A couple of wks before the midterm elections, #KevinMcCarthy assured voters that #HouseRepublicans, if given the majority, wouldn’t be so rash as to go on an #impeachment binge.
“I think the country doesn’t like impeachment used for political purposes at all….I think the country wants to heal,” …& avowed that he didn’t think anybody in the #Biden admin merited impeachment….

The voters gave #Republicans a chance, awarded them narrow control of the #House.
And now Republicans are starting their impeachment binge.
Rep #LaurenBoebert (R-CO) rose in the House Tues evening after the last vote….
The gentlewoman sought recognition to unveil a parliamentary maneuver that would force a vote w/in 48 hrs on #HRes503, “Impeaching Joseph R. Biden Jr., president of the United States, for high crimes & misdemeanors.”
#NoImpeachmentProceedings. #NoInvestigation. #NoEvidence. #NoCrimes. Not so much as parking ticket. Just a willy-nilly, snap vote to #impeach the president, bc #Boebert dislikes #Biden’s #immigration policies. In her mind, “President Biden has intentionally facilitated a complete & total invasion at the southern border,” she charged on the #House floor.
At this, Rep #MarjorieTaylorGreene (R-GA) flew into a fit of jealousy bc #Boebert had thought to use the maneuver (called a “privileged resolution”) to force an #impeachment vote before Greene got a vote on her articles of impeachment against Biden. Boebert stole her impeachment articles, #Greene whined to reporters, calling Boebert that name that every kindergartner fears: “Copycat.”
Congresswoman Jewish Space Lasers then confronted #Boebert on the #House fl & called her a “little bitch” who “copied my articles of #impeachment,” acc/to a DailyBeast account that #Greene confirmed.
But Boebert was unmoved —bc she’s on a #MissionFromGod. She filed her #ImpeachmentResolution bc “I am directed & led by Him …by the spirit of God,” she told the #evangelical Victory Channel.
God could not be reached for comment.

#Boebert’s stunt, along w/a general #Republican thirst for #vengeance after an independent prosecutor secured a 37-count #indictment against #Trump, has opened the #impeachment floodgates. #Greene & others can now be expected to play w/their new toy, using the #PrivilegedResolution maneuver to force impeachment votes against whatever #BidenAdmin ofcl looks at them crossways on any given day.
Greene alone has introduced impeachment articles against #Biden, the #AttorneyGeneral, the #FBI director, the secretary of #HomelandSecurity & the #USattorney in Washington. On Thurs, Greene & #GOP conference chair #EliseStefanik (NY) introduced resolutions to “#expunge” #Trump’s 2 impeachments.
