Republicans in the House of Representatives are resolute in their commitment to preserve their record of accomplishing absolutely nothing during their year long tenure as the majority party. They are determined to obstruct any progress on behalf of the American people. They have even failed to pass the most basic and essential legislation, such as funding the government, and support for Ukraine and Israel.<\/p>\n

Instead, the GOP has produced a cavalcade of chaos while being singularly devoted to rank partisanship aimed solely at assaulting their political foes. That obsession has manifested itself innumerable hearings focused on impeaching President Biden on the basis of wholly fabricated falsehoods about him and his family. And the Republican “leadership”<\/em> has been surprisingly candid about their nefarious intent…<\/p>\n

SEE THIS: GOP Speaker Admits the Purpose of the Biden Impeachment Inquiry is to Hurt Biden Politically<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just last month GOP House speaker, Mike Johnson, was reluctant to initiate a formal impeachment inquiry because “Biden\u2019s polling numbers have been so weak, there is less of a political imperative to impeach him.”<\/em> But his position has shifted in the few weeks that followed. Presumably because the Ultra-MAGA wing of his party has threatened to give him the boot, as they did to former speaker Kevin McCarthy, if he doesn’t fall in line. Consequently, Johnson rushed over to a diner in Shreveport, Louisiana, where Raymond Arroyo of Fox News was waiting to hear his confession:<\/p>\n

Arroyo:<\/strong> This inquiry is underway. They’re voting this week to have an inquiry. Some of the folks in this diner say there shouldn’t be an inquiry of Joe Biden. There should be an impeachment proceeding. You would say what?
\nJohnson:<\/strong> Well, I would say we’re the rule of law team and we have to be very deliberate and careful about that. I’ve said several times, and it’s true, that next to the declaration of war, I think that impeachment is the heaviest power that Congress has. The House specifically under the Constitution. So we have to be very methodical and careful and follow the facts where they lead. The impeachment inquiry is the next necessary step because the White House is now stonewalling our investigation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The power of impeachment, next to a declaration of war, is perhaps the greatest power that Congress holds.<\/p>\n

We take this very seriously and we are following the facts where they lead. pic.twitter.com\/1zPfqlLcSQ<\/a><\/p>\n
