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.'

Impeachment is now a farce. Why bother?
Biden screwing up every hour of every day does more damage to Democrats than impeachment that can not be followed by Senate conviction
Afterall, Biden can only get worse. He can’t get better
In case you haven't noticed, they didn't destroy us. We're still here, and about to kick their butts in the midterms in large part because they overreached.
Why give them that same gift?
Garland needs to be impeached on day one. Everyone else after that can get on the schedule.

This!
I don’t care what weak ass republicans think is silly. Fight for us ya dweebs!
EVERYONE CALL MCCARTHY’S OFFICE AND LET HIM KNOW WHERE YOU STAND! STOP COMPLAINING AND TAKE ACTION 202-225-2915 I DID!!!!
Whatever you do..don’t do what the people want.
Cuz representative republics are soooooo yesterday !/s
( and Leep hits the homerun ! )
Kevin is that dog that don’t hunt.
Republicans and their supporters are figuratively being shot in the face all around them...and he calls forsaking past it all as he steps over the bodies. Deep state swamper turd.
Was there EVERY ANY DOUBT that our BALL LESS leaders would ever take action against these BASTARDS that have honestly put our side through utter misery AND HELL for the last 7 years, they have put our side in pr8son for God’s sake McCarthy is a FULL ON PUSSY and he needs to go!!!
“The country wants something we never get, government accountability.”
Say whatever you have to say right now, Kevin. Sleeping dogs should not be roused. But after November 8, there’ll be an inauguration. Whatever happens after the inauguration will happen with or without your help. So I hope you’re being real insincere about “the country wants to heal,” because you know damned well that a true healing will be impossible without justice.
Impeachments for political purposes are unacceptable.
Impeachment should be mandatory when cabinet officers defy the Constitution, defy the Law on significant matters, and/or use their positions for violating basic civil rights for partisan purposes while ignoring their real jobs.
Good news. Many of Biden’s cabinet members might resign after the November election, making this a moot point, or allowing sharper focus on the remaining malfeasors. Bad bes. That will give the replacements a grace period to harm the country before they commit impeachable offenses.
Hearings for replacement cabinet members need to be thorough, with an emphasis on policy rather than playing gotcha over trivia. Force candidates to give their top ten list of actions that would justify impeachment and removal of a cabinet officer.
They would be impeached for failing to carry out the duties for which they were appointed....NOT "pure politics".
Why give them that same gift, ARE YOU KIDDING ME, they have put our side in JAIL, had our homes RAIDED by the FBI, destroyed MANY financially ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Get the HELL out of the way for 7 years they have utterly destroyed our constitution, broken every damn law we have, STOLEN our election THEN JAILED us for even speaking a word about it GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK!!
There you go again!
Clouding the issue with common sense and logic.
Sheeeeesh!
Given the current makeup of the country, and the way Senate elections are split into groups each two years, there’s zero chance of having 67 votes to impeach a Democrat.

Yes! And the Democrats depend on this behavior.
No Boomerangs with the lose gracefully GOP
.
Remember, the party nominations for Speaker are held shortly after the election by the lame duck House. The election is held sometime in January after the new Congress is seated. Should the GOP win in Nov, a fight over Speaker within the Republican party in Jan. could result in a RAT as speaker. This possibility is why the nominee of the winning party is almost always elected to the post.
