Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell once again courted controversy among fellow Republicans on Wednesday when he downplayed the possibility of impeaching President Joe Biden, claiming that Biden ‘is not going to be removed from office.’

As The Hill reports:

Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) on Wednesday shot down calls from within his own party to try to impeach President Biden, pointing to next year’s midterm election as a potential check on the administration.

“Well, look, the president is not going to be removed from office. There’s a Democratic House, a narrowly Democratic Senate. That’s not going to happen,” McConnell said at an event in Kentucky, asked if Biden’s handling of the drawdown in Afghanistan merits impeachment and if he would support it.

“There isn’t going to be an impeachment,” he added.

McConnell’s comments come as some Republicans in the House and Senate call for Biden’s impeachment or for him to resign or be involuntarily removed from office over the botched Afghanistan exit.

Many Republicans including most of President Trump’s longtime allies, have already called on Biden to resign over his handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

    1. Mitch was sadly right. The commiecrats will never kick him out no matter what he does. Mitch was only telling it like it is But if they did, heels up Harris is waiting in the wings. His token ho is as stupid as he is

      1. That’s why the audit of states are so important. If the audits show that the election was stolen the people should demand that biden be removed from office and everything he has done be reversed and void. Of course the lives he has cost and the misery can never be reversed but the Democrats caused all of this with their fraud. Democrats are the single most dangerous threat to our country.

        1. Look, you may be absolutely right, but the election is over and done with, and no matter how many of us feel it was stolen by the Socialist Democrats and the media. nothing will change. What must happen now is ensure election integrity and fight against mail-in voting, because if mail-in voting is allowed, the Socialist Democrats will win by a landslide and they know there is nothing Republicans can or will do about it. P.S. this will also be the end of a free America.

          1. Totally agree. Time to plan and get these people to hell out of office. Do it the right
            way. Focus Republicans Focus! Leave Biden
            to his own devices. As Obama said, give it to Biden, he will only screw it up anyway. (changed a word in there).

          2. The End of Free America occurred when the PATRIOT Act and it’s subsequent renewals and iterations were approved by Congress. What you describe is the end of the ability for American citizens to demand the repeal of those measures, in addition to our having no voice in the process of further oppressive legislation.

        2. Amen you are exactly right the election was stolen from trump, and in June of 2020 Hilary Clinton said these words Donald trump will win then though mail in voting democratic will come back and win , now I ask you what happened? If that not a plan to steal the election I don’t know what is , they tell the republicans what they going to do and they do nothing but wait till it happens, and in 2024 what do you think going to happen all democratic are going to do is come up with the same thing like the Covid to get people to mail in votes then they steal the election again and republicans will do nothing but watch it happen!!!!

        3. DaisyDukes your absolutely correct. Democrats, the party of slavery, segregation, and now back to slavery thru big centralized government. You know who else believes in big centralized government? Fascists and communist. We Republicans wiped out the Democrats slavery in 1863 and now we must prevent it from happening again.

      2. This is why Harris has to be removed first. Unless you catch her between BJs, she won’t even notice, anyway. Of course, this is predicated upon gaining a Republican majority in the House, thus removing Piglosi from the Speaker position.

        1. Nancy p will naver be voted out because dead people keep keep voting her in it called voter fraud, the democratic will continue to steal the election no matter were it is cause republicans will do nothing to stop them!!!

    2. RINO IS CATHOLIC.. YOU ARE CORRECT. Biden is CATHOLIC. McConnell is CATHOLIC. Pelosi is CATHOLIC. The SCOTUS is CATHOLIC. Yep, no chance of justise. ALL the top positions are occupied by CATHOLICS not Americans. Vote for ANY CATHOLIC and you can look south of the USA to see that they bring crime, corruption, ignorance, over spending, and more ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC INVADERS.

    3. No, Mitch is using common sense and waiting for Republicans to gain control of the House and Senate next year. To act now with Socialist in charge and having full media support, would greatly diminish the chances of Republicans taking charge next year. Besides that everyone should know Biden isn’t running anything except his mouth, and it says exactly what his handlers tell it to say.

