Becker Wants DeWine Removed

Gov., DeWine should be impeached over his handling of the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. Cincinnati Rep. John Becker, a conservative GOP House lawmaker, says he has drafted 10 articles of impeachment against the first-term governor, in an effort currently backed by two other conservative House lawmakers. Becker accuses DeWine of improperly shutting down the March presidential primary, arbitrarily ordering some businesses closed while allowing others to remain open, failing to anticipate record unemployment claims, and instituting an unpopular statewide mask mandate. So far, only a couple of other lawmakers, all conservative, are taking Becker’s lead in this.
