Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) argued on Sunday that Republicans should "easily" vote to begin an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden because former Rep. George Santos (R-NY) was expelled from Congress.

During an interview on Fox News, host Maria Bartiromo pointed out that some Republicans might not vote for an impeachment inquiry.

"If you've got some members of Congress who decide they don't want to vote for an impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden, putting the corruption aside, you know, just simple on policy, a wide open border, a foreign policy disaster with the exit from Afghanistan, botched exit," Bartiromo said. "Do you think those Congress people will see voters get upset and move to replace them, primary them?"

"I can't speak to those colleagues," Donalds replied. "But if you're going to take a vote to expel George Santos based upon the Ethics Committee report, then you should easily be able to vote for an impeachment inquiry based upon the investigation that's been brought forward by the Oversight Committee, the Judiciary Committee and the Ways and Means Committee."

"Because with all due respect, with everything that happened with George and the accusations are not good, but that pales in comparison to the accusations that have been leveled and the evidence that has come underneath those accusations against the Biden family," he added. "So I would urge all of my colleagues to vote for that impeachment inquiry this week."

Ed. Note: There was actual EVIDENCE against Santos. They don't have any here.
