Sen Tom Cotton says the House must abide by the Dems' precedent set during then-President Trump's 2019 impeachment
A Republican senator is renewing the call to impeach President Biden following reports of aid to Israel being delayed during its war with the terrorist organization Hamas.
"The House has no choice but to impeach Biden based on the Trump-Ukraine precedent of withholding foreign aid to help with reelection. Only with Biden, it’s true," Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., wrote on X on Thursday.
A recently passed $95 billion supplemental foreign aid package included roughly $26 billion for both Israel and humanitarian aid for areas including Gaza. The aid was encouraged by the Biden administration, which had proposed it nearly six months prior.
Cotton suggested that Biden should be impeached for delaying an aid shipment to Israel, which he claimed had to do with the president's re-election bid as he balances a divided Democratic Party on the Israel war.
The White House Counsel's office did not immediately provide comment to Fox News Digital.
Earlier this week, Israeli officials claimed the U.S. had paused a shipment of ammunition from the U.S., as Axios reported.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre maintained that the U.S.'s commitment to Israel is "ironclad," despite the report.
The report was ultimately confirmed by a U.S. official, who said the administration paused shipments of two types of precision bombs to Israel. One shipment would provide 2,000-pound bombs, with 1,800 to be delivered. The second held 500-pound bombs, with 1,700 to be delivered.
"The U.S. position has been that Israel should not launch a major ground operation in Rafah, where more than a million people are sheltering with nowhere else to go," a U.S. official said. --->READ MORE HERE
Remember the phone call between then President Donald Trump and new Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy? The one that got a “whistleblower” so upset that he ran right to Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and helped prep Democrats for an impeachment fight?
Well, that call was legal, and Trump was acquitted, as he should have been. Democrats clutched their pearls over how Trump had used U.S. foreign policy for political purposes. It was an outrage that could be addressed only by impeaching him, even though the transcript showed nothing especially troubling.
Now the shoe is on the other foot. President Joe Biden is stalling a shipment of ammunition to Israel in an attempt to placate the extremists within the base of his own party. Will any Democrat even notice?
The Trump phone call was a congratulatory one after Zelenskyy had won his election. In it, Trump mentioned all the allegations of influence peddling against Joe Biden, which serve as a litmus test for partisanship. Republicans see corruption and demand an investigation; Democrats see nothing and demand that there be no questions — in fact, that the media black out the entire topic.
Personally, that second option seems a little defensive, considering how a genuine investigation will, if there is no corruption, merely exonerate Biden and make Republicans look foolish.
Still, Democrats insisted there be no action taken to clear Joe Biden. And when Trump made his phone call, they impeached him over it. --->READ MORE HEREFollow link bellow to a relevant story:
