Biggs rolls out new articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Mayorkas

Source: ABC News

Arizona Republican Rep. Andy Biggs on Wednesday rolled out new impeachment articles against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, saying the top Biden administration official has "violated his oath of office, wreaking havoc on this country and he must be impeached."

"He must be impeached because he is a public official who has lost public trust and is an imminent threat to the United States of America," Biggs said at a Capitol Hill news conference.

Biggs, who previously introduced articles in 2021, said he would be filing the articles while standing alongside fellow conservative GOP members, including Reps. Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Bob Good and others. The presser began as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's first in-person meeting with President Joe Biden since winning the gavel was slated to begin.

"Secretary Mayorkas has failed to faithfully uphold his oath and has instead presided over a reckless abandonment of border security and immigration enforcement, the expense of the Constitution and the security of the United States," the articles read.

Two years of kabuki theater. Oh and Biggs was one of those asking Trump for a pardon.

Wait until they try to gather "evidence" for their impeachment inquiry, then present the articles to the House and Senate. I doubt any will pass the House, and if any do, they'll likely be laughed at even by Senate Republicans.

Mayorkas is just their warmup.

That the honorable mr Biggs has conservative values and he is not a statesman. And he doesn’t know how to lead or govern or manage money.

I wait with baited breath for secretary Mayorkas to also ask for a pardon. That would be really fuckin strange wouldn’t it, since unlike Biggs, Mr Mayorkas doesn’t need a pardon. Maybe President Santos can handle that for ya andy. Or maybe Barney fife could give you a pardon.

So now mr Biggs, since this clown act is over what’s next in your governance quiver?

it's all about being able to use his name for fund-raising. Never mind that he's of Cuban heritage. Most of the MAGA crowd doesn't know the difference. They will claim it's all Mexico.

1) It is doubtful that this will pass the House it will only take a few Rs to not vote or vote against
this nonsense to kill it.

2) It has no chance in the Senate

3) The border problems are not the fault of Joe Biden or his administration they have to do
with conditions in Central and South America that drive people from their homes. Gang
violence, corruption, drugs, climate change, hunger, and poverty are the driving factors
and until those problems we will always have "a border problem."

BTW in my own twisted mind most of the people coming up from south of the border are more
"American" the most Americans because they are Mestizos aka they have indigenous blood.

*****



Fucking Clown Car Idiots ... so Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is responsible for gang violence
in Honduras that is making people flee their homeland.

Take a vote. If the GQP holds together, he's Impeached and the Senate gets to waste it's time watching the GQP present its case.
