CNN panel flattens GOP strategist for supporting 'dead on arrival' Biden impeachment
During an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," Republican Party strategist Brad Todd got an earful from both liberal and conservatives sitting on the panel with him when he attempted to defend plans by the GOP-controlled House to impeach President Joe Biden.
Talking about the impeachment inquiry which got the go-ahead from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Todd was lectured that it was "dead on arrival" because multiple Republican House members in swing districts don't want it hanging over their heads as they run for re-election.
"The reality is it is dead on arrival," former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin explained. "There is a slim House Republican majority... If you're [Republican Rep.] Mike Lawler in New York, you're talking about losing seats in D+2 districts."
When Todd tried to compare the inquiry to the impeachments of Donald Trump, and said it would not impact the 2024 election, former Biden White House communications official Kate Bedingfield smirked and pounced.

"That in and of itself is a hyperpartisan, hyperpolarized argument," she argued. "Just because we impeached Donald Trump for demonstrable crimes against the Constitution doesn't mean that Republicans will in turn impeach Joe Biden. This not just about scoring points."
