Eight republicans save Mayorkas from being impeached

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

"The eight Republicans who sided with the Democrats are Reps. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), Tom McClintock (R-Calif.), Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), John Duarte, (R-Calif.), Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), Cliff Bentz (R-Ore.), and Mike Turner (R-Ohio). The final vote was 209-201 against impeachment. Twenty-four members, evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, didn’t vote."

But as @GatorTheo tells us, do NOT call them RINOs. Especially not when they go to DC and vote just like democrats do.

Buck is a POS. Not surprised at all.

I don't care if you call them rinos. In fact, it's kind of funny.

Why did they want to impeach the guy?

Why did they want to impeach the guy?

Don't get a lot of news out on the front porch, do you?

 

[GatorTheo]

Don't get a lot of news out on the front porch, do you?

You don't know the reason either?

 

[NavigatorII]

Seriously Theo, do you even read the news? 😂

Mostly here.

It's a LOT more entertaining.

This is a guy that will argue how an inanimate object is the reason we have gun violence..yet to this day...has NEVER brought ANY evidence to support his stance.

Blissfully ignorant. That's why he falls for propaganda like 'arrest the guns, stop gun violence'.

Perfect example of how a Rino is more dangerous than a dem. You now have 8 pubs, voting with dems…and dems can now say see, even pubs agree with us.

Trojan horse, shifting of the party. A dem can’t do that, but an R voting as a dem, can.

Vote every one of the out! ASAP!

POS vermin is jonesing for a Job at CNN or MSDNC and has gone full RINO

 

[ghost_of_ukalum1988]

I learned in another X thread (which I can’t find at the moment) that my congressman (Larry Buschon) was one of 11 GOP congressmen who didn’t vote on the Mayorkas impeachment resolution. I’ve contacted his office requesting an explanation as to why he didn’t vote. My expectations for a satisfactory explanation are low….. imagine that LOL.

I thought the same thing. Sometimes though, you have to do the right thing out of principle. It would have gone nowhere, but would send a message.

You could have done both. Vote to impeach him knowing it was going nowhere while continuing to investigate him so you can impeach him later.

Of course he killed it. If the Senate was always going to block the impeachment, which is likely correct, then how does holding hearings THEN recommending impeachment and kicking it to the Senate make things any better?

The case has already been made. This is about a RINO being a RINO then trying to talk his way out of it.

Most likely.

But the "procedural concerns" excuse is one I keep hearing, and wanted to share if from the horse's mouth.

The only logic this makes to me is the impeachment is DOA one way or the other, it's symbolic. So having hearings may actually do more damage than two impeachment votes and the Senate killing it...leading dems to say "see, he did nothing wrong".

He should have been impeached over a year ago. Do it and make the Senate explain why they saved him.

Instead, this guy in the House has to answer those questions.
