Sen. John Fetterman offered a message Wednesday to House Republicans considering impeaching President Joe Biden: “Go ahead, do it. I dare you.”
Speaking to reporters in his Senate office, the Pennsylvania Democrat suggested that the impeachment push by Republicans on the other side of the Capitol was meant to deflect from the mountain of legal problems facing former President Donald Trump.
“Your man has what, three or four indictments now?” Fetterman said. “Trump has a mug shot and he’s been impeached twice.”
“Sometimes you just gotta call their bullshit,” he said.
The first-term senator went on to say that a Biden impeachment "would just be like a big circle jerk on the fringe right,” and “would diminish what impeachment really means.”
Note: As pointed out by reddig33 in comments, this is an old photo. Here’s a couple examples of his new look.
This is exactly the GOP’s plan though. They want to delegitimize Trump’s impeachments by impeaching Biden for frivolous reasons. That way it seems like it’s just “both sides” bickering when there are real reasons for Trump’s impeachment
Congrats on falling for it
He’s probably a shill man
Trump isn’t being impeached… He’s a normal person facing normal charges, and I wasn’t talking about anything current involving his dumb ass…
The current “both sides” narrative is that anything moderate is a “both sides” defense of trump. The narrative is join the Democrats or you’re a diesel truck owning, trump supporting, racist nazi wannabe… it’s wholesale virtue signaling tribalist bullshit… Congrats on falling for it.
I’ll be wasting my vote on independents until one or both tribes grow the fuck up.
Trump isn’t being impeached - he’s already been impeached… Twice.
He’s not a normal person - he’s a billionaire former US President.
He’s not facing normal charges - he’s been charged with election subversion, racketeering, a string of conspiracy charges, and multiple charges under the espionage act for stealing classified documents to name a few.
I’m not sure if you’re aware of the crossover in prescriptions between the GOP, their voters, and Nazis as they relate to “sexual deviants”, racial minorities, “the Jews”, and so on. Also Trump is on record insisting to John Kelly that “Hitler did a lot of good things”. On the other hand, how many Nazis do you think vote Democrat?
What cars do voters from each party drive? I wonder… I guess we’ll never know
Congratulations - you with all your enlightened centrism are undoubtedly the stupidest person I’ve encountered today…I appreciate that you’ve chosen to piss away your vote.
Also: Trump could still be impeached and should be. It’s within Congress’s right to impeach him, and the Senate ban him from holding office.
While this is true, the Dems are highly unlikely to expend the political capital it would take to do so - particularly when the senate has clear intent to block consequences.
I’d rather just see him in prison for the dozens of traitorous, anti-democratic charges he’s committed - many openly.
I’m a leftist, so I’m not for either party either, but if you think they’ll do the same amount of damage to the country, you’re wrong. A shit sandwich is always gonna be better than a shit sandwich with glass shards. But unless you’re in a swing state, vote for whoever you like, you can’t harm anyone. I certainly do.
