Republican Congressman James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, has admitted to a reporter this week that the effort to impeach President Biden is essentially dead, and the House will likely NOT end up voting on anything impeachment related. But Comer is still misleading the public about the results of his investigation, and he insists that the only reason they aren’t going to vote on it is because Democrats are choosing Party over country. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins calls out Comer’s lies.

During an interview this week, James Comer, the Republican Chair of the House Oversight Committee, the man who officially launched the impeachment inquiry into President Biden, he admitted in an interview this week that impeachment is effectively dead. They’re not gonna be bringing it to a vote in the House of Representatives. Instead, Comer says he is going to issue criminal referrals to the Justice Department and let them take it from there. Now, criminal referrals for what? We don’t know, right? That’s the great mystery, but he’s totally gonna issue those criminal referrals to the DOJ because he’s really confident that there were some crimes. He won’t tell us the crimes, but we just gotta take his word for it, that they’re there. But Comer is not simply saying that, oh, well, we couldn’t find enough, so we’ll see if the DOJ can, oh, no, no, no.
Comer totally believes he could impeach President Biden. There’s just one big hurdle in his way, and that hurdle happens to be the Democratic Party because here is how Comer actually put it. It’s clear that Democrats will choose their party over their country and the truth at every turn, that, they should be ashamed of themselves. That’s why I’m preparing criminal referrals as the culmination of my investigation. Right. It’s not because you didn’t find anything, it’s because, well, I mean, if we were gonna do impeachment, you know, the Democrats, they’re gonna choose party over country, which of course is the same accusation that was leveled against Republicans when they didn’t vote to impeach Donald Trump and remove him in the Senate, remember?
So he’s just trying to twist it back and be like, oh no, they’re the ones doing it. You’ve got nothing, A-hole. You’ve shown the public nothing. You haven’t put together a final report. You’re already saying like, we’re just gonna give it to the DOJ. Where’s your report? You’ve been working on it for over a year. You’ve officially been working on it for five months. Show us the report. Show us what you’ve got. But you have nothing and you’re sitting there trying to blame the Democratic Party for the fact that you have nothing. You are an absolutely pathetic, disgusting, weak, worthless human being. And those are the only adjectives that I can say that aren’t gonna get me booted off YouTube here, because this is insanity. James Comer failed, and James Comer is refusing to admit that he failed and is instead blaming his failure on the Democratic Party.
Hell, the Democrats last week actually said, let’s vote on impeachment right now. Let’s do it. Let’s have the vote. The Democrats almost seemed more gung-ho about an impeachment vote than you have. Don’t blame them for your failures, man. You did this to yourself by allowing the wackos in your party, which I’m assuming includes you at this point, take over. You had the choice to not do this after you had a 10 month, 12 month investigation that didn’t come up with anything. That should have been the end of it. But you let the crazies call the shots. You let Donald Trump direct you on what to do, and now you’re blaming the Democrats for that. This is utter insanity from the Republican party, and I hope the voters are paying attention and they make these Republicans pay for this in November.
