Sen. John Fetterman Hilariously Reacts To House's Biden Impeachment Inquiry
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) may have instructed committees to launch an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, but at least one Democratic senator doesn’t seem too concerned.
Well, too concerned about anything but getting laughs.
On Tuesday, Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman reacted to the news by putting his hands to his head like Macaulay Culkin in “Home Alone.”
“Oh my God! Really? Oh my gosh,” Fetterman mock exclaimed. Although he claimed the news was “devastating,” he said so while wiggling his hands like he was spooked. “Don’t do it! Please, don’t do it.”
You can see the hilarious reaction in the video below.

Dealing with authoritarians 101: Ridicule and deny their authority. Belittle them so as not to hand them greater legitimacy. Well done.
Step 2: Make clear that their attempts to seize and hold power, while utterly ridiculous, are acts of autocrats who have no business in power. https://t.co/xQzDohC1z5— Anat Shenker-Osorio 🟧 (@anatosaurus) September 12, 2023

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) had the BEST reaction to news that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Q-Calif.) authorized an impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
I'm hoping the Republicans are overplaying their hand as badly as they did in 1998-99 when they impeached Clinton.— Mike Sarzo 🏳️🌈🟧 (@mikesarzo) September 12, 2023
Fetterman understands that one of the best ways to defang these clowns is by laughing at them while pointing out that they are, in fact, clowns https://t.co/F35iL2rjKW

Last week, Fetterman dared Republicans to impeach Biden and called the prospect “a loser.”
“It would just be like a big circle jerk on the fringe right,” Fetterman said. “Sometimes you just gotta call their bullshit. If they’re going to threaten, then let’s see it.”
