In a bold move, Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman challenged his Republican counterparts to proceed with their threats of impeaching President Biden.
"Go ahead, do it. I dare you," Fetterman reportedly declared in his Capitol Hill office, according to HuffPost. He further asserted that the impeachment would be a losing battle, stating, "If you can find the votes, go ahead, because youre going to lose. Its a loser."
This challenge comes in the wake of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's assertion that an impeachment inquiry against Biden would only progress if there is a formal House vote. Fetterman dismissed the impeachment threats as empty posturing, likening it to a pointless exercise. "Sometimes you just gotta call their bulls--t. If theyre going to threaten, then lets see it," he added.
Fetterman, who recently underwent treatment for clinical depression at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, also took the opportunity to criticize former President Donald Trump. "Your man has what, three or four indictments now? Trump has a mug shot, and hes been impeached twice," he said, as reported by NBC. He expressed his frustration with the Republicans, accusing them of posturing.
Meanwhile, sources have informed Fox News Digital that House Republican leaders are planning to initiate an impeachment inquiry against Biden this month. The President and his son, Hunter Biden, are under investigation by three separate House GOP-led committees over allegations of bribery and other corruption related to Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings.
The committees are also examining a plea deal that was nearly reached between Hunter Biden and the Justice Department regarding an ongoing investigation into his taxes.
The House of Representatives is due to reconvene after its six-week August recess on Tuesday. However, the impeachment inquiry is likely to be overshadowed by Congress's efforts to reach a funding agreement for the government by September 30 to avoid a partial government shutdown.
