Earlier this week, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) voted to open an impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden, but when MSNBC host Symone Sanders tried to ask why he had done so, he got defensive and suggested she was a “Democrat operative.”
That was an enormous mistake on Burchett’s part.
Sanders asked the congressman what evidence he had that would prove the president committed high crimes or misdemeanors. Rather than answer, Burchett recited a hackneyed talking point about the president taking repayments for a truck loan from his son, Hunter.
Sanders: “Alright, congressman, let’s do it then.”
“I did use to advise a number of individuals, I’ve also advised some corporations and companies, but here I’m just here to be an advocate for the viewer,” she said. “And I will ask you one last time. What is the evidence that the committee has that Joe Biden, while he was president, committed a high crime, misdemeanor, or treason. Because that is the bar for an impeachment inquiry.”
Burchett responded, “You have to ask yourself, ma’am, why a vice president or a president would get $40,000 through a Chinese communist corporation…”
Once again, Sanders put Burchett in his place.
Republicans don’t have diddly squat when it comes to proving their harebrained conspiracy theories about President Biden. But that won’t keep them from marching in lockstep like good cult members to please their lord and savior, Donald Trump.
