Cruz predicts a GOP House will impeach Biden 'whether it's justified or not'

If the House flips in 2022, Republicans will likely consider "multiple grounds" for impeaching for President Biden, Sen. Ted. Cruz (R-Texas) predicted on the latest episode of his podcast Verdict with Ted Cruz.

Cruz argued that while he regrets that impeachment proceedings have become routine, Democrats bear the blame for turning impeachment into a political weapon, The Washington Times reports.

"I do think there's a chance of [impeachment] … whether it's justified or not," Cruz said in response to a question from co-host Michael Knowles. "The Democrats weaponized impeachment. They used it for partisan purposes to go after Trump because they disagreed with him … Democrats decided [impeachment] is just another tool in the partisan war chest."

The House has passed articles of impeachment three times in the past 30 years, once against President Clinton while under Republican control and twice against President Trump. The Democratic-controlled House first impeached Trump in 2019 for withholding aid to Ukraine in an attempt to solicit damaging information about then-candidate Joe Biden. He was impeached a second time in 2021 for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Cruz voted against convicting Trump both times.

... Cruz is correct, on this one. A Republican House will begin impeachment hearings for Biden - perhaps the first day.

the Clintons, Obama, Biden the next Democratic President. Tit for Tat escalation. To the fascist life is war.

Doesn't matter whether the Pig's impeachment was warranted or not, they impeached him twice, the christofascists will impeach Biden thrice.

You think Democrats weaponized the impeachment process?!

Do you remember how the Republican Congress impeached President Clinton for lying abut consensual sex? Who did that threaten?

Democrats impeached Trump twice because he's a criminal who is threatening our Democracy.

For a supposedly smart guy like you, I can't imagine why you can't see the obvious facts in front of you.

You're an idiot and a partisan hack.
