In a column for the Bulwark, conservative commentator Amanda Carpenter predicted that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) knows that he will have to keep the far-right members of his caucus occupied and happy if the Republican Party takes control of the House as expected in November.
With that in mind, she suggested that McCarthy will bow to pressure from the so-called MAGA caucus and let them go ahead with the impeachment of President Joe Biden and hearings on his son Hunter Biden, with the conservative commentator saying the members need a "shiny object" to keep them out of McCarthy's hair.

According to the conservative commentator, what McCarthy has planned is nothing less than to "Benghazi" the Bidens, by which she means hold endless hearings while harassing the president with an impeachment threat as a way to disrupt the second half of his four-year term.
At the root of it all, Carpenter explained, is hopes that by harassing the Bidens they will increase their chances in the 2024 presidential election whether Biden is on the ticket or not.

Second flaw, its MAGA, not Republican. Republicans were once not fascists and insurrectionists.
