GOP lawmaker calls on Cabinet to ‘explore’ removing Biden under 25th Amendment (Rep. Claudia Tenney)

Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) called on members of the Biden administration to “explore” removing President Biden under the 25th Amendment after a special counsel cleared him of any wrongdoing but painted him as an elderly man with a failing memory.

In a letter obtained by Fox News Digital, Tenney reportedly wrote to Attorney General Merrick Garland Thursday night to share her “grave concerns.”

“After concluding that President Biden knowingly and willfully removed, mishandled, and disclosed classified documents repeatedly over a period of decades, Mr. Hur nevertheless recommended that charges not be brought against him,” her letter said. “Special Counsel’s reasoning was alarming.”

Special Counsel Robert Hur released his findings Thursday in the case into Biden’s handling of classified materials. Hur’s 388-page report investigated how documents from Biden’s time as vice president ended up at his Wilmington, Del., home and an old office space. Hur determined that he “willfully” retained the documents but didn’t bring forth any charges, describing Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory.”

Tenney argued that the Department of Justice “cannot ethically” bring charges against former President Trump and decline to bring them against Biden.

She argued that Biden, who is 81, is lacking the ability to execute his responsibilities as president.

No offense to her but I believe the Dem Progressive Socialist Party is in the act of destroying it’s election chances and needs a quick exit for the unpopular leader.

Why provide them with one?

The letter was signed by only ONE lonely, undistinguished, unknown member of the GOP? That’s not a powerhouse punch.

Did she do this with Johson’s approval? Or did Johnson hand-pick Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) to send the letter without co-authors?

Does Johnson and the GOP know that the 25A is too steep a hill, so they are going to damage Biden from here to November with his senility, incompetence and advanced age? Maybe this is the first salvo to irreparably damage Biden for November?

Why did Johnson decide to not go for the jugular tonight? How does not going for the jugular help Trump in November?

Interesting strategy all around here, but we aren’t seeing the whole picture, I’m sure.

Careful what you wish for…. whoever replaces Joe Biden is going to be more formidable than him.

Yup—all Republican lawmakers should be required to read Sun Tzu.

They are brutally bad at strategic and tactical thinking.

I fully expect one GOP-E RINO Senator to switch parties hours prior to the DNC:

Republicants are the Washington Generals of politics. Designated Losers and they like it that way , the checks keep coming in too. It’s a good gig.

There are always enough to defect to Democrats when the need arises.

Disgusting bastards .

That would drop the ball to Harris. They don’t want that. With DJT it would’ve handed it to Pence. The deep state would’ve welcomed that. Harris would be a bigger problem. IMO

Harris assumes the Oval Office-watch them really squirm. No way in for Newsom to get the nomination without her going along-fat chance. She’ll go crazy, the country will go crazy and we throw gasoline on the fire if we’re smart.

25 cabinet members? No way.

Did you see Putin tonight? That’s VegPres’ adversary. Putin looked pretty good for a survivor of three fatal bouts with cancer and two assassinations.

If Donald Trump acted like a dementia patient would Jack Smith drop the charges?

Making Biden leave now makes Harris become their front runner. She’s even more unlikable than Dimentia Joe. This would also cause a mess at the DNC as she would want to run for election as an incumbent. So tactically we may want that, instead of Newsom or Michelle.

Rick Scott is calling for Biden to be removed via the 25th also. My guess is Biden will be gone by the end of the month.

For maximum fun and enjoyment go back to the comments of Pelosi and others who asked for Trump’s cabinet to invoke the 25th against DJT and mirror her comments. Watch the heads of Democrats explode, then tell them who you were quoting.
