GOP Rep. Matt Rosendale of Montana has announced plans to target Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for impeachment.In a statement‚ the lawmaker pointed to the Biden administration's badly botched Afghanistan withdrawal and the infamous Chinese spy balloon that flew over the U.S. last year. "Sec. Austin has violated his oath of office time and time again‚ and has jeopardized the lives of the American people‚" Rosendale said in the statement. "Sec. Austin is unfit for the Office of the Secretary of Defense‚ which is why I urge my colleagues to join me in impeaching him to protect the American people."The congressman also claimed the cabinet member "lied to our military and the American people about his health last week."Rosenadale's impeachment push comes amid uproar over the lack of transparency regarding Austin's hospitalization. Former President Donald Trump has called for the defense secretary to be fired and some Republicans have said Austin should resign.Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said in a January 5 statement that on January 1‚ Austin had been "admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for complications following a recent elective medical procedure." The defense secretary's chief of staff informed the White House national security advisor on January 4 about Austin's hospitalization‚ according to the Pentagon.In a statement on Monday‚ Ryder noted that Austin was still in the hospital. "He is recovering well and in good spirits. He is no longer in the Intensive Care Unit and is recovering in a more private area of the hospital. He continues to experience discomfort but his prognosis is good‚" Ryder noted. "We do not have a specific date for his release from the hospital at this time but will continue to provide daily updates until then."Like Blaze News?

Business magnate Elon Musk is advocating for in-person voting and for requiring a government-issued identification to vote."We should require government ID and in-person voting (unless valid medical/ military/etc excuse)‚ like other countries do or like if you want to buy beer‚" Musk tweeted."Literally the same people who said voter ID was racist also demanded that you get a vaccine ID to travel anywhere or work!" Musk wrote in another post."It's racist to claim that an adult is incapable of obtaining ID!" he has tweeeted. "Claiming that people can't figure out how to get ID is racist and should be condemned in the strongest possible terms‚" he wrote. Musk appeared to agree with someone who described "Radical Democrats" as racists. "Radical Democrats are some of the most racist people in the United States. They have a hero complex that requires making minorities into helpless victims. It's gross and it needs to stop‚" Kyle Becker wrote. Musk responded with the 100 emoji. — (@) As America continues to face massive numbers of migrants flocking to the nation's southern border‚ Musk has suggested‚ "The Biden administration is actively aiding and abetting illegal immigration‚ because they are viewed as future voters."Musk has called for putting a stop to unlawful immigration‚ but expanding lawful immigration."While it is trivial to enter the United States illegally‚ it is insanely difficult for legal immigrants to move to the United States. This is madness! We should shut down illegal immigration and greatly increase legal immigration‚" Musk wrote. — (@) Like Blaze News?
