It's an amazing piece of footage. Unfortunately I don't have a cite at the moment, but it might be making articles tomorrow.
He's on the committee that's been investigating the President and his family for about as long as this Congress has been in session. And he gets recognized by the Chair, and he says "I'm going to make this easy for you since you seem to have a problem doing this. I formally make a motion to impeach President Joe Biden. Can I have a second?"
*crickets*
He goes on to say "See? They won't do it because they know they have no evidence and can't bring charges."
Hilarious! Just an absolutely brilliant move!
