After downplaying the idea of impeachment of President Joe Biden earlier this week, Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville said Wednesday he is fully on board with the idea.

Tuberville released a video on social media in which he appeared to step back from his comments skeptical of impeachment reported Monday by CNN.

Tuberville’s full comments Wednesday in the one-minute video: “Hey, Coach here. I just came from a meeting with Congressman Jim Jordan and Congressman James Comer. And for the first time here in the Senate, most of us just sit down and listen, as they laid out the case against President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. You know, I am absolutely shocked by the scale of the allegations and the strength of the evidence. We ought to be ashamed. Our media ought to be ashamed. Our institutions should be ashamed of what’s gone on for the last four years without being investigated. I commend Speaker (Kevin) McCarthy for him moving forward with impeachment inquiry. You know, I don’t like impeachment. You know, it holds back our country. But in this case, it needs to happen. The American people deserve the truth.”

Jordan and Comer, as chairs of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees, respectively, along with House Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith have been tasked by McCarthy with coordinating the impeachment inquiry he launched earlier this week. Jordan and Comer briefed Senate Republicans on Thursday about the impeachment inquiry.

On Monday, Tuberville urged House Republicans to have an “ironclad case” against Biden before proceeding with impeachment while also questioning, given 2024 is an election year, if there is enough time for an impeachment.

“When you go after a former president or a president, have all of your ducks in a row,” Tuberville said, according to a CNN report. “Make sure you got what you need to have. Don’t be guessing. Don’t just be throwing mud.”

The mechanism of impeachment comes from the House of Representatives. Should a majority of the House vote for impeachment, the case will then go to the Senate, where the person impeached will be tried and the 100 senators will serve as jurors.

There have only been three presidents impeached by the House – Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump twice. No president has ever been removed from office by impeachment.

On Monday, Tuberville also indicated a lack of enthusiasm about an impeachment trial.

“I’m not for going through another damn trial to be honest with you,” Tuberville told CNN. Tuberville, less than a month after being sworn into office, voted to acquit Trump in his second impeachment in January 2021.

McCarthy said the impeachment inquiry would focus on business deals involving Biden and his son, Hunter.
