During the interview, Bartiromo played a clip of Republican Congressman Greg Murphy saying that Biden has committed impeachable offenses but members of Congress are reluctant to impeach Biden because the next in line of power is Kamala Harris in whom few have confidence.
When Bartiromo followed up asking McCarthy if he was considering moving forward with impeachment (if they win a majority in the House during the mid-terms).
McCarthy responded as follows:
"Look the one thing we learned that the Democrats did, is they used impeachment for political reason. We believe in the rule of law. We're not going to pick and choose just because somebody has power," McCarthy said, adding that "at any time if someone breaks the law" impeachment may be considered "but we're not going to use it for political purposes."
GOP House Members such as Reps. Madison Cawthorn, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and others also called for Biden’s impeachment.
It has to be remembered that the Democrats impeached President Donald Trump on two occasions without evidence or reason.
The first impeachment in 2019 was over baseless claims that Trump withheld aid to Ukraine for political gain. Here the votes were strictly on party lines. The second impeachment was in 2021 on claims he provoked an ‘insurrection.' On this occasion 10 House Republicans sided with Democrats and voted to impeach President Trump.
