Republicans admitting out loud they have no evidence for impeachment

A thread

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Will those people like Lauren Boebert apologize for apparently getting it wrong?

Remember how all the Republicans kept saying the US economy was in a recession earlier this year? They kept saying that Democrats were not using the correct data to decide if we were in a recession.

Well, it turns out that federal reserve chairman Jerome Powell just confirmed that we didn’t actually go into a recession and instead we had significant growth.

I think your wife needs to see her doctor, not look at the bathroom schedule you posted on the fridge.

James Comer got really excited today and put out the following video claiming that Hunter Biden Made monthly payments to Joe Biden from a business account.

Here's what they didn't tell you:

- Receipts literally show that Hunter made three payments of $1,380, yes $1380 to Joe, totaling $4,140, in 2018, when Joe Biden was a private citizen.

- These payments were recorded and shown to have been for a Truck that Joe bought his son 6 years ago.

You literally can't make this crap up!

No wonder why Hunter doesn't want to testify behind closed doors, but rather do so in public. It's because these people continue to distort facts and create false narratives from tidbits of information rather than the full story.
