Sen. John Fetterman on Republicans trying to impeach Biden: 'Go ahead, do it. I dare you.'

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."

He’s sleepy and a criminal, there’s no contradiction there. Look at all the criminals that sleep in broad daylight on our city streets. Also I never said he was “strong”. A stiff breeze would probably knock him over

Ah, so his "crime" takes no effort and is on the level of a misdemeanor. Doesn't sound like much of a crime.

Low effort crimes are even worse than high effort ones. At least take some pride in your work, even if your job is doing crimes.

I see, so what low effort crimes has he committed in specific?

Too many to list. Stealing money from hardworking taxpayers to pay off the student loans for a bunch of lazy baristas for example. Losing the war in Afghanistan. Letting Hunter snort cocaine in the White House. Opening up the borders so just anybody can come in. Defunding the police. Bidenomics.

Stealing money from hardworking taxpayers to pay off the student loans for a bunch of lazy baristas for example.

Not a crime. He did not steal that money and this has already been dealt with by the Supreme Court. That also took a lot of effort. That wasn't a simple thing like changing a number in a spreadsheet.

Losing the war in Afghanistan.

Not a crime. Furthermore, Trump negotiated the end of that war with the Taliban and Biden had the very difficult process of doing it. He did do a terrible job, but that is not a crime.

Letting Hunter snort cocaine in the White House.

That simply didn't happen, don't lie.

Opening up the borders so just anybody can come in.

Also a lie.

Defunding the police.

Also a lie. He doesn't even have that power.

Bidenomics.

Not a crime, takes a herculean amount of effort.

Nothing you listed was a crime, a lot of it takes tons of work. So you have proven that he is neither sleepy nor a criminal. Good job!

You want me to believe he hasn’t done anything at all? Yeah right. What about when he raised taxes on the rich?

Raising taxes on the rich isn’t a crime. Nor is it even a bad idea.

It is a crime against humanity because it is stealing and also discrimination against a minority group.

Taxing the rich is a crime against humanity? I'll bite. Why is that?

Is taxing people a crime? What the hell are you on about?

Don't feed the troll. He isn't here to argue in good faith, he just wants attention. Block and move on
