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.
Don’t feed the trolls John…
He’s not feeding them. He’s call them out.
At a minimum, time they waste on this is time they can’t use to come up with novel ways to fuck over Americans
Trolls are only trolls if they have no power.
These people have power, as evidenced by their holding the house majority leader position hostage in exchange for their petty desires.
Ignoring trolls only works if they can’t set fire to your lawn while you’re looking the other way.
Then again, if you can get them to swarm and spend their energy on stupid shit that has no place to go, maybe they won’t be backing up Trump while he’s mired in legal cases.
The fewer of them available to run interference for him, the better.
Democrats in Congress would be right in providing ample distractions for their regressive colleagues right now.
