Comparing what this congressman is doing to what Marjorie Taylor Greene did during Biden's presidency strikes me as a false equivalency and throws the entire angle of this article into question. While I agree that trying to file articles of impeachment at this point is not productive, it would have been the correct thing to do pre-2016.
There's a bit too much both-sidesism for my taste as well, but here I think they're going for historical context, which is relevant and also serves to show the absurdity of MTG's actions.
