House Republicans took another public beating yesterday over their attempt to impeach President Joe Biden while offering zero pieces of evidence of any wrongdoing. Even Jim Jordan knows there is no evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors on Biden's part. It was such a bad day for Republicans that Fox News hosts agreed that "it just feels like they keep doing the same hearing over and over again."

So, Breitbart's Matt Boyle said on Steve Bannon's podcast that he wants a Fox News boycott launched because, of course. Bannon, who Donald Trump pardoned after he ripped off his supporters, claimed that Republicans had the receipts. And he would be correct if they did have receipts. They did not. Not even one little bitty receipt was provided.

"I think the biggest thing that the Republicans could do if they want to get this impeachment inquiry done right is they should do every Republican involved in it, so that means every member of the Judiciary Committee and every member of the Oversight Committee, and the Weaponization Committee, et cetera, all in the House Republican leadership should do a 90-day moratorium on Fox News Channel interviews, right?" Boyle, looking like a whole entire human thumb, said.

"They should no longer go on that channel," he continued. "And the reason why is because all they're doing is they're just doing this for these little 30-second, 60-second clips that they can then go send around to their fundraisers to make it look like they're doing something on social media, rather than actually drilling down and doing something, because as you laid out there, I mean, Congressman Donalds laid it out in that excellent clip there, they've got the evidence, right? Like, we know money made it from the Chinese into Joe Biden's bank account, right? Like, there's a check with Joe Biden's name on it, right? Like, why is that not front-page news everywhere?"

Fact check: They do not have "the evidence." If they did, Republicans would have taken a vote on impeaching the President.

"It's because the media infrastructure among Republicans is there is a perverse incentive to – for these, like the 30-second, 60-second little clips that they get when they go on Sean Hannity's program," he added.

OK, Thumb, do that. But you'll have to boycott Newsmax, too, because even they aren't buying the impeachment circus anymore. And House Republicans need the airtime since their chances of reelection have been getting dimmer every day -- and it's an election year.

Breitbart fun fact: Although the site has taken this down, it used to have a "Black Crime" section.
