McConnell warns House GOP on Biden impeachment: ‘Not good for the country’

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has gently nudged his Republican counterparts in the House of Representatives to pump the brakes on chatter of impeaching President Biden.
“I said two years ago, when we had not one but two impeachments, that once we go down this path it incentivizes the other side to do the same thing,” McConnell told the New York Times in an interview published Tuesday.
“Impeachment ought to be rare,” he added. “This is not good for the country.”
A growing number of House Republicans have called for Biden’s impeachment, with most of them citing the border crisis and his involvement in influence-peddling by his son Hunter.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) called Monday night for the president to “give us his bank statements” to prove he did not profit from his offspring’s endeavors.
“I think there’s enough proof out there that this Biden family needs to come forward and show there wasn’t a pay-to-play,” McCarthy told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
The often quiet-spoken and at times enigmatic McConnell has not always been in sync with his House GOP counterparts.
Last year, for instance, he enabled passage of a $1.7 trillion omnibus spending package, much to the chagrin of lower chamber Republicans who wanted to use a potential government shutdown as leverage for fiscal concessions. ***

Decertification of the rigged 2020 election is much better than impeachment.

‘Not good for the country’ McConnell is all about protecting the "image" of his beloved Senate.
The country survived the Teapot Dome scandal.
The country survived ABSCAM.
The country survived the Clinton Foundation scandal.
The country will survive the Biden/Kerry/McConnell corruption scandals, too.

I agree...It's just a worthless paper pushing political fiasco. A total waste of time.
You may not like it but you're stuck with Biden. And then you have to look at the alternative...Hell...she'll have every "whiteY" behand bars.

And what did you say about the TWO EFFIN' TRUMP IMPEACHMENTS, YA HYPOCRITE?
“There is no question — none — that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day. No question about it,” the Senate Republican leader explained in his prepared remarks. “The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president. And their having that belief was a foreseeable consequence of the growing crescendo of false statements, conspiracy theories, and reckless hyperbole which the defeated president kept shouting into the largest megaphone on planet Earth.

FU Mitch. There’s actually a REASON to impeach Biden, unlike Trump.

Kevin McCarthy defending Trump on his 2020 opinion. LINK
This was the first time I have seen any Republican leader
defend Trump.
He did a pretty good job of it also.
