FIRST ON FOX: President Biden has a “smart insurance policy” against impeachment and her name is Vice President Kamala Harris, according to Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert.
Boebert told Fox News Digital that she thinks Republicans’ overwhelmingly negative view of Harris makes them more hesitant to push for Biden’s impeachment than they otherwise would be.
“Kamala Harris is Biden’s shrewd insurance policy,” Boebert said.

“Joe Biden has let the American people down, and he’s stopping some members from calling for impeachment by having a historically unpopular vice president,” the congresswoman continued.
“Both failed to faithfully uphold and enforce the law, and both should be held fully accountable,” she added.
The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on Boebert’s remarks.
Boebert’s comments come as Biden weathers the growing scandal surrounding his retention of three batches of classified documents from his time as vice president in the Obama administration.

So far, classified documents have been found at the Penn Biden Center think tank in Washington, DC, as well as the president’s personal residence in Wilmington, Delaware.
Several of the documents found at Biden’s home in Delaware were in his work garage next to his Corvette.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to say on Tuesday whether Biden’s attorneys were continuing to search for other classified documents the president may have misplaced.
The trove of mishandled documents led Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to investigate the case last week, bringing in former US attorney Robert Hur.
