Point: Biden Impeachment Inquiry Is a Shameless Attempt at Political Retribution

The impeachment inquiry House Republicans have launched against President Biden is a transparent, shameless and embarrassingly weak attempt at political retribution.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has launched the probe not because it has merit but because the most extreme members of his party demanded it to damage Biden’s re-election prospects. They threatened to shut down the government and boot McCarthy from the speaker’s chair if he refused to play along (and don’t be surprised if they do it anyway).
