President Joe Biden is brushing off the House Republicans' impeachment inquiry. Biden says the way he sees it, they opened the probe against him because they want to shut down the federal government.

President Joe Biden late Wednesday brushed off the House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry, saying the way he sees it, they launched the investigation against him because they want to shut down the federal government.

Biden, speaking at a Democratic fundraiser in Virginia, said that instead of being concerned about the probe, “I’m focused on the things the American people want me focused on.”

The president’s remarks were the first since Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced the launch of a Biden impeachment inquiry while the Republican House leader is also struggling to shore up votes to fund the government and prevent a federal shutdown.

    Ask them, who’s going to ban the trans people if the government is shut down?

    They are. They want to remove any protections of minority groups. Back to the good ol’ lynching days.
