Of course, the best part of this tweet is Sen. Chris Coons using the word “literally.” We guess what he’s saying is calling Joe and Hunter Biden to testify before Congress would be … destructive? Dangerous? Fun to watch from a safe distance?

The Daily Beast’s Sam Stein reported Wednesday night that Senate Democrats are warning the Republicans not to mess with the Bidens.

NEW — Senate Dems warn GOP against hauling the Bidens in to testify: it "would be literally rolling a grenade down the aisle of the Senate” https://t.co/4NSUaufnEB W/ @sambrodey — Sam Stein (@samstein) November 7, 2019

Grenades away. — Prof Dami Moriarty (@DeckerDI) November 7, 2019

The hand grenade had already been thrown when the DNC co-opted unelected government officials to interfere with a presidential campaign. — Michelle Buffington (@Rainydays007) November 7, 2019

Let's do it and see what happens. I'd like, and I don't think I'm alone, to know the truth. It seems the actual truth would be very destructive to a lot of powerful people. — Superfly TNT (@Jcace) November 7, 2019

If and when the Senate discusses impeachment, I think it would totally appropriate for Joe & Hunter Biden to be asked to testify. They're central to the whole issue. — John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) November 7, 2019

That’s the beauty of it all — there’s no way to focus an impeachment inquiry on Ukraine and not involve the Bidens.
