McConnell warns House GOP on Biden impeachment: ‘Not good for the country’
The New York Post ^ | 08/08/2023 | Ryan King

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. ***

Republicans should go scotched earth. Absolutely no mercy should be shown for the Democrats.

Mitch giving his comrade some cover, because he knows and everyone knows McCarthy is never going to do anything meaningful against his comrades.

Impeachment is not his decision, that is the House and they had better get started with it. Enough talk already. An impeachment inquiry, opened with set deadline, subpoena power, and willingness to go there.

Yeah, political harm to a Dem is so harsh and ungentlemanly.

Now back to work hurting Trump.

Heard the Mitch fan club has to downsize from meeting in the abandoned Fotomat drive-thru booth at the bowling alley parking lot. Much too big in there.

Mitch McConnell is unfit for leadership. His health is failing, his brain freezes and he is a lousy Republican. So his advice id crap.

Too late, turtle. The left will do this to us from now on. They don’t GAF about decorum or the seriousness of the Senate. They play to win. It’s about time the GOP did the same.

Actual statement:
“This is

YOU aren't good for the country Mr. McConnell. YOU. As opposed to those many patriots who risked their lives for this nation, and put duty, honor, and love of country before themselves, you are just a self-serving parasite living off the efforts and tax money of those who work for a living.

That would be a huge embarrassment if we couldn’t even get the votes in the house.

Now, Senator, having Joe Biden as President is not good for the country. Circumstances arising necessitating his impeachment are not good for the country, either. That doesn’t mean it should not be done. However, it is easy to lose control of the messaging - the articles, if any, must be very narrow, yet very precise - to keep the message of why he has been impeached very simple to convey and leave little room for the media to take it out of context...because they obviously cannot be counted on to report it accurately. Last thing we need is for Biden to be able to be portrayed as a victim. “Republicans continue attacks on the President’s family, causing President mental anguish.”, etc.
