House Speaker Mike Johnson's previous remarks criticizing "single party" impeachment attempts against a president have been brought up amid House Republicans' hopes to launch an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden.
During a Tuesday interview with Fox News' Bret Baier, Johnson discussed the upcoming vote to formalize the impeachment inquiry into Biden's business dealings which is due to take place on Wednesday.

Ahead of the vote, Baier played a clip of Johnson speaking in 2019 in which he criticized Democrats for trying to launch the first impeachment hearing against former President Donald Trump without the support of the GOP, or a House vote. Trump was impeached by the House, but acquitted in the Senate, over allegations he threatened to withdraw military aid to Ukraine unless the country's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, promised to investigate Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine ahead of the 2020 election.
"The founders of this country warned against a single-party impeachment for good reason. They feared that it would bitterly and perhaps irreparably divide our nation," Johnson said during a December 2019 House debate on impeaching Trump.
