Congressman Maxwell Frost Statement on Republican Impeachment Inquiry Into President Biden

WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost (FL-10) released a statement following Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s announcement that the House of Representatives is launching a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, a move that just 11 days ago, McCarthy admitted did not have enough Republican support for a vote on the House floor.

In a statement, Rep. Frost says:

“With less than 20 days until a catastrophic government shutdown, Speaker McCarthy – who has spent the last nine months unable to convince his own party to pass even the simplest pieces of legislation – has become a Speaker in name only, caving to the MAGA wing of his caucus without even a fight.

“Floridians and Americans know this impeachment inquiry is nonsense and more about seeking revenge than ensuring the future of our Democracy, intended to create a political spectacle over unproven allegations against President Biden’s family. 

“Speaker McCarthy and his Republican allies are playing with the well-being of our nation for sport, and the American people are taking note.”
