Freshman Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) announced on Thursday that articles of impeachment are being prepared against President Joe Biden over his decision to withhold aid to Israel for political reasons. This move comes as Biden faces criticism for withholding bombs from Israel, a decision that has sparked concerns over its political implications.
Biden’s decision has put him at odds with moderate Democrats who support Israel’s ability to defend itself against terrorists, while his base has been pushing for defunding Israel. With an election year underway and Biden trailing in the polls to Trump, the president appears stuck between competing coalitions.
Mills drew parallels between Biden’s decision and the accusations made against former President Donald Trump in 2019, who was impeached by Democrats for withholding military aid from Ukraine for alleged political reasons. “The same must happen for Joe Biden, which is why we’re drawing up articles of impeachment now,” Mills told Fox News.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) has already expressed support for impeachment proceedings, stating that “the House has no choice but to impeach Biden based on the Trump-Ukraine precedent of withholding foreign aid to help with reelection.” Trump himself has also accused Biden of making a political decision, saying “he did it as a political decision… you have to do the right decision, not the political decision.”

That’s amusing, especially since all their other attempts bombed, are they therefore admitting that trump’s first impeachment was indeed valid?
Let’s also consider that Presidents Eisenhower, Reagan and Bush Sr all withheld support or weapons to Israel and were not impeached.
Ha Ha! Serves him right…
You can only impeach Republicans!!
How dare you compare a Democrat to a Republican?!
Trump is evil!
You have to be crazy to impeach a Democrat!
I’m not a fan of Biden (nor Trump, for that matter), but this is silly and childish. There’s no comparing withholding military aid for Ukraine, which was purely for political gain, and withholding military aid for Israel. I disagree with his position, but he’s been pretty consistent saying that he is against an operation in Rafah as there are a million Gazans there seeking refuge, and he hasn’t heard a clear explaining for how they will be out of harm’s way. As such, he refused to be a part of anything happening and withheld weapons that were to be used in Rafah…nothing political here….Not sure why everyone was so shocked by the decision.
