Thomas Massie, a departing Republican Congressman, has introduced a resolution in Congress calling for the removal of the "Secretary of War" who led the war against Iran alongside Israel. The move is being advanced by Massie, an outgoing congressman who was defeated in his bid for re-election after President Trump backed his opponent. This followed harsh statements by Massie against the White House and his alignment with the far-right and anti-Israel factions. Massie intends to leverage the lame-duck period between the midterm elections and the swearing-in of the new Congress in early January. He hopes to rally a significant number of Republican Party members who were also defeated and seek political retribution against the White House.
