'Dishonorable, dishonest and unserious': MSNBC's Lemire blasts GOP's Biden impeachment talk
June 22, 2023
During a Thursday morning appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," a normally unflappable Johnathan Lemire went off on a tirade aimed at House Republicans for wasting time trying to rally support for the impeachment of President Joe Biden.
Coming after Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) suggested she will continue to push for impeachment hearings, Lemire lashed out at her antics while the GOP sits back and allows her to waste everyone's time.
"Oh, my god, thank god we don't have a $31 trillion debt that Donald Trump basically gave us and these same Republicans gave us," host Joe Scarborough prompted before noting reports that Boebert and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) are in open warfare with other over who should be leading the charge for impeachment.
"It's dishonorable, dishonest and unserious," Lemire exclaimed. "That is what this is -- this is unserious. It is not a party that is showing any interest in governing; it is just about gestures and playing to the lowest common denominator, whether it's the Fox News viewer, the podcast listener or the person who will write them a check for their next campaign."

"There's no Biden crime family, but it's not stopping the Republicans from trying to spin this up into something, to do Donald Trump's bidding in terms of censuring Adam Schiff yesterday," he added. "This is rare. It's only happened three times this century. The last representative to be censured: Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) two years ago. He tweeted out an animated image of him murdering a colleague, a Democratic congresswoman, and threatening to kidnap President Biden."
"He was censured, rightly, for that behavior," he added. "Adam Schiff was censured for this behavior; the behavior of simply doing his job, of investigating Donald Trump's behavior. They dropped the $16 million fine that was on the table last week, but he still has now been censured."
