Watch this Democratic congressman use the Joe Biden impeachment inquiry to demolish Trump

Oonagh Keating. Updated October 2nd, 2023

Last week, as a deadline to prevent government shutdown loomed, US Republicans launched an impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden. Excellent priorities.

Only those on the far right of the party are in any way convinced that the President has done anything to be impeached for, but such is their hold over Speaker McCarthy that he had almost no option but to allow it.

Congressman Gerry Connolly had some questions about what behaviour might give grounds for impeachment. It was a beautifully worded segment and it’s well worth watching all four minutes and 45 seconds of his thorough demolition of Donald Trump.

Congressman Connolly: I’ve heard concerns about branding, so shouldn’t we be concerned about all those all those Biden Towers all over the world, where foreign partnerships were formed and influence was used here in the United States?

I’ve seen these towers in Indonesia, in the Philippines, in Turkey. I’ve even seen one in Chicago. Shouldn’t that be a source of concern for this committee in terms of influence, both foreign and domestic, when President Biden became president?

Professor Gerhardt: If there were such things as Biden buildings …

Congressman Connolly: Well, was there anyone who did have them?

Professor Gerhardt: I think we all know who has.

Congressman Connolly: Well, could you tell us?

Professor Gerhardt: I think we’re talking about Mr. Trump.

Over on TikTok, @JasonM429 shared his recording of the congressman’s comments and it’s been viewed almost a quarter of a million times in less than two days.

These are some of our favourite comments so far.
