Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas became the first sitting cabinet secretary in more than 150 years to be impeached after the GOP-led House passed an impeachment resolution against him on Tuesday night and some Republican lawmakers are calling for an expansion of the impeachment case against President Biden to cover the border.
“I hope we’ll impeach Secretary Mayorkas tonight, but the buck stops with Joe Biden,” Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., said on the John Solomon Reports podcast on Tuesday. “All of the reasons that you’re impeaching Secretary Mayorkas are doubly important to impeaching Joe Biden.”
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., chairman of the House Oversight Committee, agreed with Banks.
“I think that’s certainly something that should be considered, look, this has just spiraled out of control,” he said.
