Of course, this tweet came smack-dab in the middle of of an impeachment inquiry stemming from the president's urging of a Ukrainian investigation into Hunter Biden's business deals in Ukraine while his father, Joe Biden, was vice president.
Eric previously called on Democrats to launch their own investigation into the "alleged Biden family corruption," and decried the "double standard" between the treatment of Hunter Biden and the Trump siblings as "disgusting."
