An old social media post from Joe Biden is coming back to haunt him.
The 2019 social media post was sent during the dust-up over Trump’s phone call with Zelensky, claiming that Democrats had every right to impeach him for withholding promised aid if certain conditions were not met.
“President Trump withheld Congressionally appropriated aid to Ukraine unless they granted him a political favor,” Biden tweeted on October 18, 2019. “It’s the definition of quid pro quo. This is no joke — Trump continues to put his own personal, political interests ahead of the national interest. He must be impeached.”

Scott Jennings leveled Biden calling out his double standard.

Notice how Axlerod tried to claim that it’s different when Joe Biden withholds aid.

“Joe Biden is withholding Congressionally appropriated aid to Israel unless they grant him a political favor. It’s the definition of quid pro quo. ‘If they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah,’” Steve Guest posted.

Rep. Corey Mills has said that the House is preparing impeachment articles because Biden has left them “no choice.”
“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,” Mills said in a statement. “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.’”