  1. McConnell is not good for the Republican Party. He’s too soft on the radical democrats policies. Even though he may be correct about dem majority blocking impeachment, they should still go forward to bring a focus on Biden’s dangerous policies.

    1. McConnell is not ‘soft’ he is just one more CATHOLIC traitor. Biden is CATHOLIC. McConnell is CATHOLIC. Pelosi is CATHOLIC. The SCOTUS is CATHOLIC. Yep, no chance of justise. ALL the top positions are occupied by CATHOLICS not Americans. Vote for ANY CATHOLIC and you can look south of the USA to see that they bring crime, corruption, ignorance, over spending, and more ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC INVADERS.

    2. You are correct. There should be a show of strength from Republicans to impeach Biden whether it will go through or not. Democrats didn’t care that the Republican held Senate would never impeach Trump, they did it anyway. And even though he was not impeached they said that he was because the house voted for it. No matter what – Republicans should go forth and demand impeachment.

      1. I do believe Republicans are a bit more intelligent than Socialist Democrats. That’s why it’s not a good idea to impeach at this time. Let’s not fall into their trap of impeachment

  2. Hopefully, if the Republicans gain control of the Senate in 2022, they DO NOT put McConnell back in as the Senate Leader. We need somebody better than him in charge, someone who isn’t a RINO…..

  3. The real Mitch shows up. So much for his effort in regard to a President that has deceived “we the people” and is trying to turn our country into a banana republic. I would rather try and fail than not try at all. Show the electorate you have some principle as a Republican that you claim to be. Maybe a few Dems will also show some courage if you at least give some effort.

  4. Mitch is just stating fact. If the congressional democrats want Biden removed, he will be removed and not until then. The only saving grace to to winn overwhelming majorities in both houses. Then impeachment or removal can happen. But as many comment Mitch (turtle) Romney, and 5 others right now have got be be voted out, and until that time buckle up, it’s going to be a ruff ride

    1. The house voted for impeachment of Trump even though they knew the Republicans held the Senate would never vote for it and it would never go through. There is no excuse for Republicans not standing up and demanding impeachment.

  5. Make turtle soup out of Mitch…….He’s a RINO and always has been. He is largely the reason the Repubs lost the house, senate, and WH.

  6. Biden is CATHOLIC. McConnell is CATHOLIC. Pelosi is CATHOLIC. The SCOTUS is CATHOLIC. Yep, no chance of justise. ALL the top positions are occupied by CATHOLICS not Americans. Vote for ANY CATHOLIC and you can look south of the USA to see that they bring crime, corruption, ignorance, over spending, and more ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC INVADERS.

    1. Your constsnt repititions are getting tiresome. Please leave well enough alone! We aren’t stupid we got the point.

  7. This is only one of the many reason Democrats are never held accountable. Just because the task seems overwhelming or unlikely to be achieved, the Republicans don’t even try. There is enough public outcry that citizens from each State may just be able to apply enough pressure on their Representatives to make it happen.

  8. McConnell you and the liberals are cut from the same mold , I refuse to vote for any incumbent from either party , i am a life long conservative, but But you will not get my vote since you are a lazy do nothing piece of trash ‘ it is a new day, be gone with you! The entire congress is worthless , off with your heads.

  9. Mitch McConnell needs to go. He swings both ways in politics so he can not be counted on to vote correctly on any issue. He is not trustworthy. He needs to get out of office.

  10. LIETEN UP….MITCH McCONELL Can JU MP into a LAKE with CROCODILES. HE Does NOT Know HIS HEAD from HIS A _ _.. DOES it Look Like GOD is with HIM???? I THINK NOT. That HONOR Goes to PREZ TRUMP. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄

  11. The democrats are a bunch of low life. They impeached Trump for something that they fabricated and again because the Capitol was broke into, something he did not have anything to do with. Now for eight months Biden has been screwing up our country, the last included hundreds of dead people including 13 soldiers not to mention the mess he made at getting out people just so he could say this was done on 9/11 anniversary. Do you think that they would impeach him for all the horrible mistakes he purposely made just to say “look what I did”. The guy is an imbecile that has no business of walking across a street by himself and he is trying to run our country. He is doing real well…….down the drain.

