Chairman Green: Secretary Mayorkas is the very type of public official the framers feared. Someone who would cast aside the laws passed by a coequal branch of government, replacing those with his own preferences, hurting his fellow Americans in the process.
Chairman Green: Today we will mark up two articles of impeachment [Mayorkas], Wilful and Systemic Refusal to Comply with The Law, and Breach of The Public Trust.
Thompson: House Republicans take their marching orders from Donald Trump. Who has directed them to reject a bipartisan border bill,and who has republican governors to defy a United States Supreme Court Order, ensuring the Border Patrol can do it's jobโฆthe impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas is designed to distract the public from the fact that republicans have ceded their power to Donald Trump.
Goldman: We're here based on two completely fabricated, unsupported, and never used before, articles of impeachment. This is completely debasing and demeaning the Impeachment Clause of the United States Constitution, and it is a gross, gross injustice to the credibility to this institution.
[Goldman PANIC]
Goldman: The real reason we are here, as we all know, is Donald Trump wants to run on immigration as his number one issue in the November, 2024 election.
