‘Oh No, Please! Please Don’t! Impeachment!’ Fetterman Brutally Mocks Speaker Johnson on Biden Impeachment
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is not very worried about a potential impeachment of President Joe Biden. And when he appeared on CNN’s NewsNight with Abby Phillip on Monday, he openly mocked House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) while calling his bluff.
Johnson is inching closer to allowing a vote for an impeachment probe, all while support for Biden wanes just under a year before he faces reelection. But Fetterman was quick to point out that polls this early on are not reliable — citing the polls that had him losing to Dr. Mehmet Oz in the Senate race he ultimately won by five points — and solidly iterated his support for Biden and his accomplishments.
Polls are polls, though, and Republicans are trigger-happy after their own President, Donald Trump, was impeached twice. Surely, they must use their shrinking majority in the House for something! Anchor Abby Phillip asked Fetterman what his response was to Johnson’s move to vote for an impeachment investigation, and respond he did:
Oh, no, please, please don’t! Impeachment! Oh, my God. That bad, bad man. You know, yeah, I, I it’s… it’s so scary. Oh, no. But whatever a weirdo, you know, says about that, it’s like, go ahead!
Phillip followed up by asking if Fetterman still believed that “ultimately nothing will be found?” He answered, “No, I don’t. I don’t.”
Fetterman similarly mocked the previous impeachment threat that was led by former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), calling the move a “big circle jerk on the fringe right” to distract from Trump’s legal troubles.
