President Joe Biden said during a press conference in Florida on Saturday that he has not had a chance to go to East Palestine, Ohio, because he’s been too busy.

“You said in March that you would go to East Palestine, Ohio,” a reporter said. “You came here, how come you haven’t gone to East Palestine yet?”

“Well, I haven’t had the occasion to go to East Palestine,” Biden responded. “There’s a lot going on, here, and I just haven’t been able to break.”

“I was thinking whether I’d go to East Palestine this week, but I then was reminded I’ve got to go literally around the world,” he said. “I’m going from, from Washington to India to Vietnam to–, and so I it’s going to be a while.”

“But we’re making sure that East Palestine has what they need materially in order to deal with their problems,” he continued.

Political commentator Stephen L. Miller responded, “I would go to Ohio but I have to go check on India and Vietnam first so it’s going to be awhile even though I just said I was thinking of going this week after 8 months and 23 days on the beach and dementia.”

RNC Strategic Communications Director Tommy Pigott said, “Joe Biden has spent 75 days on vacation the last 6 months, including 19 days in August alone.”

“What an absolute garbage answer. East Palestine is a 1 hour flight from DC,” said political commentator Pradheep J. Shanker. “You could drive it in five hours. He has made the conscious choice to avoid the people of East Palestine, and there is a clear reason for this: because at this point they know he is a liar.”

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) explained in an interview late this week that if Republicans move forward with deciding to pursue an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, it will only happen after there is a formal vote on the House floor.

The news comes after reports have suggested that Republicans could pursue a strategy used by Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the former Speaker of the House who launched an impeachment inquiry into former President Donald Trump without having members of Congress vote.

“To open an impeachment inquiry is a serious matter, and House Republicans would not take it lightly or use it for political purposes. The American people deserve to be heard on this matter through their elected representatives,” McCarthy told Breitbart News. “That’s why, if we move forward with an impeachment inquiry, it would occur through a vote on the floor of the People’s House and not through a declaration by one person.”

There would have to be at least 218 members of Congress who vote to launch the impeachment inquiry into Biden in order to get the ball rolling. The move would greatly expand the scope of investigative and legal tools that lawmakers have access to.

Republicans have been uncovering more information on a regular basis about alleged corruption surrounding the president and his son, Hunter Biden.

The two biggest examples of alleged Biden corruption include allegations that then-Vice President Biden received a bribe from a Ukrainian energy executive to use his power as a U.S. official to get Ukraine to fire a prosecutor investigating the executive’s company. The other example that lawmakers are looking into surrounds allegations that U.S. prosecutors and officials obstructed an investigation into Hunter Biden and gave him preferential treatment.
