Yes. He’s an ass but he is correct.

It's about the symbolism.

Even if McConnell can't get 67 votes in the Senate, he can still encourage Republicans in the House to push for it.

It's insane to let the Democrats cry "impeachment" every time President Trump sneezed, and then have Republicans cower from doing the same in return.

The trap for Republicans is that Democrats know they can be abusive first and get away with it, because Republicans will reject "whataboutism," and insist on taking the high road in contrast, essentially giving the Democrats a free "kick me" every time.

Nothing will change unless Democrats feel the blowback. Democrats get away with free kick-me against Republicans; they get to do the crime to advance their agenda and the Republicans are forced by their "leadership" to stay on the high road.
