WASHINGTON 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, Fetterman, D-Pa., suggested that the impeachment push by Republicans on the other side of the Capitol was meant to deflect from the mountain of legal problems former President Donald Trump faces.
"Your man has what, three or four indictments now?" Fetterman said. Trump has a mug shot, and hes been impeached twice.

Fetterman, who is in his first term, said that a Biden impeachment "would just be like a big circle jerk on the fringe right and that it "would diminish what impeachment really means."

GOP Strategist Shreds Incredibly Stupid' Republican Move That May Wipe Them Out
GOP strategist Mike Murphy on Wednesday slammed ongoing Republican attempts to impeach Joe Biden, predicting they could lead to a total collapse of the party at the ballot box next year.
Its an incredibly stupid idea, Murphy, a former adviser to Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah) and the late Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), told MSNBCs Stephanie Ruhle.
Republicans are losing the opportunity to prosecute President Biden on his performance on the economy, he said. But we suffer in my beloved GOP from kind of the banana republic wing.
And its those extremists, particularly in the House, who have direct mail fundraising operations to feed ... can hardly wait to do something like that, because its in their narrow interests, he added.

Speaking to reporters in his Senate office, Fetterman, D-Pa., suggested that the impeachment push by Republicans on the other side of the Capitol was meant to deflect from the mountain of legal problems former President Donald Trump faces.....
Talk of an impeachment inquiry has gained steam in recent weeks, with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., telling Fox Business last month that he was open to pursuing the matter if the administration doesn't turn over documents and information to House committees investigating Biden family business dealings, including those of the presidents son Hunter Biden. Some vulnerable Republicans, however, are skeptical about opening an impeachment inquiry.
Fetterman said impeachment would be a political "loser" for House Republicans, along with the looming threat of a government shutdown if they can't reach a funding deal before the end of the month.
Im just tired of a couple of them over there, talking like theyre hard a--es," Fetterman said. "They just keep pushing it.
