Johnson Votes to Impeach Mayorkas

Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his handling of the southern border.

“The southern border is an abject disaster,” said Johnson. “His willful and systemic refusal to comply with laws set by Congress has created a safety and security crisis around America. Mayorkas has failed to uphold his oath of office and should be removed.”

  1. Hon. Congressman Johnson, you seem to be pretty busy working on dog and pony show routines, but where will you stand when it comes to military aid to Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel?

        1. There’s still the option of a cloture vote. Just need 218 Representatives to sign on to it, so moderate Republicans and democrats could force it down the speakers throat. Granted it hasnt happened since 2015, but then again we are living in a clown show.

  3. He doesn’t want to get any of the Trump callout publicity so he gets in line on this pointless vote. Trump ordered this impeachment to discredit the process and make it appear that impeachment is all about politics. The difference is Trump actually broke the laws, if he didn’t, he wouldn’t be going to SCOTUS asking for immunity from all laws.

    I’ll be glad with the Trump era is over, this is just a last ditch effort of the toxic boomer generation to hold on to some type of power. Sorry, Boomers, you spent all your time insulting the generation below you and forgot they would some day grow up, you reap what you sow. Off to the the old folks home with you!

  5. “High crimes and misdemeanors….”

    I see DCs race to the bottom continues unabated. Way to give up on being one of the adults in the room, Dusty.
