(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) Donald Trump took dead aim at Republicans who have been hesitant to launch impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden, or outright balked at the prospect despite mounting evidence linking the president to multiple corruption allegations and bribery schemes.
In a fiery speech Saturday at a packed rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, Trump vowed that he would endorse the primary opponents of any House Republican who doesn’t support a Biden impeachment.
“But the biggest complaint that I get is that the Republicans find out this information and then they do nothing about it! They don’t do anything about it!” Trump said of Biden and his ties to first son Hunter’s overseas business dealings and tax crime charges.
“Any Republican that doesn’t act on Democrat fraud should be immediately primaried and get out. They have to play tough and they have to be. And honestly, and if they’re not willing to do it, we’ve got a lot of good, tough Republicans around that,” Trump said.
“People are going to run against them and people are going to win and they’re going to get my endorsement every single time. And they’re going to win because we win almost every race.”
Trump’s primary threats carry weight in the wake of last year’s midterms and his successes in backing challengers to oust RINOs like Liz Cheney who voted for his impeachment.
Deriding leftists for their bogus impeachments, sham indictments, J6 lies and perpetual witch-hunting, Trump called Democrats “dirty, sick players” of swap rot politics and declared that Republicans needed to respond accordingly.
“The radical lunatic Democrats, they impeach me, they indict me, they rig our elections. And the Republicans just don’t fight the way — they’re good people, but they don’t fight the way they’re supposed to fight,” Trump said.
“The others are dirty, sick players,” he said of Democrats, “and the Republicans are very high class. They’ve got to be a little bit lower class, I suspect.”
GOP impeachment efforts gained steam last week, even before Trump’s rally, when House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., signaled that he would back moving forward with impeachment proceedings.
Information, including whistleblower sworn testimony, and evidence uncovered by House investigations “is rising to the level of impeachment inquiry, which provides Congress the strongest power to get the rest of the knowledge and information needed,” McCarthy said.
“I believe we will follow this all the way to the end, and this is going to rise to an impeachment inquiry, the way the Constitution tells us to do this, and we have to get the answers to these questions,” McCarthy said.
