Democratic Senator Calls House Republicans 'Out Of Control' Amid Joe Biden Impeachment Inquiry: 'What A Waste Of Time'

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) has criticized House Republicans, labeling them as “out of control,” following news of an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden initiated by Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), The Hill reported.

Durbin pointedly critiqued McCarthy’s leadership approach. He further drew a contrast between the GOP members in the House and those in the Senate.

Durbin suggested that McCarthy’s decision to launch the impeachment inquiry was a “diversion” tactic, due to his struggles to unite his conference — which narrowly holds the House majority — in order to secure government funding.

“He cannot govern. He cannot get his majority in the House of Representatives to do the basics to keep the government's lights on. And so he's decided for a diversion… What a waste of time and money and really a reckless strategy that endangers our economy and hurts innocent people,” Durbin explained.

The Senator also expressed his discomfort with Hunter Biden‘s business dealings and his apparent use of his father's prominent name and position for professional gain. However, he was quick to add that he had similar concerns about Jared Kushner's behavior under Donald Trump's administration.