  12. Mitch says
    ,”The Southern Border will remain open, we will continue teaching CRT in our schools and, the Afghan exit was beautiful. Take the jab you stupid sheep!

  13. While Pedo Joe needs to go along with the Ho impeaching Pedo Joe will just make things worse. That is if the Democraps would even let a bill to even get to the floor. This would put the Ho in office and that is what Pedo Joe ‘s handler want.

  14. I cannot imagine that President Biden resigning or being impeached and removed from office on conviction can lead to anything at all except an even worse disaster in the form of President Harris! I almost gag even typing those words! Besides, impeachment is not a viable option in dealing with a President when the party in control is the party of the President! If there were a Vice President with any semblance of ability in the wings, I might feel differently, but I cannot imagine that any of you that would want Joe out of office prefers Harris in that office, please folks, take a deep breath and instead of impeachment, figure out how to be the loyal opposition and prevent all of his nonsense from happening!

  15. First we will replace YOU mitch in 2022, then we will deal with the other VERMIN in our government, bye mitch!

  16. Biden is the perfect choice for the twilight of America. It’s unimaginable that anyone could vote for this crook/ traitor/ idiot.

  17. I have said it before and I will say it again. Term limits! Strict term limits. Demand congress impose Strict term limits. No politician needs a place at the federal trough for 20 30 or 40 years.

  18. Of course they won’t impeach Biden. With Kamala waiting in the wings they’re picking their poison. Biden should fear Kamala above everyone else. We remember LBJ.

  19. Mitch McConnel has always been nothing but a rino. He’s been an “establishment parasite” and a two-face backstabbing old punk who, like most ALL them treasonous “democrats”, he’s also done – knowingly, intentionally and willingly – betrayed his sworn oath of office, betrayed the trust of ALL law abiding US Americans who love and honor our US Constitution and, who truly appreciate ALL of our inherited values and traditions. This, by refusing to act as his oath of duty commands of him. And, it’s obvious why this (McConnel) other old mumbling coward, the real “swamp creature” that he is … much rather allow, tolerate and support the most dishonorable and treasonous of conduct of (joe biden) another of his long-time fellow “associates” .. since it’s no secret of how their (immorality and deceit) typical behavior, it’s hardly – if ever caught – been a cause of condemnation by anyone of them (mostly leftists) many shameless lying, thieving, criminal parasites and, them most corrupt of crooks and cowards who are now presently found inside of the US Congress . TRAITORS and COWARDS most ALL them who’ve only been paying lip service to their sworn oath of duty. Worst, as most all these (enemies from within) continue on moving forward with their all-out anti-USA agenda. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE !!!!

  20. These people are all cut from the same cloth. There are no political parties, that is a ruse to divide Americans, while these parasites empty our public coffers, cater to billionaire Globalists, send our troops into foreign conflicts, and live in the lap of luxury while our populations struggle to stay in our homes, or live on the streets. It is time to clean house of these people, and make Washington respond to the will of the people.

  21. Jo”k”e Bi-dumb is a Jo”k”e along to with the ho and “poop”losi! If a radical change is not made ASAP, our country will be decimated into a 3rd world country or less! We can’t wait until 2022, let alone 2024! It’s now or never! Take no prisoners and hang them from helicopters like what’s happening now in Afghanistan!

  22. Mitch can count!!!! By the CONSTITUTION impeachment MUST begin in the House of Representatives. Democrats have the majority there, NOW [it may change after 2022] so it’s unlikely that enough Democrats will vote to impeach [no matter how deserved] Biden to start the impeachment!! Even IF he does recieve some Articles of Impeachment from the House the divide in the Senate is 50-50 and even IF enough Democrats leave the ‘reservation’ [they have proven they will likely ‘stick together] Harris will likely vote to acquit him of the articles of impeachment. The odds are TOO LONG that he would be impeached and a ‘President’ Harris would be worse than a ‘President’ Biden anyway!

  23. Whether an impeachment is deemed possible or not, Mitch should put every effort into making it possible and at the very least support the proposition.

  24. He needs to get out himself. He is always going against his own party, he is nothing but a turn coat. If he likes them people so much get your ass over there in their party and quit being a traitor of your own party. You are like a flooping fish out of water.
