Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is calling on President Joe Biden to halt the impeachment of former President Donald Trump for the country’s unity.

Paul said that the impeachment is not a step toward bringing the nation together. “I don’t know what he’s smoking, because really, he’s just going to divide the country further,” he told Fox News, The Epoch Times reported.

The senator added that if Biden is true to his words he would urge his party to cease the impeachment. 

“If he wanted to rise above the occasion, he’d be calling Chuck Schumer and publicly saying what’s at stake and [that it] will further divide the country,” Paul said. “That would be a real statement, that would be a real big thing to do.”

Asked if Biden would make the call, Paul conceded, “I don’t suspect he will,” and that Biden’s speech was “merely words.”

“Also, if you read his speech and listen to it carefully, much of it is thinly veiled innuendo, calling us white supremacists, calling us racist, calling us every name in the book, calling us people who don’t tell the truth,” he added.

“The impeachment will cause 75 million people to be very, very unhappy if they do this partisan impeachment,” Paul continued.
