Lauren Boebert shredded over impeachment: 'We're debating garbage to make Trump happy'

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) blasted Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) on Thursday over her effort to impeach President Joe Biden.

During his House floor speech, McGovern noted that Boebert intended to force a vote on her impeachment articles against Biden for allegedly failing to secure the southern border.

"Nothing about this is serious," the lawmaker said before Boebert spoke. "Yesterday, Republicans dishonored this House and dishonored themselves by bringing to the floor a ridiculous censure resolution against Adam Schiff because Donald Trump told them to. And today, they're dishonoring this House and dishonoring themselves by bringing to the floor a ridiculous impeachment referral resolution against Joe Biden because Donald Trump told them to."

McGovern lamented "extreme, outlandish, and nutty issues" that Republicans wanted to debate.

"In short, Mr. Speaker, the Republican Party is a joke," he said. "They're doing this all so they can distract from the fact that Donald Trump stole top-secret information and stored it in his bathroom, showed highly classified Iran attack plans to people, and bragged about stealing classified government documents on live TV."

"It is grotesque," the Massachusetts Democrat added. "We aren't debating matters that help or uplift people. Rather, we're debating garbage to make Trump happy. It's cowardly, and it's sickening. What we have here is a joke, just like the Republican majority, which is clearly going to be a temporary majority."
