Statement by Congresswoman Wilson on Speaker Kevin McCarthy's Partisan Impeachment Inquiry
Washington,
September 12, 2023
Today, Congresswoman Frederica Wilson (FL-24) issued the following statement regarding House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s approval of an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden: “Once again, we see a disgraceful display of political theater by the extreme House Republicans, led by Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Their decision to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden is a partisan stunt aimed at hurting the President and distracting from the real issues that matter to the American people. “Let's not mince words here: Republicans in Congress have failed to produce a single shred of evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden or his administration. Their so-called bombshell evidence does not exist. MAGA Republicans have gone to great lengths, reviewing thousands of documents and interviewing witnesses, yet they have found nothing to substantiate their allegations. Even Fox News, hardly a bastion of liberalism, has repeatedly stated that there is no evidence to support these claims. “This shameful impeachment crusade is a desperate ploy by MAGA Republicans to distract from the serious legal troubles of their thrice indicted, twice impeached, sued, insurrection inciter, former President Donald Trump. “Amid all this partisan posturing, it's clear that MAGA Republicans have the wrong priorities. Instead of focusing on issues like the economy and the cost of living that genuinely impact Americans, they are obsessed with partisan political stunts. The GOP has failed to present a comprehensive economic plan, pass crucial bills to address the needs of everyday Americans, and is attempting to gut vital investments in childcare, education, healthcare, and job training. They lack a coherent strategy to promote economic growth and prosperity. “Whether it's threatening government shutdowns or defunding the FBI to protect Trump, they expose their true allegiance to the MAGA agenda over the nation's well-being.” ### |
