Senator Fetterman (D-PA) doesn't think too much of Republican efforts to force an impeachment of President Biden. In his usual blunt manner, he called such efforts "a big circle jerk on the fringe right" that would backfire on them and lead to election losses. And that realization seems to be slowly dawning on Kevin McCarthy and others, and they might avoid their cliff-diving exercise altogether.
“Sometimes you just gotta call their bullshit," said Senator Fetterman.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) had some blunt words for Republicans who are pushing to impeach President Joe Biden: It’ll bite you in next year’s elections.
“Go ahead. Do it, I dare you,” Fetterman said during an interview with a handful of reporters in his Capitol Hill office on Wednesday. “If you can find the votes, go ahead, because you’re going to lose. It’s a loser.”
“It would just be like a big circle jerk on the fringe right,” the senator added. “Sometimes you just gotta call their bullshit. If they’re going to threaten, then let’s see it.”
Fetterman thinks such efforts would backfire.
On Wednesday, Fetterman dismissed the impact that a hypothetical impeachment would have on Biden’s prospects for reelection next year.
“Nobody would respect it. Everybody would know it’s bullshit ― including them, you know?” he said of Republicans.
“[Donald] Trump has a mug shot, and he’s been impeached twice. It really would diminish what impeachment means if they try it. They must really want to lose,” he added.
The good senator is unrepentant in his choice of words.
