HARRISBURG, Pa. — When Pennsylvania Republicans announced they were introducing articles of impeachment against Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner on Wednesday, they said the crime situation in the city had gotten so dire, they couldn’t wait any longer to act.
Asked if the unprecedented move had anything to do with the midterm election in 13 days — when every seat in the House will be on ballots — Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff, a Centre Republican, was unequivocal.
“Our caucus has been consistently concerned about crime, regardless of where it occurs,” he said. “It has nothing to do with the elections.”
