Just In: Speaker McCarthy Says He Won’t Open Impeachment Inquiry Against Joe Biden without Floor Vote
The Gateway Pundit ^ | September 1, 2023 | Cristina Laila

It appears McCarthy is backing down after claiming he will look at opening a Biden impeachment inquiry without a floor vote since several Republican lawmakers are not convinced there is enough evidence of Biden corruption.

Because bank statements, informants, witnesses, credible whistleblowers, emails, WhatsApp messages and documents from Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell isn’t enough evidence.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said he will not open an impeachment inquiry without a formal vote on the House floor.

House Republicans currently have a slim majority of 222 to 212 and one vacancy.

McCarthy is now backing down as he continues to kick the can down the road.

Biden used his office for personal gain. How is that not an impeachable offense?

Recall that Trump was impeached twice on mere fabrications.

McCarthy will allow them to “vote their conscious”.

Which means we already know the outcome of the vote.

I certainly understand your argument. And you well could be right. But as I see it, sometimes you’ve got to take a stand and make a point - even if it’s wasteful, and will amount to nothing. Sort of like Patton firing his .45 at a passing German plane.

You just gotta do it, and do it now. History demand it.

Mr.Trump,is this why you supported McCarthy? You might as well try to cut a deal because there is nobody to back you. Come Jan. of 2025 you will face a democratic majority.

Now that the evidence is finally unraveling, McCarthy is probably expecting the hard-hitting, investigative reporters all over Washington will pick up the story. /S

Ken Buck has always been a wimp. That is the best the Colorado republican party has, just like Cory Gardner.

Pay to play politics is the lowest bar for impeachment. It should lead to automatic conviction. Trump was impeached over a nothing phone call and again illegally after he left office because his political demonstration got too rowdy despite his calls for peaceful protesting.

Democrats play hardball and the GOP plays whiffle ball. The majority is slim, but if you cannot persuade swing district D’s that this is the dictionary definition of a defensible vote, that’s on the speaker. As others have pointed out, Pelosi whipped vulnerable D’s to impeach over nonsense twice.

In 1984 I backpacked through Europe visiting family members who went through Nazism or were living under Communisms.

We are watching a replay.

So? Kevin is leading the destruction of the Republican Party. AT least she has a spine.

What good is a Republican majority when they do nothing with it?
