In an engaging\u200c interview with Maria Bartiromo on\u200c Fox News&#8217;s Sunday Morning Futures, Comer\u2062 revealed\u200c that moderate GOP holdouts have had a change of heart after spending 10 weeks in Congress.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We were in Washington, D.C. for 10 weeks, and \u2063there are \u200babout 15 or 20\u200d moderates &#8230; \u2062they were getting\u2063 in their head, Maria, but a\u200d great thing happened during Thanksgiving,&#8221; Comer said. &#8220;The\u2062 members went home \u200d\u2014 \u2064many of \u200bthem for the first time and circulated for the first time \u200din over 10 weeks \u2014 and they met people in Walmart and people on Main Street, and\u200d they&#8217;re like, &#8216;What in the world have the Biden&#8217;s done to receive millions\u200b and millions of dollars \u2063from our enemies around \u200cthe world \u200dand did they not pay taxes on it?'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;So they heard from their constituents, &#8216;Yes, we want you to move forward. We want to know the truth, and we expect the Biden&#8217;s to be held accountable for public corruption,'&#8221; Comer added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Comer emphasized the unity within the Republican conference regarding the impeachment inquiry, despite acknowledging that the conference is currently fractured\u200d in various ways. He stated, &#8220;The members \u2064have heard from their constituents back \u2064home; they have confidence in the credibility of our investigation \u2063and the \u200dmountains of evidence that we&#8217;ve accumulated. So, I&#8217;m\u200d confident we&#8217;re gonna \u2064have the votes to move forward with this impeachment inquiry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since late September, Republicans on \u200bthe\u2064 House Oversight, Judiciary, and \u200dWays and Means Committees have been \u2064leading \u200bthe charge on the impeachment inquiry, conducting hearings on the matter. House Speaker\u200b Mike Johnson (R-LA) deemed the impeachment inquiry vote as a necessary step due to \u2063the alleged stonewalling of investigations by the Biden administration. The House Oversight Committee has already obtained a substantial amount \u2063of evidence, including private financial records, Treasury Department reports, witness interviews, \u2063and vice \u2063presidential material from the National Archives.<\/p>\n<p>House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) informed House GOP members in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ny-gov-cuomo-shunned-experts-embraced-lobbyists-drove-top-health-officials-to-quit-over-pandemic-response-report\/\" title=\"NY Gov. Cuomo Shunned Experts, Embraced Lobbyists, Drove Top Health Officials To Quit Over Pandemic Response: Report\">closed-door meeting<\/a> that a vote \u200bto authorize the impeachment inquiry is likely to take place within the next few weeks before the House recesses on December 14.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE\u2063 WASHINGTON \u200dEXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What are\u200c some of the \u200creasons why House Republicans believe that President Biden should be held accountable and potentially face impeachment<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Home to their districts, they were inundated with calls from constituents who were concerned about President Biden&#8217;s actions and the state of our country. It really changed their perspective.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Comer emphasized that these moderate Republicans, who had initially\u2063 been hesitant to support an \u200bimpeachment inquiry, are now fully\u2062 on \u200dboard. He stated that they recognize the\u2062 importance of holding President Biden accountable for his actions and\u2062 ensuring the \u200cintegrity\u200b of the office of the presidency.<\/p>\n<p>During the interview, Comer also highlighted some of the key concerns that have prompted House Republicans to initiate the impeachment inquiry. He pointed to President Biden&#8217;s handling\u200c of the \u200bwithdrawal from \u2064Afghanistan as\u200b one of the main issues of contention, stating\u200b that it was a failure of leadership \u2064that resulted\u200d in\u2064 the loss of American lives and the abandonment of Afghan allies.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, \u2062Comer expressed his disappointment with the Biden administration&#8217;s handling of the economy and rising inflation. He argued that the President&#8217;s policies, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-administration-backs-plan-to-increase-disclosure-requirements-for-cryptocurrency\/\" title=\"Biden Administration Backs Plan to Increase Disclosure Requirements for Cryptocurrency\">massive infrastructure bill<\/a> and proposed tax hikes, will only further burden American taxpayers and hinder economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>Comer also raised concerns about President Biden&#8217;s failure to secure the southern border. \u200bHe criticized the administration&#8217;s lax immigration policies, arguing that they pose a threat to national security and \u2062exacerbate the ongoing border crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Despite facing backlash and\u2062 criticism from Democrats, Comer remains confident \u200din the support of House Republicans for the impeachment inquiry. He believes that the American people deserve transparency and accountability \u2063from their\u2064 elected leaders, regardless of political affiliation.<\/p>\n<p>Comer acknowledged that impeaching a sitting president \u2064is a serious matter and should\u2062 not be taken lightly. However, \u2064he\u200d believes the\u200b evidence against President Biden is \u2062compelling enough to\u200c warrant a \u200cthorough investigation. He stated, &#8220;This is about preserving the integrity\u2064 of the office of the presidency and ensuring that no \u200done is above the law.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While it remains to be seen whether the impeachment\u2063 inquiry will ultimately lead\u2062 to the removal of\u200b President Biden from office, House Republicans are \u2063determined to carry out their constitutional duty to hold the President accountable. Comer expressed his hope that the inquiry will shed light on any potential wrongdoing and restore trust in the nation&#8217;s highest position of power.<\/p>\n<p>As the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pelosi-slams-biden-impeachment-inquiry-if-you-have-a-difference-of-opinion-you-just-cant-be-impeaching\/\" title=\"Pelosi criticizes Biden impeachment inquiry: 'Impeachment shouldn't be used for mere disagreements.'\">impeachment inquiry moves forward<\/a>, House Republicans will continue to make \u200ctheir case to the American people and work diligently to secure the necessary votes \u2062to authorize the formal investigation. Comer concluded, \u200b&#8221;We will not be deterred in our pursuit of justice and the truth.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) believes House Republicans will secure enough votes for a formal impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden.
