evidence: And, of course, by what their constituents will tolerate. Recent polling has established that the Republican base will tolerate McCarthy’s impeachment push quite easily. In polling conducted by SSRS for CNN, three-quarters of Republicans said they thought Biden was involved in his son Hunter’s business in a manner that violated the law — a belief that extends even beyond what McCarthy asserted Tuesday. [...] Biden has demonstrably misrepresented his son’s business activities, as The Washington Post has documented. But this claim contrasts Biden’s repeated denials about having discussed his son Hunter’s or his brother Jim’s business activity (recently collected by the Republican majority on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee) with moments in which Biden interacted with people doing business with his family members. [...] This appears to refer to a 2015 email exchange between a business associate of Hunter Biden’s and a communications staffer with the Obama administration in which they shared statements that were being offered to the news media in response to questions about Hunter Biden’s Burisma work. You would be forgiven, given McCarthy’s framing, for thinking the interaction was more significant.
