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.”

Note: As pointed out by reddig33 in comments, this is an old photo. Here’s a couple examples of his new look.

    Have they found anything they could actually impeach Biden over, or do they just hope that something comes out of the nowhere once they start the process? This whole impeachment stuff sound to me just like Trumps lawsuits for “stealing my vote” and the whole “I’ll hold a press conference where I will present irrefutable evidence” stuff.

      Both. They scream “BiDeN cRiMe FaMiLy!” To distract from trumps corrupt ass kids being literally employed in the White House. Like dude said trump has 4 indictments…

      However I am also sure they are desperate to find anything they can twist into scandal regardless of substance. They investigated Clinton for 25 years before settling on a blowjob.

      Remember Trump blackmailing Zelensky to make up dirt on Biden? Nothing. Remember Hunter’s laptop? Nothing. They will keep fishing because they would prefer that over doing jackshit for the average citizen.

      McCarthy has admitted a few different times now that they have literally zero evidence to serve as a basis for an investigation or implement

        Which shows that stupidity is still a political trait and not limited to one side.

          You’re both-sidesing the fact that Republicans solely are thinking about impeachment based on nothing?

      I’m sure they’ll eventually find something. The Clinton impeachment investigation didn’t set out to find anything about his affairs, it was some land deal that turned out to be on the up and up after all.

      The point is, they just want to investigate, bog the White House down with discovery, leak anything embarrassing (I’m sure there’s a ton more Hunter stuff to leak), and I’m sure they’ll eventually find something that sorta kinda looks like a crime (or obstruction), because if you investigate anyone you’ll find something eventually.

      It’s basically about hurting Biden politically, and painting Biden as a criminal, so the uninformed voter can just say ‘they’re both the same’.

        The big problem here is that you have way too many uninformed voters in your country. Which is always a weak base for a working democracy.

        The most hilarious part of the land deal was that the Clintons lost money on it. Like, that’s not how corruption works.

          It does if you’re really bad at it. See: Trump.

      They just want it as a historical anecdote when they talk about presidents being impeached. They’re really, really sore about Trump going through 2 of them

      Shame the system is rigged to allow your friends on half the jury
