U.S. Rep. Greg Murphy, R-N.C., told Newsmax on Tuesday that House Republicans understand many supporters are eager for them to start an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden regarding allegations of influence peddling during his time as vice president.
But Murphy, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, told “American Agenda” the GOP is taking the matter seriously, unlike the two impeachment inquiries launched against former President Donald Trump by then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Democrats when they controlled the House.
“Pelosi brought impeachment to the floor just as an emotional thing,” Murphy said. “The woman doesn't know anything except politics. Impeachment is not something that we should do easily just because we don't like a president.
“You have to build an airtight case, and I know many Republicans are upset we haven't done it so far. I don't do things and our caucus does not do things just for show. We want to bring an airtight case to the American people and show them with email records, with telephone records, how the president essentially sold his office as vice president for money and for political gain.”
Murphy said he expects an impeachment inquiry to happen “fairly soon.”
“It is absolutely heartbreaking that you find out the duplicity and the absolute negligence and guilt that is seen in our government in trying to hide up, not only the [president’s] son, but what will actually eventually, in my opinion, lead to the president himself,” said Murphy, who has represented North Carolina’s third congressional district, which sits along the state’s east coast, since 2019.
Many supporters of the president and those in the mainstream media have said Republicans have not revealed any evidence that ties Joe Biden to any wrongdoing, claims Murphy said are “absolute nonsense.”
“If you look at what the media has done, of course, they just want to sweep it under the rug because they didn't cover any of this stuff a few weeks ago about Hunter Biden,” Murphy said. “Those individuals that say there's no evidence there, my God, there was absolutely no evidence with the nonsense that Adam Schiff brought forth against President Trump.
“There's absolute evidence and we see these in emails, text conversations, depositions. We want to bring absolute facts forward for the American people and let them be the judge.”
