‘Where’s The Crime?’ Skeptical Fox Anchor Grills GOP Leader Over Threat to Impeach Biden Over Israel

Fox Business anchor Stuart Varney tried to get to the bottom of the case from some Republicans on Friday that President Joe Biden should be impeached for threatening to delay arms to Israel.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) appeared on Fox Business to lay out the case as Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) was reported to be currently “preparing impeachment articles.”

“Congressman, on what grounds would you impeach President Biden?” Varney asked.

What followed was an exchange in which a skeptical Varney pressed the top Republican on the grounds for impeachment:

SCALISE: Well, if you look at where we are, Stuart, I mean, President Biden is failing on so many different fronts. But if you look at Israel…what he’s done to Israel, walking away there if our strongest ally in the Middle East is disgraceful. You’ve got Democrats even admitting that. Our main objective is to get Israel the support they need to show that we stand with our ally, Israel, even if Joe Biden’s walking away because he is now trying to appease the pro-Hamas wing of his party.

VARNEY: But is it a high crime and misdemeanor to walk away from a big ally? Where’s the crime?

SCALISE: What we want to do is to get President Biden to actually deliver that aid. I mean, ultimately, Congress came together. Republicans and Democrats —

VARNEY: But, do you have to impeach him for that?

SCALISE: No. There’s legislation that we are drafting that actually requires him to the deliver the aid, because we want Israel to have the tools that they need to defend themselves. They were under attack —

VARNEY: Well, where does impeachment come into this?

SCALISE: Right now if you look at what we’re drafting, it’s legislation to require that he actually go and deliver the aid to Israel. And, again, Hamas, working with Iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, went and invaded Israel on October 7th. They murdered, barbarically, Israelis. They still hold over 130 hostages, including American citizens. And Joe Biden is not concerned about releasing the hostages, he’s directing his attacks towards Israel, for goodness sake. He’s siding with the wing of his party that’s out there pulling down American flags on campuses and putting up the Palestinian flag, defacing George Washington’s statue on campuses. You know, you look at some of these radicals that are doing this, these anarchists that are doing this, that’s who Joe Biden is trying to appease, and he’s walking away from Israel in the process.

Biden said in an interview with CNN this week that the U.S. would continue to supply defensive weapons, but would not supply “offensive” ones if Israel moves ahead with its planned invasion of Rafah, where more than a million Palestinians are sheltering.
