Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) today announced formal articles of impeachment against President Bernard "Bernie" Sanders. The articles passed the Republican-majority House of Representatives in a non-partisan vote, with all Republicans and fifty-five Democrats voting for while a handful of Democrats voted against.

Article 1, considered the most serious of the six articles, laid out the case for obstruction of Congress by detailing President Sanders' hold on US weapons shipments to Saudi Arabia that Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Al Saud ("MBS") desperately needs to fight Iranian aggression in Yemen. As part of its case against Sanders, Congressional Republican leaders pointed to the President's own incriminating statement:

"I think people are looking at the horrific humanitarian disaster now taking place in Yemen. There was a recent report that over the last number of years some 75,000 children have died of starvation. This is a country dealing with cholera, with a terrible level of famine." then-Senator Bernard Sanders, November 25, 2018

The charge was buttressed by witness testimony, including the US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia as well as an unidentified whistle-blower who valiantly reported a July, 2021 phone call with the Israeli Prime Minister in which President Sanders steadfastly refused to release $1.5 billion of military equipment to the beleaguered Kingdom on exaggerated and illogical humanitarian grounds. He also threatened to reduce US aid to Israel by 10% unless Israel agreed to reduce attacks on Palestinian civilians.

That second threat, of reducing aid to Israel, the only democratic nation in the Middle East and a lifelong friend of the United States, is the basis of impeachment Article 2.

The other four articles dealt with ancillary charges, such as Sanders efforts to establish a working relationship with Russian President and sworn US enemy Vladimir Putin to address climate change, a make-believe crisis that Democrats claim threatens the future of Earth.

Another article involves Sanders' attempt to reinstate the defunct and discredited nuclear agreement (JCPOA) with Iran, an agreement that falsely claimed it harnessed Iran's nuclear ambitions, deadly ambitions that were well-documented by former Israeli PM Benyamin Netanyahu at the United Nations in 2015 and 2018.

As its next step, the House will formally submit the articles of impeachment to the US Senate on Friday. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell promises quick action on this critical matter that threatens the safety and security of the United States of America and its most important allies such as Saudi Arabia and Israel.
