Sen. John Fetterman offered a message Wednesday to House Republicans considering impeaching President Joe Biden: “Go ahead, do it. I dare you.”
Speaking to reporters in his Senate office, the Pennsylvania Democrat suggested that the impeachment push by Republicans on the other side of the Capitol was meant to deflect from the mountain of legal problems facing former President Donald Trump.
“Your man has what, three or four indictments now?” Fetterman said. “Trump has a mug shot and he’s been impeached twice.”
“Sometimes you just gotta call their bullshit,” he said.
The first-term senator went on to say that a Biden impeachment "would just be like a big circle jerk on the fringe right,” and “would diminish what impeachment really means.”
Note: As pointed out by reddig33 in comments, this is an old photo. Here’s a couple examples of his new look.
Can the US just institute a yearly recurring “impeachment day” holiday where you impeach the current president? It will make things so much easier to schedule around, and we know that from now on every president from both parties will be threatened by impeachment anyway.
You do realize this would cause impeachment to mean nothing right? It’s not a frivolous tool however much some people want it to be.
When one party refuses to hold their own guy accountable then it is indeed a frivolous tool. Trump obviously should have been removed…so what do impeachment do?
Not much in the mind of the average texan.
It already means nothing.
That’s incorrect. The goal of the GOP is to delegitimize it. They’re just upset because their guy was the only president to be impeached twice for legitimate reasons.
