Republicans bash Boebert for forcing Biden impeachment vote: 'Frivolous'

Source: The Hill

House Republicans teed off Wednesday on one of their own colleagues, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), over her stunning move to force a vote this week to impeach President Biden.

While no fans of the president, Boebert’s GOP critics said her move to stage an impeachment vote this week is wildly premature, harming the Republicans’ ongoing efforts to investigate the Biden family’s business dealings while undermining potential impeachment efforts in the future.

At a closed-door meeting of the GOP conference on Capitol Hill, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) took the remarkable step of urging his troops to oppose the impeachment resolution when it hits the floor later in the week, a House Republican told The Hill.

“I don’t think it’s the right thing to do,” McCarthy later told reporters.

to await whether they can enter the USA. But what it's really about is putting Boebert in the headlines for a few days. Just more kabuki theater and big waste of time.

that other people could hear, instead of the voices inside her otherwise empty head.

Sorry, but "he's a Democrat!" just isn't adequate reason.

Don't worry, she will never learn.

It's such a low bar apparently to get elected in the repub party. I listened to her video on this and I still don't know what she talked about...except forcing a vote on impeachment...but for what she didn't bother to mention.

It wouldn't surprised if she forgot about casting her vote like she did on the debt ceiling bill. Loser!

But let's see if McCarthy thinks it's OK to censure Adam Schiff because Luna took the fine out.

"While no fans of the president, Boebert’s GOP critics said her move to stage an impeachment vote this week is wildly premature, harming the Republicans’ ongoing efforts to investigate the Biden family’s business dealings while undermining potential impeachment efforts in the future."

Any chance their future "probe" will find an impeachable offense? No, but they don't care. Booboo was just premature. The rest are just as amoral as she is.

Sir .....

Please Come get this philandering, lying, treasonous, un-American skeezer who prays for Pres. Biden to die and laughs about it.

That filth-bucket she's standing next to and canoodling with is a married father of 4. These self-described Christians like her, Horse Face Green, Jabba the Hut Newt Gingrich don't divorce before they move onto their next sexcapade and hook-up. They hook up while still married, as they continue calling themselves Servants of God or Christians.
