Said he was with Rep. Marjorie Greene (R-Ga.) Spoke about her attempts to move articles of impeachment against newly inaugurated President Biden.
In an interview with Greta Van Susteren, McCarthy said he disagreed with the first-term legislature’s attempts to oust Biden, but that she has the right to pursue impeachment.

“She has the right, as an elected member of Congress, to submit it,” he added, “I just don’t think the timing and the matter are right at the moment, right now.”
Greene’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.
Georgia lawmakers said Thursday – the first full day of the Biden administration – that she had filed the articles of impeachment.
The text of the articles was not immediately available, but she hinted that they accuse Biden of abusing his power while serving as vice president by allowing his son, Hunter Biden, to take the board of a Ukrainian energy company to serve.

His pattern of abuse of power as President Obama’s vice president is long-lasting and troubling. President Biden has shown that he will do whatever it takes to save his son Hunter and fill his family’s wallets with money from corrupt foreign energy companies, ”Greene said in a statement.
Biden has denied that his son’s position influenced his policy-making during the Obama administration, and an investigation into the matter by Senate Republicans found no wrongdoing by Biden.
Greene’s announcement came Thursday after the House voted last week to impeach then-president Trump, making him the first president in history to be impeached on two separate occasions.
The intervention of the best Republican in the House comes as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle try to lower the political temperature after the violent uprising at the Capitol on Jan. 6 that resulted in the deaths of several people.
Greene has made a big impression on Capitol Hill since she was sworn in earlier this month. Her candidacy drew national attention after it was revealed she had made comments in support of the bizarre QAnon conspiracy theory, and she has used her time in Washington to protest masks and promote disputed claims that the presidential election was marred by widespread fraud.
