Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy hints GOP won't impeach Biden cabinet officials - because Democrats used it against Trump for purely political purposes
Daily Mail ^ | 10/19/2022 | KATELYN CARALLE

Kevin McCarthy is not as eager as his GOP colleagues to immediately seek impeachment against Joe Biden's Cabinet members if they win back a majority in the November midterms.

Some Republicans are out for blood – seeking revenge by way of Biden and his team after Democrats politicized impeachment and sought it against Donald Trump two times during his four years in office.

The House GOP Leader, however, told Punchbowl News that Americans don't 'like impeachment used for political purposes at all,' and said 'the country wants to heal' and see a 'system that actually works.'

He also said that Republicans need to maintain their integrity by not turning around and engaging in the same politically-motivated actions that they railed against the opposing party for doing the last four years.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Attorney General Merrick Garland are the top two names that have been floated by some House Republicans as potential targets should the lower chamber turn red.

Some Republicans have even floated impeaching President Joe Biden, who turns 80 next month, by calling into question his physical and mental fitness to serve.

McCarthy, asked if anyone within the administration has engaged in conduct that would cause him to consider impeachment, said: 'I don't see it before me right now.'

'You watch what the Democrats did – they all came out and said they would impeach before Trump was ever sworn in,' the California Republican congressman said. 'There wasn't a purpose for it.'

'the country wants to heal'

The country wants something we never get, government accountability.

Garland needs to be impeached on day one. Everyone else after that can get on the schedule.

“The country wants to heal and see a system that actually works.”

Um.....that’s right, Mr. Luntz. That’s why they’re crying out for impeachment, swamp licker.

genuine justice is first making a moral judgment and then then giving what is deserved based on that judgment

What’s the point of impeachment if you cannot convict? Just looks silly to me.

“Kevin McCarthy is not as eager as his GOP colleagues”

That seems like a problem.

That is why the GOP loses.

They will not fight. They will not attack. They are uncomfortable succeeding.

Trump is going to be destroyed, and the GOP wants to play nice.

And the wimp out begins. If the Rino faction wants this then we need to make sure it no longer exists in congress.

We want and need revenge for the destruction of our country by the Jacobin left.

What is wrong with purely political purposes? The Democrats do not fight by Marquis of Queensbury rules! Years of them protecting rioters, lying about collusion and wrongdoing, and jailing people without trial should prove that!

Do to them 100 times what they have done! Destroy them!

McCarthy is exactly the kind of spineless Establishment RINO who needs to be pushed out.

Unlike President Trump, Traitorjoe and his cabinet of kakistocrats have given aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States. These Demonicrats need to be impeached and convicted, then indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced.
