'They need FEMA’s help': Dem details why GOP-led impeachment hearing was really 'that bad'

28 September 2023

During Thursday's episode of MSNBC's The Reid Out, United States Representative Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) explained why the House Republicans' first impeachment hearing against President Joe Biden was such a "disaster" for the Republican lawmakers.

Moskowitz emphasized, "This was an unmitigated disaster. It's a shame the Republicans are going to shut down the government, because they need FEMA's help. That's how bad it today was. They were not prepared. In the very first minute, their own witness — and I wasn't surprised, because it was in the testimony that was written — comes out and says, 'Everything you have been working on for the last eight months, everything that you have presented to the American people does not rise to the level of impeachment.' That's their own witness. It was awkward. It was just like, I started to feel kind of bad, like this is clearly what they didn't plan for Fox News today."

Host Joy Reid replied, "I mean, Jonathan Truly is not someone who is not interested in getting Democrats. He's pretty motivated, I think, to try to find some reason to impeach Joe Biden. I think his team would love to do it, if they could say to do it, he would. He didn't. He said, 'No there's nothing here.' Their forensic accountant, his name is Bruce Dubinsky also said, 'Mm mm, there's nothing.' Eileen O'Connor, a former assistant attorney general in the Justice Department's tax division said, 'Nothing.' Was there a single witness, congressman, on their side who presented evidence that Joe Biden somehow was taking bribes, apparently during the timeline when he was neither president nor vice president? Because all this was supposed to have taken place when he was sitting at home in Delaware."

Moskowitz replied, "No. not a single shred of evidence, not a new fact, nothing. this was a recitation of the last eight months. It was a panel to kind of comment on what the Republicans have been working on. All he did was say, you know, 'The Biden family, and Hunter Biden, and Jill Biden, and Commander Biden' — the dog. You know, they never mentioned Joe Biden. They never say, 'Joe Biden did X,' because it's not there. There's no evidence of that. By the way, they filed articles of impeachment — some of them filed articles of impeachment two weeks into the Biden administration, right after January 6th, before a single hearing took place. So, if they're so gung-ho —Joy they refuse to call the vote. I gave them the opportunity to call the vote, 'Right now, call the vote for impeachment in the hearing.' And Comer pretended like i didn't even say it. It's because they don't have the votes, because they don't have any evidence on Joe Biden."
