Representative James Comer (KY) claimed his fellow House Republicans have enough votes to advance their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden because — as he put it — the Walmart shoppers have spoken.

The House Oversight Committee chairman joined Maria Bartiromo for Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, where they spoke about when and if Republicans would secure the votes needed to launch the inquiry. Comer was confident they have enough moderates on board to move forward now since… well, here’s how he explained it:

I had a reporter ask ‘Well, what’s changed,’ you know, because the press has been riding ‘We didn’t have the votes forever.’

I’ll tell you one thing that’s changed. We were in Washington, D.C. for 10 weeks, and there are about 10-15 moderates. They really worry about what CNN says, or what The Washington Post writes, and they were getting in their head, Maria.

But then, a great thing happened during Thanksgiving: the members went home. Many of ’em for the first time in over 10 weeks, and they met people in Walmart, and people on Main Street, and they’re like ‘What in the world have the Bidens done to receive millions and millions of dollars from our enemies around the world, and did they not pay taxes on it?’

So they heard from their constituents. Yes. We want you the move forward. We want the know the truth, and we expect the Bidens to be held accountable for public corruption. So we are unified at a time when I think it’s no secret our conference is broken in a lot of ways. The members have heard from their constituents back home. They have confidence in the credibility of our investigation, and the mountains of evidence we’ve accumulated. So I’m confident we’re gonna have the votes to move forward with this impeachment inquiry.

As the Congressional GOP carries on their efforts against the Biden family, Bartiromo noted that getting a majority will be more difficult since disgraced former Congressman George Santos (R-NY) was ousted last week. The Biden administration has been largely dismissive of the House’s probe, and White House Spokesman Ian Sams was highly entertained by Comer claiming the inquiry will go through because the Walmart shoppers demand it.
