House Speaker Mike Johnson said Saturday he believes Republicans have the votes to launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

“I believe we will,” Johnson told Fox News of a GOP-led impeachment inquiry. “I suspect no Democrats will assist in this effort, but they should.”

Johnson added Republicans “have a duty to do this” and “we cannot stop the process.”

Republican leadership and key GOP committee chairs on Friday made the case for why they believe an inquiry vote is necessary, arguing it would strengthen their legal standing in court and accusing the White House of “stonewalling” their probe into the president and his son’s foreign business dealings – a claim the White House has forcefully rebutted.

Johnson, appearing alongside House GOP conference chair Elise Stefanik, claimed the inquiry wouldn’t be used as a partisan political tool.

    Yet another Benghazi sequel, to establish false equivalency in the minds of low-information voters.

      I guess they are kind of comparable. I would argue most people could care less about Hunter Biden though. But I’m sure neolibs will blame it on that instead of Biden actually being unpopular though.

        I don’t think the average person cared much about the Libyan embassy either. It was just another talking point for the ignorant.

          The Embassy no, but dead Americans… Yes…

          Far more than Hunter Biden cocaine fueled antics.

            After seeing our response to covid, i refuse to agree that “dead Americans” matter one iota to the average American

            Lmao, you people care so much about your neighbours that you aren’t even able to ask your Congress to pass sensible laws regulating the distribution of firearms among the civilian population.

            As an older meme used to say “bitch, please”
