The Pennsylvania Democrat taunted House Republicans who are planning to launch an impeachment inquiry, calling it a losing strategy.

Sen. John Fetterman offered a message Wednesday to House Republicans considering impeaching President Joe Biden: “Go ahead, do it. I dare you.”

Speaking to reporters in his Senate office, the Pennsylvania Democrat suggested that the impeachment push by Republicans on the other side of the Capitol was meant to deflect from the mountain of legal problems facing former President Donald Trump.

“Your man has what, three or four indictments now?” Fetterman said. “Trump has a mug shot and he’s been impeached twice.”

“Sometimes you just gotta call their bullshit,” he said.

The first-term senator went on to say that a Biden impeachment "would just be like a big circle jerk on the fringe right,” and “would diminish what impeachment really means.”

Note: As pointed out by reddig33 in comments, this is an old photo. Here’s a couple examples of his new look.

    He’s been caught many times, you just bury your head in the sand and pretend it didn’t happen. Sad to see what the world is coming to.

        He talked about doing crimes for his son Hunter on video. He said he extorted the Ukraine threatening to withhold money unless they fired the prosecutor that was investigating the company that was paying Hunter $50,000 a month.

          Really? Any actual video, or is it just something you heard on Truthy Liberty Patriot (or whatever the current “grassroots” conservative bullshit generator is).

            It’s a real video, Biden bragged that he got that “son of a bitch” (the prosecutor investigating his son’s company for corruption) within 6 hours of threatening not to give Ukraine a billion dollar loan.

              Oh you mean this.

              Shokin wasn’t investigating Burisma…

              Kaleniuk and AntAC published a detailed timeline of events surrounding the Burisma case, an outline of evidence suggesting that three consecutive chief prosecutors of Ukraine – first Shokin’s predecessor, then Shokin, and then his successor – worked to bury it.

              “Ironically, Joe Biden asked Shokin to leave because the prosecutor failed [to pursue] the Burisma investigation, not because Shokin was tough and active with this case,” Kaleniuk said.

              Ukrainian prosecutors have described no evidence indicating that Biden sought to help his son by getting Shokin dismissed – and have suggested that they have not discovered any such evidence.

              But there is a long list of Western organizations, governments, and diplomats, as well as Ukrainian anti-corruption groups, that wanted to see Shokin fired.

              They include the International Monetary Fund, the European Union, the U.S. government, foreign investors, and Ukrainian advocates of reform.

              So, more Trump lies I guess.

              Also, Biden didn’t call the guy a sob, the quote is “well son of a bitch, they fired him”.

                  For access to Vice-President Biden. Did they get that access? So far, there is no evidence for that.

                  Why was Trump’s son in law paid 2 billion dollars by the Saudi Royal family? Compared to Biden’s $11 million (exorbitant, I agree), seems kind of urgent don’t you think?

                  I don’t know… therefore Joe Biden is the mastermind behind it all! 🤯

                  Get subpoenas, get search warrants, get testimony. Y’know, all the things they did against Trump. For the party of “law and order” the GOP sucks ass at investigating things. I read the text of the impeachment bill and can summarize as such, “Hunter is sketchy. His dad (then Vice-president) didn’t stop his son’s sketchy behavior.” I mean this whole thing hinges on the fact they share DNA.

                  Why did Trump’s son get 2 billion from the corrupt Saudi government… literally the same crime you accused Hunter Biden of and you don’t care??? Or it okay cause trumps son is on your team?

                  You know politics isn’t a sports team? It’s not tribal? Why can’t you help yourself?

                    Trumps son was doing a legit business deal , Hunter just got paid money for smoking crack and taking pictures of his junk
