Sen. John Fetterman offered a message Wednesday to House Republicans considering impeaching President Joe Biden: “Go ahead, do it. I dare you.”

Speaking to reporters in his Senate office, the Pennsylvania Democrat suggested that the impeachment push by Republicans on the other side of the Capitol was meant to deflect from the mountain of legal problems facing former President Donald Trump.

“Your man has what, three or four indictments now?” Fetterman said. “Trump has a mug shot and he’s been impeached twice.”

“Sometimes you just gotta call their bullshit,” he said.

The first-term senator went on to say that a Biden impeachment "would just be like a big circle jerk on the fringe right,” and “would diminish what impeachment really means.”

Note: As pointed out by reddig33 in comments, this is an old photo. Here’s a couple examples of his new look.

    since he was merely pleasuring her and didn’t orgasm himself, it didn’t count

    That’s not what happened at all.

    He claimed that she had sexual relations with him but he didn’t have sexual relations with her because the special investigator defined it based on who touched whose genitals.

      That correction doesn’t make it any better. It’s still perjury and she still had to testify that he lied even under that definition.
