House Speaker Mike Johnson said Saturday he believes Republicans have the votes to launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

“I believe we will,” Johnson told Fox News of a GOP-led impeachment inquiry. “I suspect no Democrats will assist in this effort, but they should.”

Johnson added Republicans “have a duty to do this” and “we cannot stop the process.”

Republican leadership and key GOP committee chairs on Friday made the case for why they believe an inquiry vote is necessary, arguing it would strengthen their legal standing in court and accusing the White House of “stonewalling” their probe into the president and his son’s foreign business dealings – a claim the White House has forcefully rebutted.

Johnson, appearing alongside House GOP conference chair Elise Stefanik, claimed the inquiry wouldn’t be used as a partisan political tool.

    You do realize that mass shootings are categorized on how many are shot and not how many dies. Let’s not also get into the fact that gun violence is still gun violence regardless of the charge. You need to find a new podcast.

      Calm down. I agree with you, I’m just saying mass shootings are only a small part of the gun violence issue, and would add that it’s unlikely that government intervention would do much to impact overall instances of bullet contact, as many of the firearms are already unlawfully obtained in the first place.
