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.'

How do you propose the country heal when all these issues continue with the explicit support from Washington DC, and you are essentially saying no one will be held to account? It sure sounds like there is no intention to address these issues, despite increasing demands from the electorate that those they send to DC represent THEM, not represent pharma companies, foreign interests, and further expansion of federal control?
Yes, of course those in the RNC will not again sell us out to try to get along with their friends, they will not again fail to roll back even the slightest Democrat lawlessness or even mount any but a slight resistance to new lawlessness, they can be trusted to fight back vigorously, valiantly and not be quisling cowards like so many times before. This time surely they will burn bridges to the vermin of the Left and put them on notice that they’re not gonna take it again.
I’m sure that once again we will not be bombarded with fundraising talking about all they would do if their majority were stronger. If they have both houses i’m sure there will be no more Jumpin’Jim Jeffords and that the so-called “moderates” will not eagerly find common cause with the Democrats.
Above all I’m sure I’m being very sarcastic, for I expect the go along to get along Republicans to once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It is better to go down fighting, lunging for the throats of the enemies of the nation, its people and mankind too than to “negative tolerance” their filth.
I desire war on the Left just as they have warred on us, not conviviality.
One of the J6ers, when released finally on bail, killed himself. One has gangrene in one arm. “Political reasons”? They’re actively enabling an invasion. F##$ them all. They deserve prosecution.
“We punish them by winning the 2024 and booting them all out of power.”
Everyone against impeachment here are cowards. Oh, we might offend weak knee voters. Please let’s don’t offend anyone.
Let’s just let the Dems get away with stealing elections, open borders, coup attempts, corrupting the Intel Agencies, false impeachments, political imprisonment, completely corrupt DOJ, going after school moms, handing away money illegally, two-tier justice system, the list goes forever.
Bright idea, let’s play nice. Not! They turned this country into a Banana Republic, but that OK with you.
After all that we’ve been through, he won’t do it?
He likes Mayorkas and Garland, et al.
They’re cool guys in his book.
Yeah, this is one RINO too far for me.
Our leaders are corrupt. Bought and paid for. So McCarthy won’t do anything. But we must start swamping his phone lines now. Hopefully by during this it will let the incoming Representatives be aware of our angry.
While I hate these gutless GOP leaders, in reality, it won’t do any good because there won’t be 60 Senators to convict.
Even if the GOP had 60 senators, you can bet your ass that at least Romney would vote no on each count
McCarthy is following in the great tradition of RINO Speakers Paul Ryan and John Boehner.
The new conservative Congress needs to get behind Jim Jordan as Speaker.
McCarthy worthless pup
Perhaps a warm feeling deep inside that you've done the right thing? Rats got that by impeaching Trump twice! It’s nothing more than ‘virtue signaling’ conservative style!
The public will view it as a waste of time and will resent it! People here applaud it, but this site nowhere near represents the political attitudes of the public.
The possible exceptions might be impeaching & Senate conviction of a cabinet member such as the DHS Secretary Mayorkas or the AG Garland. Garland would be the better choice. I think in general people understand Garland's crimes. Mayorkas would be a harder sell. Even then I doubt if you would get a Senate conviction. The other problem would be nothing would change, Biden would replace them by someone equally egregious or worse!
Perhaps you want to do it to publicly shame Biden (or other Rats!) That's a laugh shame a Rat! You'd think they would be shamed by just being in this administration and publicly supporting this failing nonsense!
Perhaps you think this is fighting back? Fighting back and accomplishing nothing is not fighting back! It's the equivalent of shooting into the ground and occasionally hitting your foot. Then claiming effectiveness against the enemy.
You need to fight back in ways that don't involve a wobbly Senate to give you victory.
In order to heal you have to eradicate the infection, you cuck rino, McCarthy. The repubs will be making a big mistake putting him in charge. He’s compromised and needs to be kicked out.
He needs to be marched out the door
I think impeachment has become a political circus thanks to the Democrats. Up until Trump there were only two presidential impeachments in two hundred years and impeachment was a solemn and difficult process. Under Pelosi, Schumer and Grand Inquisitor Schiff impeachment has become about like the Inquisition where anyone can be hauled before the tribunal for trivial or unknown reasons and has no chance for rebuttal.
The American people are facing a Great Recession, possible food shortages and blackouts. The streets a in just about every major city are not safe and hoards of illegals are flooding the country. The next Congress needs to address these issues and not waste time on impeachment circuses.
I want accountability! You are fired McCarthy!
They all think they can calm things down and make friends with their moral enemies, and it NEVER EVER works.
Examples must be made to end a habit.
Alejandro Mayorkas and Attorney General Merrick Garland
