A group of House Republicans who voted to accept President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory asked him to persuade Speaker Nancy Pelosi to back off impeaching Donald Trump for instigating Wednesday’s riot at the U.S. Capitol.
The lawmakers, led by Representative Ken Buck of Colorado, warned in a letter to Biden on Saturday that Trump’s impeachment would inflame his supporters anew, and damage Biden’s efforts to unify the country.
“In the spirit of healing and fidelity to our Constitution, we ask that you formally request that Speaker Nancy Pelosi discontinue her efforts to impeach President Donald J. Trump a second time,” the wrote.
Pelosi has threatened to allow impeachment proceedings to begin, perhaps as soon as Monday, unless Trump resigns following the insurrection at the Capitol. Many members of Congress in both parties have blamed Trump for the violence after he summoned supporters to Washington to protest while Congress counted Electoral College votes, and then urged them to march on the Capitol in a defiant speech on Wednesday morning.
Five people died in the violence that ensued after Trump’s supporters stormed into the building, including a Capitol Police officer.
‘Great Deliberation’
But the Republican House members said that “a presidential impeachment should not occur in the heat of the moment, but rather after great deliberation.”
They added that impeachment “would undermine your priority of unifying Americans, and would be a further distraction to our nation at a time when millions of our fellow citizens are hurting because of the pandemic and the economic fallout.”
Biden said in a news conference on Friday that it was up to Congress to decide whether to impeach Trump, but that the fastest way to remove the president would be his own inauguration on Jan. 20.

True. Maybe he hasnt been informed of the plan yet.
what in the hay?
begging Biden? DO YOUR JOB and Censor Pelosi, idiots. When is even one of them going to call a spade a spade and call Pelosi out for the textbook crazy ex=wife behavior we’ve seen for 4 years now?
I’m so done with most of these people. First, they cower from challenging election fraud even with enough evidence to choke an elephant, then they cry like little girls when protestors are outside the door instead of addressing their constituents man to man, - which would mean acknowledging their constituents as EQUALS, and now, they want Biden to do their job? getaoutahere and go earn your pay! Useless. These people are useless idiots.
RE: the only “riot” in dc are these dancing gopes, they’re a “laugh riot”.
What about the 4 people who died?
If they impeach Trump he should have a dead man switch. If they vote to remove him he releases lots of dirt on all the Democratic politicians. Enough to destroy a whole bunch of them. Child molesting, bribery, espionage and so on.
(Come to think of it, that would not destroy them. It would be a resume enhancer for most of ‘em.)
I will go one step further and say the reason that he goes back-and-forth is that he is only reading/saying what his advisers right for him. He’ll run out to a camera and talk about unity and then a day or two later see the complete opposite. Someone is just pulling the puppet strings and making him read the speeches that they want him to.
The left wing has nothing to fear from GOP, inc.
If she impeaches President Trump again on Monday and does it 3 more times, does he get a free set of steak knives?
huh? one was homicide by a cop. nothing to do with rioting.
we don’t know about the rest other than natural causes.
The left wants to force more divide upon us hoping that it creates anger that turns into more violence. They want the violence so they can use the ensuing crisis to take away our Bill of Rights.
This is good. It’s about time some Republicans learn not to trust Joe Biden.
I’d say your comment is the most truthful thus far.
maybe you’re talking about antifa. that wasn’t a riot. that was a planned operation.
Joe can barely remember his own name - Hell, it is probably written on the elastic on his undies. Even if they told him the plan, he forget it between sips of his Adderall-infused Ensure cocktail.
I wish I could like your comment.👍
Nanzi is extremely mentally and emotionally unstable—that much is obvious. She engages in daily hateful incoherent rants, followed by claims that she prays for Trump, followed by more bizarre hateful rants, followed by claims she is like St Francis and only has love in her heart.
She’s absolutely batsh*t crazy and is a danger to herself and others . She needs to be removed as Speaker.
Eff them all.
This is a Uniparty stunt. The media will do their soothing act once Biden gets in and their rattlesnakes and vampires can go back to sleep.
Are these Republican clowns really that obtuse? Do they really think this senile pedophile will unite the country while pushing a hard socialist agenda? No one this stupid should be representing anyone anywhere.

right?
what effort has Biden put forward to even fake so called unity.

nope
Chase a fox and he will double back to where he was. The fox is returning to familiar territory. Like the fox the traitorous rinos are scared. They’re fearing repercussions from those they think that on short memory
and in their deeds will vote. Doubling back. But the rightful one to fear is lost on them.Hint to them. It’s not distasted voters to fear for they are long gone now.
What it is, it’s Donald John Trump .
The traitorous rinos and swamp congress don’t realize but they are the ones that left the country and have impeached themselves.
Jail them all and it’s coming soon maybe tonight.
