House Republicans know that their rapidly shrinking majority—and their lack of evidence—has put them in an impossible position.

Despite drumbeating for more than a year to impeach Joe Biden, House Republicans have quietly begun looking for an off-ramp in the face of an overwhelming lack of evidence against the president—and a rapidly shrinking majority in the chamber.

Republicans have accused Biden and his son Hunter of corruption and influence peddling, but their lengthy investigation has failed to turn up any proof of the president’s wrongdoing. In fact, the biggest criminal act revealed during the course of the probe was committed by the GOP’s own star witness, Alexander Smirnov. The Department of Justice has accused him of making up the allegations against the Biden family that jump-started the whole impeachment effort.

As the investigation crumbles, Republicans are starting to sour on it entirely. “I don’t think we have the will to impeach Joe Biden,” Texas Representative Troy Nehls told Fox News on Tuesday. “We just don’t.”

    Conservatives knew the “evidence” was fake. The public at large knew the evidence did not exist. Everyone knew this was all made up, yet conservatives thought they could push this through by sheer will. This was never about evidence for them. This was always dishonest.

    A conservative is incapable of honesty. Every word uttered by a conservative is either deception or manipulation. Every word. This has been true throughout history and will not change in our lifetimes.

      They probably just assumed if they started an investigation they’d come across something real that they could nail Biden on. After all, that’s true for any Republican, and they believe Democrats are just as corrupt as they are.

        That’s true. That’s why every accusation from a conservative is a confession.

        To believe that it’s a universal truth that Republican are bad by default is just another way to become mystified by propaganda. I recommend not that thinking because it’s nice to have robust solutions for the real problems we face and we each see something different. Just don’t let your brain fall out…

          Any Republican that voted in favour of impeachment is fucking corrupt, as they already knew there was no evidence to support it.
