed Hegseth had done a great job as War Secretary.
