WASHINGTON—Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL) sat down with The Floridian for an exclusive interview regarding the possibility of an elected official bringing forth impeachment articles against President Joe Biden (D), especially after he refused to supply offensive weapons to Israel in Rafah.
The Florida congressman believes the articles of impeachment will come soon from another Florida congressman, saying that the articles are currently being polished up before they are presented in the House of Representatives.
“I think [Representative Cory Mills’] impeachment articles are going to move forward. I think what he’s working on right now is the language in the articles where a lot of members can be comfortable voting for it, but I agree with him,” said Rep Donalds.
He continued by mentioning that politicians want to be more careful in bringing forth major pieces of legislative procedure right before an election.
“I think you’re in an election season. People are triple-checking boxes. Sometimes I think people up here on Capitol Hill are way overthinking things. This is pretty simple. Joe Biden – I think Cory [Mills] calls it a ‘Quid Pro Joe,’ so that’s what he calls it. But it’s true. The reason why he’s doing this is because he’s losing votes in Michigan,” said Rep. Donalds.
Donalds mentioned this as President Biden has tried to toe the line with Israel and Palestine and has not taken a hardline stance against either entity. At the same time, Donalds believes Biden is losing support in Michigan (which includes the highest population of Muslims in Midwestern swing states).
Donalds went on to mention, “He wants to appeal to the radical Hamas wing of his party. And so that’s why he’s doing this thing with Israel. No other reason to do it except that. It’s highly political. That's impeachable.”
In a similar breath, Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) recently accused President Biden of now being a member of the "pro-Hamas wing of his [Democrat] party," adding that "Israel has no choice but to destroy Rafah."
Sen. Scott said, “So when Biden says he’s not going to give weapons, he’s saying that he supports Hamas. He said he doesn’t care how many IDF soldiers are killed because that’s the end result.”
