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.”

      there’s fighting while both your feet are firmly planted, and there’s throwing haymakers with your hair on fire, and again, while his aim is true, the punches themselves could be hurting him worse than those he’s aiming at. there’s a lot to be said for holding your powder, and there are far more that I’d like to see take the mantle of attack dog, at least until the good senator from pennsylvania has had enough time to even out and settle, the man’s got six years before re-election, he’s not the only democrat, and this kind of shit doesn’t impress me after seeing him spend the first six months of his current term in an pastoral institution for being unbalanced
