As a rule, Republicans don't usually discuss impeaching their own president. But these are not usual times.
One of the most vulnerable Republicans in
Congress, Florida Rep. Carlos Curbelo, is so intent on getting credit
for being the first GOP lawmaker to discuss impeaching President Donald
Trump that his office called up Mother Jones magazine and got them add a
correction to a recent story.
"Following publication, a spokeswoman for
Curbelo contacted Mother Jones to point out that 'Congressman Curbelo
was actually the first Republican to mention impeachment,'" reads the correction.
The article originally stated that Michigan
Rep. Justin Amash, a libertarian who often breaks with his party, was
the first. Neither congressman has advocated impeaching Trump, but both
have noted publicly it is a possible outcome of Trump's firing of former
FBI Director James Comey.
