‘It’s Pretty Wild That They’re Grasping at Straws’: Tolliver on GOP’s Impeachment Efforts Against Biden

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
PHANG: “Juanita, in that letter the White House counsel saying, quote, None of the evidence has demonstrated that the president did anything wrong. The House oversight and judiciary committees have heard from not one, not two but more than 20 witnesses who have all confirmed this. Juanita, are Republicans basically backed into a corner now? It seems pretty obvious. Don’t they lose credibility by continuing to chase these ghosts?”
Tolliver: “They lost credibility when Kevin McCarthy went in unilaterally started an impeachment inquiry unofficially back before he was ousted. There was never any credibility in this for them. When I think about how they’re using their time in Congress to weaponize any and everything they can against Biden, it’s pretty wild that they’re grasping at straws. I feel like that sends a message to the public on two levels. One, not that Biden is above approach but clearly nothing at the level of impeachment. Two, it’s also sending voters a signal about how Republicans have used their time and their control of the House. They rejected any investments in immigration efforts. They didn’t provide any effort to create, you know, things that the public needs, whether that’s paid family leave, leave for child care, a whole host of things. So I think voters are going to look at this and say, oh, this is what we get when Republicans are in control. I hope that’s a message that comes off of this offensive move from the White House where they have said, you have no evidence. The witnesses have backed up the president and his family’s story. I hope the next prong in this for Democrats is to emphasize what a waste of time this is for everyone. This is what the Republicans didn’t do for people while they had control.”
