Establishment House Republicans Oppose Impeaching Joe Biden
Breitbart ^ | 11/18/22 | Windell Husebo

Posted on 11/20/2022 7:36:20 AM PST by Enlightened1

Establishment House Republicans signaled Thursday they oppose impeaching President Joe Biden after reclaiming the majority.

While conservative members of the House filed nine articles of impeachment against Biden since 2021, many establishment Republicans, now with more power in the majority, believe impeaching Biden is not a good idea.

“We shouldn’t even be talking about that, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) told Politico. Fitzpatrick recently won his election by about ten points over his Democrat challenger.

“There’s so many problems we’ve got to deal with on the policy front … I don’t like the fact that that’s even being discussed,” Fitzpatrick whined.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), who won his reelection by about three points, said impeaching Joe Biden, like Democrats impeached former President Donald Trump for a “perfect phone call,” is not appealing to independents.

“I want to warn our colleagues: There may be some activists in our party that want impeachment. But I can tell you that the swing voters and the independent voters don’t. …We change leadership by elections, impeachment is the outlier,” Bacon said.

Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) echoed the establishment House members’ opposition. Cole won his district by about 30 points. “The failure to win the Senate hurts a lot, and I think, to be honest, the margin does make a difference. A lot of the people that put us in the majority are from relatively moderate seats. I would hate to put them in that position unless there was an overwhelming reason to” impeach, Cole said.

In the past two years, nine articles of impeachment of been filed against Biden. Reasons for impeachment range from selling oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to foreign nations, the open southern border, pandemic overreach, and the deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Wel, that didn’t take long. The RINOs have already dropped their pants and bent over again for the Brandon administration.

Even if the House could impeach him, the Senate would never remove him. It would be wasted effort. While I think no one who has been president in my lifetime deserves to be impeached and removed any more than that vile meat sack Biden, I think trying to do constructive things for the people should be the priority.

“Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (Assistant Democrat, Penn.)” apparently can’t walk and chew gum simultaneously.

What useful legislation is The House going to get signed by BiXiden?

They have more than one member and time to go down all sorts of rabbit holes.

As they say, history repeats itself. All pubbie “investigations” will be squelched from McCarthy down. Ask Nunes how Ryan derailed everything 2016-18.

The Washington Generals are back in the House majority.

The destruction of the Republic continues apace.

We had a good run, but it's over.

And that’s why the GOP is doomed in the long run.

When they hold power, today’s Democrats are ruthless. Prime example: they impeached Trump twice just for the hell of it. And they might yet have him arrested.

Unfortunately, most of today’s Republican leaders act like it’s still 1955, and politics is a refined sport between gentlemen. Well, these gentlemen are going to get crushed by the tyrants. It’s only a matter of time.

The house should impeach... TWICE! At the very minimum.

Tit for tat, as they say. In reality, bidAn will be removed before any Rino house gets the chance to do even one.

There is no sense in it, there arnt enough votes to remove, or probably impeach, and it’ll just make him look more sympathetic.

If the spineless wonders had selected a decent Speaker of the House, say President Trump, then it would have been a grand idea to impeach *both* Biden and Harris, elevating President Trump to the presidency.
