I know a lot of us don’t read the news, so here’s a meme. The Republican Speaker of the House has begun an impeachment inquiry on U.S. President Biden.

I don't think this will certainly hurt the GOP representatives. Regardless of nationwide voters' opinion on their stupidity and assholery, the main thing that matters to each individual representative is if their specific district will re-elect them. Since each one of them is pandering to their district, they're fine. So no matter how much I despise McCarthy or MTG, it has almost absolutely no impact on their power.

I didn't mean to imply that it would hurt the GOP. Nothing hurts the GOP with their base, except being weak like Jesus.
