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. ***

does he only open his mouth to criticize Trump and republicans?
Wave that white flag and cower under your bed.
Mitch is not good for the country.
Millions in bribes but no one is above the law right Mitch? The guy gets booed and cursed at and it meant nothing to him
From the viewpoint of Biden’s replacement before election, I’d have to agree with McConnell.
KY is full of inbred moonshine.
How Rand Paul got elected is amazing.
The House needs to impeach Biden at least three times. After Biden is out of office, Republican district attorneys around the country need to indict him.
Maybe then democrats will get the message that what goes around comes around.
It’s the best and only way to put the truth into the public record.
But going after Trump is great for the country.
FY Mitch!
Treason and bribery are not good for the country.
“Who cares? Do it anyway.”
You only go into impeachment if you are 100% certain you have enough votes to impeach.
No, you miserable SOB. BIDEN is bad for the country! Shut up and resign. You and ChiCom lackey wife have accumulated enough graft.
Why? I want the hearings with evidence.
I’m tired of old political thinking.
Burn it all down.
Swamp Turtle is not good for the country.
What he is now doing IS NOT GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY. A purge needs to take place, and I’m afraid that if that happens, the costs will be massive, in every way possible.
We know he and his wife,like the Brandons work for the PRCs and not for US!
Yeah. Wasn’t mcConnel the guy a few weeks ago that had to be led away because he froze in the middle of a statement and stared into space. These guys are puppets. All defending each other. They all know what the others are doing and afraid if they don’t cover for each other then chips will be falling. If one goes down then they will tell on the other. Trump was not a politician and not part of their party and afraid Trump would find out. They could not safely go on as business as usual with him on watch.
Stfu
If this is what he says, then he needs to go back to not talking.
