To hear Matt Gaetz tell it, the impeachment process won't remove Joe Biden from office, but it will sully the president ahead of his re-election bid.
Representative Matt Gaetz has finally said the quiet part out loud: Republicans don’t have enough evidence to impeach and convict Joe Biden. They just want to make him look bad enough that he loses the 2024 election.
But if the goal isn’t to use impeachment for its stated purpose, why would Gaetz be such an enthusiastic proponent of pursuing it anyway? Oh. So as Gaetz sees it, whether the impeachment process works as designed is irrelevant. Rather, what GOP members of Congress should do, according to the Florida Republican, is use the process to sully Biden ahead of his re-election bid. The “trial” would effectively be an attack ad. The political theatrics wouldn’t be incidental; they’d be the sole purpose of the exercise.
To hear the congressman tell it, a Senate trial would be devastating for the White House because it would create a platform for Republicans to make their case against the president. The “existing evidence,” Gaetz claimed, is so brutal that there’s no point in even delaying the process to look for more substantiation.
