White House spokesperson Ian Sams criticized the GOP on Monday night, accusing them of prioritizing their attacks on the president over addressing vital American issues such as inflation and job creation.
GOP’s Rising Calls for Impeachment
Increasing demands from hardline conservatives in his conference for an inquiry into President Biden and his administration have put Speaker McCarthy under escalating pressure. In addition to Biden, Garland and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have also been targeted for possible impeachment investigations by House Republicans.
Despite these growing calls for action, McCarthy has previously refrained from endorsing an impeachment against Biden, wary of jeopardizing the GOP’s slim House majority, given the unlikelihood of success in the Democratic-led Senate.
However, with mounting evidence, Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina expressed his support for impeachment, insisting that it was time for the Speaker to step in.
Will There Be Accountability?
Highlighting the gravity of the situation, Norman underscored the need for accountability, even at the highest office, questioning the timing of such measures, if not now.
