The House on Tuesday failed to pass a Republican-led resolution to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the southern border.
Moments before, when House Republicans thought they had eked out the impeachment vote – despite the defiance of three of their members – Democratic Rep. Al Green, of Texas rolled in to the chamber in a wheelchair in hospital scrubs.
During the Mayorkas drama, Rep. Blake Moore, R-Utah, filed a motion to reconsider immediately after the vote failed, allowing it to be taken up again. It is likely to be scheduled when Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who is receiving cancer treatment, is able to attend.
So it’s basically a battle of who can get out of hospital the fastest? What a functional democracy.
Stunning? Really? Who expected this to go well?
I am completely surprised that any GOP congress critters broke from the party line and voted against impeachment for reasonable reasons like a lack of any reason to impeach.
