Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich Unleashes Scathing Take On Potential Biden Impeachment

Gingrich, a Georgia Republican who led the impeachment of President Bill Clinton in 1998, believes that while it would be a "good idea to go to the inquiry stage," impeachment itself is a "terrible idea." He expressed concern that the short-term consequence of a successful impeachment would be Vice President Kamala Harris assuming the presidency, which he believes would be disastrous for the country. Gingrich stated, "Biden's corruption is probably preferable to her incompetence."

Gingrich's perspective is influenced by his experience with the Republican-led impeachment of Clinton, which is widely regarded as having backfired politically. The impeachment resulted in Republicans losing seats in the 1998 midterms and Gingrich resigning as speaker. However, Gingrich dismissed concerns about potential political repercussions, emphasizing the importance of holding an inquiry into Biden.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has hinted at the possibility of impeachment, citing unsubstantiated claims made by an informant to the FBI. These claims suggest that a Ukrainian gas company owner may have paid the Bidens $10 million in bribes. McCarthy's statements have drawn criticism, with the Bureau criticizing Republican Senator Chuck Grassley for releasing a document summarizing the claims. The Bureau stated that the release "unnecessarily risks the safety of a confidential source."
