RINOs & GOP Establishment Opposed to Impeaching Biden, Says Matt Gaetz

Representative Matt Gaetz (FL) said during a War Room interview that RINOs are already planning business as usual after November wins in the mid-term elections.

Gaetz spoke about the potential blowback for Congressional Republicans if refusing to pursue impeachment of Joe Biden and Cabinet officials.

He says if Republicans don’t immediately begin impeachment of Biden and Cabinet officials if they get the majority “our voters will feel betrayed” heading into 2024, “and that’s why it should be investigations first, and policy as a far, far diminished priority.”

Below is a quote from the interview that starts at the 10:15 mark:

Let me take you into the room, to the meetings that Republican lawmakers currently encounter. Recently there was a gathering of top Republican Committee Chairs, ranking members…incoming. And when they did Q & A with the lobbyist and donors that were gathered to support the Republican Party, the questions were things like:

• Are were going to pass the farm bill again?
• Are we going to work with Democrats so we don’t have to go through the pains of a government shutdowns.
• Are we going to get back to regular order, not punishing people by removing them from committees.

This is what permanent Washington is telling your State representatives right now. They want to go back to those days. Even when I talk to my current Republican colleagues, there are many that not only oppose any impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden. They believe that an impeachment inquiry into someone like Mayorkis, who is purposefully turning our border into a turnstile, even that is something they wouldn’t support.

There are current members in the Republican majority, who will be in the next Congress, who are arguing very very fervently that they will oppose the use of Impeachment in any context, for any official in the Biden administration. I believe they totally misunderstand the mandate the American people are giving us. The American people see that these folks (Democrats) are destroying this country on purpose. (We want them removed).

NATIONAL POLL: Do You Still Support President Trump?

The Democrats moved the overton window on impeachment, not Republicans. If we don’t use the same tools. If we don’t engage in impeachment inquiries to get the documents, and testimony, and information we need. Then I believe our voters will feel betrayed. And that could be the biggest win the Democrats could hope for in 2024 when it really matters to integrate our policies.

Gaetz then explains that RINOs have no plans to restrict funding to bring three-letter agencies, such as the FBI or DHS, back in line.

“If we are not willing to shut down the government to keep our promises to the American people, then we are not a fighting force,” Gaetz said.

“So, yes. From the post office to the Department of Homeland Security, efforts to revitalize the Ministry of Truth, I believe we should not fund elements of the government that are weaponized against our people,” he added.
