Taking a second bite at the apple, nihilist Republicans in the House succeeded in impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security, because Marjorie Taylor Greene is still angry about Donald Trump’s impeachments. Actually, the Republicans in the House, who have killed every bipartisan border security bill sent to them by the Senate in the last year, claim Mayorkas is failing to uphold his oath to protect the country; there is no claim that Mayorkas has committed a high crime or misdemeanor required by the Constitution for impeachment.
Marge will certainly use this as an applause line at the next Trump campaign rally, but it will die in the Senate. The final vote was 214 to 213 to impeach with three Republicans joining Democrats against the resolution. This was the second vote to impeach Mayorkas after one failed last week because Republicans can’t count.
