McCarthy Dismisses GOP Calls for Biden’s Impeachment, Warns Against Politicizing Process
Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) has proclaimed that he believes members of Congress are being hesitant to act on so-called 'impeachable offenses' committed by US President Joe Biden. Murphy is one of several lawmakers recently endorsed by Trump following their objections to the certification of the 2020 US presidential election.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is refusing to throw support behind his GOP colleagues’ meek calls for articles of impeachment to be brought against US President Joe Biden.
“Look, one thing we learned that the Democrats did is they – they used impeachment for political reasons,” the House Minority Leader told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, following up a clip from Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC).
Murphy argued that US lawmakers’ hesitance to form a united front on the introduction of impeachment articles stemmed from a lack of confidence in US Vice President Kamala Harris.
“We believe in the rule of law,” McCarthy said. “We’re not going to pick and choose just because somebody has power. We’re going to uphold the law. At any time, if someone breaks the law and the ramification becomes impeachment, we would move towards that. But we’re not going to use it for political purposes.”
In addition to Murphy, Reps. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Randy Weber (R-TX), Bill Posey (R-FL.) and Bob Gibbs (R-OH) have all pushed for the process to be introduced against Biden.
