Republican narrative:
- Democrats and their friends in the corporate media have done their best to shield the Biden family, but there's ample evidence of their consistent abuse of power and shocking negligence. From Hunter's tax crimes to Biden’s failed border policies, it's time that the Biden family finally be held accountable, and this is the first step in doing so.

Democratic narrative:
- Whether it be the outcries of the far right or the continued murmurs of the party's establishment, Republican discussions of impeachment against Biden are merely an attempt to retaliate against the plethora of charges currently facing Donald Trump. An effort to confuse Americans between fact and fiction, the Republican desire to undermine Biden in such a manner is an act of desperation that's doomed to fail.
