House Freedom Caucus members on Tuesday appeared eager for Speaker Kevin
McCarthy to make good on his recent veiled impeachment threat against President Biden,
and one member of the conservative group of GOP members said the leader’s words
marked a "paradigm shift."

"When he does speak to … impeachment, it carries a tremendous amount of weight. And

that's why think the ground shifted on that a little bit when he opened up the door," Rep.
I

Bob Good, R-Va., said after a Freedom Caucus press conference on Tuesday. "I don't think
there's any question that him speaking to that has caused a paradigm shift."

After a series of hearings and briefings on alleged misconduct by Biden and his family,
McCarthy said on Fox News' "Hannity" Monday night, "This is rising to the level of
impeachment inquiry, which provides Congress the strongest power to get the rest of the
knowledge and information needed."

It’sthe most direct comment the speaker has made about impeaching Biden so far,
something the hardliners in his conference have been clamoring for since the House GOP
took the majority this year.

DELAWARE CASE

Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., told reporters that there could be "an uprising" against President Biden.

Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., suggested there would be "an uprising" against Biden if the
House did not move forward with trying to remove him.

"Look, the evidence is mounting against this guy. Look at what he’s done," Norman said.
"What Donald Trump’s done with papers pales in comparison."

Norman said there was a "difference of opinion" on whether to take such a severe step but
dismissed the idea of risking an impeachment vote that fails.

"Some people think that what he’s done isn’t that bad. A lot of us in general – the public,
it’s going to be an uprising against this guy, I think, at the end of the day."

Norman answered "all of the above" during the press conference when asked about which
Biden official should be impeached first.

Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., said Mayorkas would be the "low-hanging fruit" to initially
consider. "But with the evidence that we've induced in the Oversight Committee and
Judiciary Committee with regard to the Biden – I would call it from the crime syndicate, I

don't know what else you can call it – the corruption that's there," he said.

"That would certainly be a very interesting and perhaps even necessary step," he said. "I’ll
just tell you that the evidence I’ve seen is overwhelming, and it would lead one to believe
our president, our sitting president, is corrupted and compromised."

At one point, Norman took a jab at Vice President Harris that earned some nervous
laughter by saying, "I realize the replacement for Joe Biden is probably giggling
somewhere now, so she’s not an alternative."

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment but did not immediately
hear back.
