Outkick’s Tomi Lahren admitted Sunday that the House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden that includes an investigation into son Hunter Biden,”is falling flat” with Americans watching the saga play out on television.

Lahren, a conservative pundit, appeared along with former Obama official Philippe Reines on Fox News’ MediaBuzz with Howard Kurtz.

During the discussion, Lahren found herself agreeing with Reines’ assessment of why Republicans wanted to question Hunter Biden behind closed doors.

“Republicans don’t want for us, the voters, to turn on our television and to see the dynamic of beating up on the president’s son. It’s not going to look good,” Reines said.

“I gotta say, as somebody who does believe there’s plenty of evidence here, I think that this has failed optically for Republicans,” Lahren agreed. She continued:

They’ve done good work. Obviously, Jim Jordan, [James] Comer, have done great work on this, but optically it does make it seem as though they’re beating up on someone with addiction issues. That’s exactly how the media wanted it, that’s how they framed it, and, unfortunately, that’s what’s coming to fruition. So, I would encourage Republicans — I know you want to get to the bottom of this — but let’s focus on the election, let’s focus on the failed policies of Joe Biden. This impeachment inquiry, unfortunately, is falling flat with a lot of viewers and voters.

“Tomi and I found common ground,” Reines said. “Failed optics.”

Kurtz added, “What Comer said after the news broke that the star witness, the former FBI informant that the committee was relying on, told that he was reliable, that he was indicted for lying about his Biden family corruption allegations. What Comer said was, he might not even ask the House to vote on impeachment, wants to wind this up. Is this a sign that this balloon is deflating?” Kurtz asked.

“Absolutely. The balloon was pretty empty to begin with because, as you said, it’s relying on a witness that has been discredited, arrested, the whole nine yards,” Reines said. He continued:

Congress has looked into something, they’re not finding it, but they won’t let it go. And Mike Johnson, back to the earlier point, is not equipped, is not authorized to let it go because you have people in that caucus that are not going to stop. The Republican if conference are going to keep going until they find someone that says something that lets them beat it to death.
