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.

    Stealing money from hardworking taxpayers to pay off the student loans for a bunch of lazy baristas for example.

    Not a crime. He did not steal that money and this has already been dealt with by the Supreme Court. That also took a lot of effort. That wasn’t a simple thing like changing a number in a spreadsheet.

    Losing the war in Afghanistan.

    Not a crime. Furthermore, Trump negotiated the end of that war with the Taliban and Biden had the very difficult process of doing it. He did do a terrible job, but that is not a crime.

    Letting Hunter snort cocaine in the White House.

    That simply didn’t happen, don’t lie.

    Opening up the borders so just anybody can come in.

    Also a lie.

    Defunding the police.

    Also a lie. He doesn’t even have that power.

    Bidenomics.

    Not a crime, takes a herculean amount of effort.

    Nothing you listed was a crime, a lot of it takes tons of work. So you have proven that he is neither sleepy nor a criminal. Good job!

      You want me to believe he hasn’t done anything at all? Yeah right. What about when he raised taxes on the rich?

        Raising taxes on the rich isn’t a crime. Nor is it even a bad idea.

          It is a crime against humanity because it is stealing and also discrimination against a minority group.

              It’s discrimination against the minority of the opulent and it’s thievery, it stifles innovation and hurts the economy

                    We showed that it doesn’t for 50 years. The original phrase of the idea was horse and sparrow, as in the horse eats, takes a shit, and the sparrow eats the shit. Everyone knew at the time that it was nonsense and would never benefit regular people.

                    If I may, why are you insisting on being a troll?
