The top House Republican sharply criticized a reporter
during a news conference Tuesday following Speaker Kevin McCarthy's
announcement that he was authorizing an impeachment inquiry into President Joe
Biden.
During a Freedom Caucus press conference, an incredulous
Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) attacked a reporter who asked what evidence House
Republicans had to begin the investigation.
“What real evidence do you have to counter the allegations
to show the American public that would justify a true impeachment inquiry into
Joe Biden and show that today is not just about some of you?” asked a reporter
off camera.
“Oh, I don't know,” Perry chimed in when the reporter went
on to suggest that Republicans were simply “enacting a political vendetta”
after Democrats impeached then-President Donald Trump.
“This is not about political revenge. We have the bank
accounts that we can see, ma'am. It can be seen that the houses that the Bidens
own cannot be afforded with a salary from Congress or the Senate. "You
also understand that it is not normal for family members to receive millions of
dollars from foreign interests," Perry responded, becoming increasingly
animated and agitated.
