I think it was politicized. This shouldn\u2019t be playground games,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis should be serious, should go through the Judiciary Committee or Oversight Committee. And if there [are] real facts for impeachment, then you go there, but doing this is wrong,\u201d Bacon said.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to USA Today, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/little-b-boebert-mtg-reportedly-get-heated-fight-house-floor-video-captures-exchange\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boebert<\/a> said, \u201cImpeachment is personal to every Coloradan who lost a loved one to fentanyl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cColoradans know that Joe Biden needs to be impeached.
