House Republicans on Sunday released two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, one for “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” and and another for “breach of public trust,” even as many refuse to work with the Biden Administration and Senate Republicans on a border security package, ABC News reports.
“These articles lay out a clear, compelling, and irrefutable case for Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ impeachment,” said House Homeland Security Committee Chair Mark Green in a statement.
“This is where [Republicans] seek fame, rather than a fix. And what you’re going to find here is that if we were to solve this crisis, this committee wouldn’t have anything to talk about. And that’s more important to the Speaker of this House and that’s more important to the person that too many of them rely upon when they make decisions, which is the former president,” California Dem Eric Swalwell told The Hill in an earlier story about the politics of the border situation overall. The quote fits pretty nicely with this stupid impeachment effort and the markup hearing on Tuesday will give Democrats plenty of opportunity to hammer Republicans on refusing to work with them.
