Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) on Tuesday feigned a shocked reaction when asked about Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) announcement that he would direct House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden.

“Oh my god, really?” Fetterman said, raising his hands to the side of his head, when asked by an NBC journalist about the McCarthy news.

“Oh my gosh, you know, oh, it’s devastating,” Fetterman continued, before laughing audibly.

“Ooo, don’t do it. Please don’t do it! Oh, no! Oh, no,” he added, before walking off.

    Last week, as House Republicans increased the pressure on McCarthy to open the inquiry, Fetterman said, “Go ahead. Do it, I dare you,” adding, “It would just be like a big circle jerk on the fringe right.”

    I’m kinda surprised that he would let himself be quoted saying “circle jerk”, but I think it’s fucking awesome that he called them out this way.
