ABC’s Jon Karl was in full panic mode while interviewing Virginia Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin. Karl stressed that a GOP majority could mean several motions to impeach Democrats, including Biden. He continually pressed Youngkin to condemn Republicans seeking impeachment but the Governor did not take the bait.
Never mind that the country was put through two major impeachment scandals by the Democrats. Karl was beside himself at the idea that the same could be done to Biden, but this time with evidence and results!
“What about all this impeachment talk? I mean, I’ve gone through — I can count at least three members of the Biden cabinet that Republicans have talked about impeaching and obviously there have already been impeachment resolutions introduced, many of them for Biden himself. Would that be a mistake for Republicans to go in with?” Karl pressed Youngkin.
Youngkin responded by saying that he is only there to support Virginia and that isn’t about to talk about the intentions of other politicians.
That’s when Karl tried to get Youngkin to condemn impeachment-ready Republicans saying, “Would that be a mistake is all I’m asking?”
Youngkin ended the line of questioning by noting, “My job as Governor in Virginia is to deliver for Virginians and, oh, by the way, I think Republicans offer answers that Democrats have failed to offer over and over and over again.”

JON KARL: I’m hearing a lot, though, of talk about investigations, investigations into Hunter Biden, FBI, all things Anthony Fauci, Republicans talking about going, you know, all in if they take control of particularly the House. Is that really what you’re campaigning on to have massive investigations into all—
GOVERNOR GLENN YOUNGKIN: I think that the House and the Senate and the White House are going to have to go to work and offer solutions. On top of that, our democracy is better when our Congress exercises its responsibility for oversight and they can also deliver answers. I think voters are going to make a statement on Tuesday and they want their elected leaders to deliver results.
KARL: What about all this impeachment talk? I mean, I’ve gone through — I can count at least three members of the Biden cabinet that Republicans have talked about impeaching and obviously there have already been impeachment resolutions introduced, many of them for Biden himself. Would that be a mistake for Republicans to go in with?
YOUNGKIN: Again, I believe strongly our democracy is better when our Congress exercises its oversight functions.
KARL: Impeachment?
YOUNGKIN: The reality of this is Virginians are gonna vote for congressional representatives and I think that we’re going to see a number of seats flip and they want them to go to work to deliver.
KARL: But let me press you on that, though, common sense kitchen table issues, that’s what you’ve been talking about. Is that what voters have in mind impeaching Joe Biden? I’m hearing that a lot.
YOUNGKIN: You know, I don’t know — I don’t know if —
KARL: Would that be a mistake is all I’m asking.
YOUNGKIN: I can’t speculate on what they’re going to do. What I can tell you –
KARL: What they should do is what I’m asking.
YOUNGKIN: Is they have done—well, I’m a Governor.
KARL: I know but you’re campaigning —
YOUNGKIN: My job as Governor in Virginia is to deliver for Virginians and, oh, by the way, I think Republicans offer answers that Democrats have failed to offer over and over and over again.
