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.

Super F him!
What Biden is doing is not good for the country.
FU Mitch..

But it was fine for the country when the communists did it to Trump. Twice. FUMM.
But okay if it was for Trump.
McConnell’s grotesque lack of self awareness is simply staggering.
Yet again reconfirming why he was the catalyst who finally drove me out of the GOP.
Hah!
Mitch was leading the charge.
And uh, what did Mr. Silence have to say about the other side trying to arrest and imprison their opposition after brazenly stealing his office?
Don’t recall any prior occurence of that in American history.
No senator or congressman should ever be allowed to run for President.
It has become a crime family…racketeering in every direction….using our money.
We may be wise put that in our next constitution.
I don’t recall him getting this worked up when Trump was
impeached twice. Did I miss it?
The GOP leadership is as filthy corrupt with chicom bribery and yook money laundering as dopey joe.
I haven’t heard him speak up about all the lawfare/indictments being thrown at Trump now.
“The Electoral College has spoken, so today I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden.”Of course he doesn’t want his

I contend that Zalensky is sitting on damning evidence to prove that the Biden’s were on the take from Burisma. That is why Joe does not hesitate to send anything Zalensky wants. This is clearly not good for the country.
Mitch please EXPIRE!!!!!!!
But you supported TWO Trump impeachments.....go to hell asshole
