‘They did it to me’: Trump says Biden impeachment inquiry might be motivated by revenge
Former President Donald Trump has “no idea” whether Republicans will vote to impeach President Joe Biden.
But he does have a theory on what motivated House Republicans to launch a Biden impeachment inquiry: revenge.
“They did it to me,” Trump told former Fox and NBC host Megyn Kelly during an hourlong interview on SiriusXM radio that aired Thursday. “And had they not done it to me, I think, and nobody officially said this, but I think had they not done it to me … perhaps you wouldn’t have it being done to them.”
Democrats twice led the charge in impeaching Trump, first on charges of abusing his power and obstructing congressional investigations and later for “incitement of insurrection,” following the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Trump was acquitted by the Senate both times.
On Tuesday, Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced the decision to open an impeachment inquiry into Biden over allegations of bribery and corruption. Some Republicans have said there is a lack of smoking-gun evidence linking Biden to money his son Hunter received from Ukraine and China.
Democrats indicted Trump over a nothingburger phone call and because Trump was speaking on January 6. They really had no evidence, just Trump Derangement Syndrome. Are there enough squishy Republicans to stop this in the House? Who will fail to vote to impeach Biden? Obviously, there is no way there will be enough votes to boot Biden in the Senate: will all the Republicans vote to boot him, though? Regardless, Democrats were warned that it was dangerous going down the TDS road and impeaching Trump for nothing.
In the interview with Kelly, Trump warned that attempts from the GOP to indict Biden could be next.
“This is going to happen with indictments, too,” said Trump, who is facing dozens of charges across four indictments, including two at the federal level.
“They’re fake indictments,” Trump said of his own legal challenges. “And I think you’re going to see that as time goes by, you’re going to see Republicans when they’re in power, doing it. And it’s a shame when that happens. I’m not in favor of that, but that’s what’s going to happen because that’s human nature.”
He’s not wrong. Will Republican prosecutors go after Biden when he’s out of office, should he he lose in 2024? Democrats set the stage. They can’t cry foul when the things they do return to bite them in the butt. If you punch someone in the face don’t by Outrage when they pop you one back.
Democrats re-wrote the rules on impeachment. They have ZERO standing to complain.
Hey Teach,
Do YOU think Trump won in 2020???
Oops. My mistake. Connies don’t think, they believe.
Of course the House Repubs should impeach Brandon. It’s their reason for being!
Yes, they will lose the few remaining moderate House Repubs to the Dems but who cares as the nuGOP goosesteps into the future!
What did the mobster Fat Donnie do to deserve impeachment? He tried to coerce a foreign government into investigating his political opponent and then tried to overturn a presidential election. Nothingburgers indeed!
“Democrats say Republicans just using impeachment to try and get around rigged election system…”
At another event on Friday, the former president also repeated the bizarre claim that Americans need to show ID to buy a loaf of bread.
