Republican Reps. David Joyce, Darin LaHood, and Kelly Armstrong all admitted in the last 24 hours that there is no evidence to impeach Joe Biden.
Here are the quotes:
- Republican Ohio Rep. David Joyce: “I haven’t seen any yet, to date, that shows me that the president did anything wrong.”

- Republican Illinois Rep. Darin LaHood: “Have I seen a smoking gun yet that ties it to the president? I have not.”
- Republican North Dakota Rep. Kelly Armstrong, “It would be very nice if you had what everybody calls the smoking gun. The reality is, in a lot of these large-scale cases, there never is.”
Even House Republicans who will be potentially voting to impeach the President Of The United States are admitting that their impeachment investigation is baseless.
The Repubican quotes highlight the dilemma that the Republican majority is facing. The House MAGAs are already demanding that Biden be impeached. They are not stopping at an impeachment investigation. The MAGAs are going to drag the Republicans who believe that there is no evidence into holding an impeachment vote.
When that happens, things will get interesting fast.
House Republicans are likely to only have two-seat majority for some time, so the fact that three members of their conference aren’t buying the lack of evidence is telling.
If Speaker Johnson brings Biden impeachment to the floor for a vote and fails, it would be one of the greatest House majority embarrassments in the nation’s history.
Since the current House majority is all about making the wrong kind of history by doing things like expelling their own members and firing their own speaker, nothing should be ruled out.,
