Shortly after US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared during a Tuesday press conference that he was proud of the alleged war crimes he’s committed, a Democratic lawmaker representing one of the largest military communities in the US came out in favor of his impeachment.

Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-Calif.), who represents a significant portion of San Diego, explained why she would vote to advance Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-Ky.) articles of impeachment against Hegseth in a Tuesday social media post.

In supporting Hegseth’s removal from office, Jacobs cited “the illegal Iran war, illegal strikes in Yemen (where he mishandled classified information via Signal), and over 200 murders in boat strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific,” where the US military has targeted suspected drug trafficking vessels.

“He’s dangerous and needs to go,” said Jacobs.
