Jamie Raskin Slams GOP's 'Stupid' Push for Biden Impeachment: 'They Don't Have A Shred Of Evidence'

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) shared his views on the Republican Party’s push for Joe Biden‘s impeachment during a town hall event organized by the School of Communication and Kennedy Political Union.

He insisted there was no evidence linking President Biden to any criminal wrongdoing after seven months of investigation.

"It's stupid," Raskin said.

"The constitutional standard for impeachment is treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors. And after seven months of investigation in the Oversight Committee, or the Judiciary Committee, by the Weaponization Committee, they don't have a shred of evidence linking President Biden to any criminal wrongdoing."

Raskin expressed his disappointment with the current state of the Republican Party. He highlighted the party’s historical progressive values and expressed concern for the future of democracy.

Earlier reports also suggested that Trump has quietly advised the House GOP on Biden’s impeachment inquiry, including talks with Conference Chair Elise Stefanik.
