唐纳德·特朗普总统正在为战争部长皮特·赫格塞斯辩护，因为即将卸任的众议员托马斯·马西（共和党-肯塔基州）正针对这位五角大楼负责人发起弹劾。
President Donald Trump is defending War Secretary Pete Hegseth as outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., targets the Pentagon chief for impeachment.
总统周一在 Truth Social 上发帖，抨击这位众议员是“彻底的失败者”，同时断言战争部长“应受赞扬，而非弹劾”。“失败的共和党众议员托马斯·马西，一个彻底的失败者，正试图弹劾或许是全国最受欢迎、最成功的军事官员、战争部长皮特·赫格塞斯，”特朗普周一在 Truth Social 上宣称。
The president issued a Truth Social post on Monday slamming the congressman as "a total loser" while asserting that the war secretary "should be praised, not impeached." "Defeated Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, a total loser, is trying to Impeach perhaps the most popular and successful military official in the Country, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth," Trump declared Monday on Truth Social.
“在昏睡的乔·拜登执政下征兵人数跌至历史最低点后，如今征兵人数达到历史最高点，并取得了两场胜利——委内瑞拉和伊朗，皮特·赫格塞斯应受赞扬，而非弹劾。国会，为皮特挺身而出！！！”他补充道。马西周二未立即回应福克斯新闻数字版的置评请求。赫格塞斯分享了总统帖子的截图并向他致谢。
"With recruitment at an ALL-TIME HIGH, from an all-time low under Sleepy Joe Biden, and TWO VICTORIES, Venezuela and Iran, Pete Hegseth should be praised, not Impeached. Congress, stand up for Pete!!!" he added. Massie did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's comment request on Tuesday. Hegseth shared a screenshot of the president's post and thanked him.
“谢谢您，总统先生。像您一样，我们绝不退缩，”赫格塞斯写道。
"Thank you Mr. President. Like you, we will never back down," Hegseth wrote.
自 2012 年底以来一直在众议院任职的马西，今年早些时候在肯塔基州第 4 国会选区的共和党初选中败给了特朗普支持的挑战者、前海豹突击队队员埃德·加尔雷因，后者随后在大选中赢得了该席位。
Massie, who has served in the House of Representatives since late 2012, lost the GOP primary earlier this year in Kentucky's 4th Congressional District to Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL who went on to win the seat during the general election.
“我弹劾赫格塞斯部长的努力，与明年民主党控制众议院和参议院后将面临的情况相比，要温和得多，”据一份新闻稿，马西表示。“他们将举行听证会和审判。特朗普总统应当趁现在还能让继任者在参议院获得通过确认时，替换掉赫格塞斯部长。”赫格塞斯周一表示，将于周二上午在五角大楼举行新闻发布会。
"My effort to impeach Secretary Hegseth is a much gentler version of what's coming when the Democrats assume control of the House and Senate next year," Massie said, according to a press release. "They will hold hearings and trials. President Trump should replace Secretary Hegseth now while he can still get a replacement confirmed in the Senate." Hegseth said Monday there will be a press conference at the Pentagon on Tuesday morning.
