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.'

McCarthy is Paul Ryan’s bitch. Ryan will soon be the de facto Speaker.
What happened to “I can neither confirm nor deny that statement”?
Keep ‘em guessing!!!
I dont want republicans to get ‘sidetracked’ with political impeachments that will sour the public’s momentum we currently have against the democrat socialists anti-American crusade.
I DO want them to put law breakers behind bars. If the best they can do is impeach, then they better present solid cases than can come with criminal referrals, not like the BS cases dems present.
McCarthy is a problem in that like so many others, he opens his mouth when he should just keep it shut. I am afraid we will have to deal with him, but I hope the house body decides to elect a new leader.
One of many reasons he’ll be replaced.
The entire GOP is the RINO faction.
“genuine justice is first making a moral judgment and then then giving what is deserved based on that judgment”
Agreed
Now, we can hang the treasonous base-tards who are intentionally destroying the country and looting it on the way down.
(Past) Time to replace McCarthy!
Typical GOPe Bush mentality.
Kev better wake the f__k up.....
That, ‘heal the country’ crap from rinos, ain’t gonna fly this time.
We absolutely need to start playing by their rules. We have let them get away with FAR too much.
Raise your hand if you really ever believed that the GOP led by Kevin McCarthy would do anything. 😣
This guy has “Don’t trust me” written all over him. He’s a weaker version of Boehner.
Impeachments that have zero chance of getting a conviction in the Senate will have the same effect of alienating swing voters prior to 2024. Have hearings, but impeachments will backfire politically.
We punish them by winning the 2024 and booting them all out of power.
It's easier to vote out a radical D than a RINO.
So why does anyone vote Republican?
I HATE THAT EFFIN HOMO POS!! Get them OUT!!!!!! Those bastard elites are the ones KILLING OFF what’s left of this nation!!! UGH!! I DESPISE THOSE POS SPINELESS RINOS! Vote them OUT!!! HE NEEDS TO GO!! NO FIRE IN HS BELLY!! Effin HOMO!
Need to finish your comment.
Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy...COWARD....TRAITOR and worst of all RINO.
