Representative Cory Mills, a first-term lawmaker from Florida, is preparing impeachment articles against President Biden over his threat to halt U.S. offensive aid to Israel.
Mills accused Biden of forcing Israel into a “quid pro quo” situation by leveraging U.S. dollars against the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza. This move draws parallels to the Democrats’ first impeachment of former President Trump over his handling of Ukraine aid.
Mills stated, “The House has no choice but to impeach President ‘Quid Pro Joe’ Biden. As Vice President, Biden was caught threatening to withhold funding and aid to Ukraine unless they fired the attorney general investigating Burisma, a company financially benefiting his son Hunter, not to mention the 10% share for ‘the big guy’ himself.

“Now, Joe Biden is pressuring Israel, our biggest ally in the Middle East, by pausing their funding that has already been approved in the House, if they don’t stop all operations with Hamas. It’s a very clear message, ‘this for that.’
“These are the same accusations made against President Trump, which resulted in his impeachment by Democrats. The same must happen for Joe Biden, which is why we’re drawing up articles of impeachment now.”
Biden made the high-stakes ultimatum to Israel’s government in a CNN interview that aired Wednesday night. Israel is preparing for a ground invasion of the southern Gaza city of Rafah, which is currently housing over a million Palestinians who have left other parts of the Gaza Strip.
Biden stated that Israel would continue to see U.S. support for its defensive systems like the Iron Dome. However, he added, “If they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities, that deal with that problem.”
This statement has prompted a flurry of backlash from Republicans and some moderate Democrats.
Several more GOP lawmakers voiced support for impeaching Biden over the decision, arguing that there are parallels to Trump’s withholding of weapons aid to Ukraine in exchange for announcing an investigation into the Biden family.
Representative Andrew Clyde called on the House to open an immediate impeachment inquiry, stating, “Given Democrats’ Trump-Ukraine precedent, President Biden’s decision to withhold lethal aid to our ally, Israel, for political gain is undoubtedly an impeachable offense.
The nefarious motive behind our commander-in-chief’s move to condition U.S. aid to Israel is to appease radical leftists and Hamas sympathizers ahead of the 2024 election. The House must immediately open an impeachment inquiry due to the president’s disastrous decision to play politics with national security.”
Representative Jim Banks also expressed his support for impeachment, stating, “The Democrats made their bed, and now they’re lying in it.
“This is just the latest on a long list of reasons to impeach Biden, including the deadline withdrawal in Afghanistan and allowing more than 9 million illegal immigrants to invade our southern border.”
It is highly unlikely for the push to reach the level of a Senate trial, as the House’s ongoing impeachment inquiry into Biden is still searching for smoking gun evidence amid a mountain of accusations of improper behavior and bribery.
However, this situation highlights the sky-high tensions that have taken over Washington amid Israel’s war on Hamas after the militant group’s October 7 attack.
Representative Darrell Issa stopped short of calling for impeachment but criticized Biden’s actions, stating, “The president is essentially threatening an arms embargo on our closest ally in the Middle East that is fighting a terror army holding American citizens hostage.
“Withholding critical munitions that Congress appropriated and Biden himself signed into law is wrong.”
The first member of Congress to call for impeachment was Senator Tom Cotton, who posted on Twitter, “The House has no choice but to impeach Biden based on the Trump-Ukraine precedent of withholding foreign aid to help with reelection. Only with Biden, it’s true.”
