Trump Ally Matt Gaetz Breaks With Marjorie Taylor Greene on Impeaching Biden – By Daniel Villarreal (Newsweek) / Nov 8 2021
Republican Florida Representative Matt Gaetz, who’s closely aligned with fellow Trump-ally Republican Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, has distanced himself from her plans to impeach Democratic President Joe Biden if Republicans regain control of Congress in the upcoming 2022 midterm elections.
Gaetz spoke about impeaching Biden during an interview with Republican Iowa Representative Jim Jordan on Gaetz’s Firebrand podcast, during which he cautioned against congressional Republicans developing “impeachment fever” if they regain control of Congress in 2022.
He said that impeachment proceedings should only occur in the event of a president’s “purposeful wrongdoing,” Politico reported.
“[Otherwise], any time you have a president and a Congress that are in different parties, part of the ceremonial exchange of power will be an impeachment,” Gaetz said.
Asked if he also worried about that scenario, Jordan replied, “I do, and I have not called for that. There may be a time for that. You don’t want it just to flip back and forth.”
