During Monday’s “Fox & Friends,” Steve Doocy pooh-poohed the idea of impeaching President Joe Biden.
With an impeachment inquiry vote scheduled for later this week, Doocy played the spoiler to his enthusiastic co-hosts, arguing that Republicans leading the charge haven’t been able to “connect the dots” between Hunter Biden’s alleged criminal activity and his father.
A CNN poll from September appeared on-screen during the segment, showing that most Americans believed the president knew and was involved in his son’s business dealings.
Lawerence Jones used the poll to claim that Americans wouldn’t have voted for Biden if they knew about the extent of Hunter’s alleged criminality.
In response to a question from Ainsley Earhardt, Steve Doocy shared his belief that if conclusive evidence was produced, millions of Americans would switch their vote from Biden to the eventual Republican presidential nominee.

Lawrence Jones, Ainsley Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade were all willing participants in the segment, which strongly suggested that Hunter Biden’s recent indictments show some sort of shady activity that has to criminally involve his father, given reported phone calls and dinners Joe Biden attended with his son and business associates. But then Doocy did his thing:
“The Republicans at this point don’t have — they’ve got a lot of ledgers and spreadsheets — but they have not connected the dots,” Doocy said of Joe Biden, adding, “They’ve connected the dots, the Department of Justice did, on Hunter, but they have not shown where Joe Biden, you know, did anything illegally.”
“Now, here’s the other breaking news, and that is the Republicans are threatening contempt of Congress if Hunter does not show up for a closed-door deposition,” he added. “Ultimately, on this show, we’ve been calling for Hunter to go and sit in a chair on Capitol Hill in front of the TV cameras for the last year. Now, Hunter’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, says he will do that, but Comer and Jim Jordan say, no, it’s not negotiable, he’s got to be in private. According to Hunter Biden’s team, they don’t want to do it because of leaks and stuff like that.”
Following the most recent indictment for allegedly failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes, Hunter Biden faces a total of nine criminal charges, including three felonies.
