WaPo’s McCammond: ‘Extreme’ and ‘Baseless’ Claims that Joe Biden Is Corrupt Are Not Going To Work

McCAMMOND: “And to your point, it’s not even just the moderate Republicans anymore, it’s the far-right folks like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is now conceding that it would be difficult to get many of her colleagues on board to actually move forward with an impeachment proceeding against President Biden. You know, you’re exactly right, Jonathan. Kevin McCarthy, I often am wondering whether he cares about Republicans keeping the House in 2024 because, so far, he seems singularly focused on helping Donald Trump win the primary and get re-elected. And as you just alluded to, there is something like 18 Republicans who hold seats in districts that Joe Biden won by healthy margins across the country. These extreme, really baseless claims that Joe Biden is corrupt is not going to work in districts like that. Impeachment proceedings are a drag on the American people. We’ve seen that in poll after poll. And Republicans, as we see time and again, they’re having a really hard time running against themselves. They can’t run against their own record because they’re not doing much for the American people. They don’t want to run against Donald Trump because of all the problems that he has, and so they’re trying to create this boogieman out of Joe Biden by way of Hunter Biden. What’s remarkable is that with control of the House, they’ve created this committee to explore the weaponization of government, and yet there are zero facts that they should otherwise be so willing to share every single day, but they can’t present the facts because they can’t find them. They can’t find them on Hunter Biden. If they could, they would tell us.”
