‘They … don’t want to face me,’ Biden says after Ernst suggests he could be impeached

After Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, suggested Sunday that Republicans could move to impeach former Vice President Joe Biden over Ukraine if he were elected president, Biden said her comments show President Donald Trump and his allies are scared of him.

Ernst, an Iowa Republican, gave an interview to Bloomberg News on Sunday where she suggested House Democrats’ impeachment of Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress has lowered the bar for impeaching a president.

“I think this door of impeachable whatever has been opened,” Ernst told Bloomberg News in the interview. “Joe Biden should be very careful what he’s asking for because, you know, we can have a situation where if it should ever be President Biden, that immediately, people, right the day after he would be elected would be saying, ‘Well, we’re going to impeach him.'”

Brook Ramlet, a senior adviser to Ernst, said Sunday that Ernst was making a hypothetical point and that she never said she thinks Biden should be impeached.
