AFT’s Weingarten on House Republicans’ Sham Impeachment Inquiry

WASHINGTON—American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten issued the following statement after House Republicans pushed to open an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden:

“Today, House Republicans chose to weaponize the impeachment process and move forward with an ‘inquiry’ into President Biden with no evidence. None whatsoever. It leaves a deep stain on the congressional process and is an egregious abuse of power.

“While President Biden gets up every day and does the people's business—strengthening the economy, advancing our national security interests, and bringing back stability and honor to the workings of government—House Republicans have done little other than pursue spurious, fact-free investigations. Not one major initiative, other than a budget bill averting default—which they are now disavowing—has become law.

“Doing the bidding of Donald Trump, who is facing more than 90 felony counts, is taking House Republicans down a very rancid road. History will not be kind.”
