MAGA Republicans aren\u2019t even pretending that their impeachment sham is serious: This morning, RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel admitted their impeachment sham is about politics and getting revenge on Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about Kevin McCarthy\u2019s plans to endorse an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, Ronna McDaniel brazenly admitted that it will help Republicans politically and that their stunts are about vengeance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

McDaniel<\/a>: \u201cI think [Kevin McCarthy] is right on. \u2026 Our voters are sick and tired of Republicans getting attacked all the time through the courts or whatever and it’s time to go after Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Republicans are exacting political revenge after Donald Trump told them to do so.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melanie Zanona, CNN<\/a>: \u201cMeanwhile.. Trump\u2019s patience with Republicans is starting to wear thin: Yesterday, he complained on Truth Social that the House GOP isn\u2019t moving fast enough on a Biden impeachment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Either IMPEACH the BUM, or fade into OBLIVION,\u2019 he wrote.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associated Press<\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s a political escalation, urged on by Trump, after his own two impeachments. \u2026 Now, as the Republican party\u2019s frontrunner for the nomination to take on Biden in 2024, Trump has long seethed over his impeachments at the hands of House Democrats. McCarthy has suggested the Trump impeachments could be expunged, as proposed by Stefanik and Greene. But Trump wants Biden to face similar impeachment charges.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaker-in-name-only Kevin McCarthy is following Trump\u2019s orders and even fundraising off this political stunt.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCarthy<\/a>: \u201cToday, I am directing our House committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sahil Kapur, NBC News<\/a>: \u201cSpeaker McCarthy floats an \u2018impeachment inquiry\u2019 into President Biden in a text message to supporters, mentioning unproven allegations and adding a link to give money to his political operation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other candidates in the 2024 Republican field have lined up behind Trump in supporting an impeachment inquiry into baseless claims.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associated Press<\/a>: \u201cDonald Trump wants to see President Joe Biden impeached, and the former president\u2019s allies in Congress and his 2024 GOP presidential rivals are eager to join that fight as his own legal challenges mount. Trump\u2019s chief opponent, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, this week said the House Republicans \u2018are absolutely within their rights\u2019 to consider an impeachment inquiry against Biden. Former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley, also running for president, said Republicans would be \u2018justified to do it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCarthy\u2019s baseless impeachment crusade against President Biden is such a waste of time and energy that even House Republicans are calling it out. <\/strong>
<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cGOP Colorado Rep. Ken Buck, a member of the hardline Freedom Caucus who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, has previously accused McCarthy of engaging in \u2018impeachment theater.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd one GOP lawmaker, granted anonymity to speak more freely, offered an even blunter assessment: \u2018There\u2019s no evidence that Joe Biden got money, or that Joe Biden, you know, agreed to do something so that Hunter could get money. There\u2019s just no evidence of that. And they can\u2019t impeach without that evidence. And I don\u2019t I don\u2019t think the evidence exists.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a>: \u201cOther GOP lawmakers, however, say they are not ready to take the plunge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018I think before we move on to [an] impeachment inquiry, we should \u2026 there should be a direct link to the president in some evidence,\u2019 Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) told The Hill in an interview. \u2018We should have some clear evidence of a high crime or misdemeanor, not just assuming there may be one. I think we need to have more concrete evidence to go down that path.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
