No 'concrete evidence': These Fox News hosts are deeply skeptical about Biden impeachment inquiry
15 December 2023
On Wednesday, December 13, House Republicans voted to formalize an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden. The vote came down along party lines; Republicans unanimously voted "yea," while all of the Democrats who voted said "nay."
Fox News and Fox Business have been bastions of anti-Biden propaganda, often hyping House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer's (R-Kentucky) Joe Biden/Hunter Biden probe. But Newsweek's Ewan Palmer, in an article published on December 15, points out that some Fox News hosts "have openly expressed skepticism about the House Republican attempts to impeach President Joe Biden, or noted the lack of evidence to back up the corruption allegations."
Fox News' Steve Doocy, Palmer points out, has said that House Republicans "have not connected the dots" to show that President Biden did anything illegal with his son. And Fox News reporter Peter Doocy, his son, said that "so far," the Oversight Committee has "not been able to provide any concrete evidence that Joe Biden personally profited from his son Hunter's overseas business."
POLL: Should Trump be allowed to hold office again?
Fox News' Bret Baier has pointed out a contradiction with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana). When House Democrats voted to impeach Donald Trump the first time, Johnson, in December 2019, said, "The founders of this country warned against a single party impeachment for good reason."
But now, Johnson has no problem with a Biden impeachment inquiry that is being pushed solely by Republicans."
