Sen. John Fetterman offered a message Wednesday to House Republicans considering impeaching President Joe Biden: “Go ahead, do it. I dare you.”

Speaking to reporters in his Senate office, the Pennsylvania Democrat suggested that the impeachment push by Republicans on the other side of the Capitol was meant to deflect from the mountain of legal problems facing former President Donald Trump.

“Your man has what, three or four indictments now?” Fetterman said. “Trump has a mug shot and he’s been impeached twice.”

“Sometimes you just gotta call their bullshit,” he said.

The first-term senator went on to say that a Biden impeachment "would just be like a big circle jerk on the fringe right,” and “would diminish what impeachment really means.”

Note: As pointed out by reddig33 in comments, this is an old photo. Here’s a couple examples of his new look.

        this is why the conservative perverts voted for the fake tv businessman who does crimes (Trump) rather than the real businessman (Romney) who does things that should be crimes.

        I am part of the electorate and I do not crave lies. There are dozens of us. Dozens!

        Conservatives: We love Trump because he tells it like it is.

        Fetterman: ::speaks his mind::

        Conservatives: No, not like that.

      Which is a fucking joke given Trump’s… everything.

      Fetterman is more mentally fit to serve than most of the octogenarians that have held office recently.
