It’s ‘insulting’ to have ‘nonsense Republicans’ on Biden impeachment inquiry panel, Democrat says

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) dubbed some of her Republican colleagues “idiots” and “assholes” alongside criticism of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee’s attempts to launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden.

Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) is leading an investigation into President Biden’s family finances and is pushing for a full impeachment probe of the president.

“The Oversight Committee is where all the drama is. This is where the impeachment inquiry is,” Crockett, who is a member of the committee, told “The Breakfast Club” host Charlamagne tha God on Monday. “And, you know, it’s insulting that we have idiots like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, Jim Jordan. I mean, you just name all of the nonsense Republicans.”

“And they sit on this committee, and they sit there so high and mighty,” she said of the Republican lawmakers. “And they talk noise constantly and they’re like, ‘Oh, the Biden crime family.’ And I’m like, ‘I’m sorry. Have you met the Trumps?!’”

Crockett added that House Republicans are “trying to make something out of nothing” with the allegations against Biden, and pointed to former President Trump’s bevy of legal troubles.

The committee has not produced evidence that directly implicates Biden in any crime, though Republicans claim the president accepted illegal foreign funds via his family.

Trump is facing multiple criminal and civil trials over attempts to overturn the 2020 election and business fraud allegations.

This is not the first time the Texas Democrat has criticize GOP efforts to launch an impeachment probe. In September, Crockett argued the investigation would waste committee time and taxpayer dollars.

“I can’t seem to find the crime, and no one has testified what crime they believe the president of the United States has committed,” she said.

The House is expected to vote on whether to advance a full impeachment inquiry for the president as early as this week.
