WASHINGTON — First-term Congress member Brad Finstad has aligned himself with hard-right Republicans in the House who want President Biden impeached. In a Facebook post, Finsted opined that Americans deserve an impeachment query. Why? He didn’t say. Finstad, elected in 2022 from southern Minnesota, has been a die-hard supporter of ex-President Donald Trump, who also wants Biden impeached — this in revenge for losing to Biden in the 2022 election. In his 16 months in Washington, Finstad has toadied consistently to the extremist GOP wing in the House but without engaging in dialogue to explain his positions. Online responses to Finstad’s Facebook were varied. Among them:
> “Thank you, Brad, for your support of a dementia ridden traitor.” This seems to be labeling Biden a traitor but without any supporting evidence about either dementia or seditious treachery.
> “Seriously, Brad, this is an act of revenge and anyone with a brain knows it. You should be ashamed of yourself for supporting this and insulting us and thinking we’ll buy your BS.”
