White House taunts Johnson over Mayorkas impeachment failure
The White House Slams House Republicans’ Impeachment Effort Against Homeland Security Secretary
The White House is making it clear that Republicans have joined forces with Democrats to temporarily halt the House GOP’s push to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the border crisis. In a statement, Ian Sams, the White House’s spokesman for oversight and investigations, emphasizes the bipartisan agreement that the impeachment effort is baseless, unconstitutional, and doomed to fail.
Sams goes on to criticize House Republicans for wasting time on extreme political stunts instead of working with President Biden, Secretary Mayorkas, and both Republicans and Democrats who are committed to finding real solutions that strengthen border security.
The statement comes after House Republicans mishandled a floor vote on Mayorkas’s articles of impeachment, resulting in a narrow defeat. Sams expresses his disappointment and embarrassment for House Republicans, who are pushing for an impeachment that even conservative lawyers and scholars deem unconstitutional.
Rep. Ken Buck, one of the Republican defectors, reveals that another impeachment vote is expected the following morning. However, the timetable is not confirmed by House Speaker Mike Johnson’s spokesperson, Raj Shah.
Despite the setback, House Republicans remain determined to bring the Articles of Impeachment against Secretary Mayorkas back to the floor once they have enough votes for passage.
The impeachment campaign coincides with the collapse of a bipartisan border security measure in the Senate, which was influenced by former President Donald Trump’s pressure on Republicans not to support it before the upcoming election.
