[KARAH RUCKER]
A HOUSE REPUBLICAN HAS FILED ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST VICE PRESIDENT – AND NOW PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE – KAMALA HARRIS.
TENNESSEE CONGRESSMAN ANDY OGLES HAS FILED 2 ARTICLES –
ONE ACCUSING HARRIS OF REFUSING TO UPHOLD U.S. IMMIGRATION LAW –
AND THE **OTHER FOR BREACHING PUBLIC TRUST –
OVER WHAT HE CALLS “MISLEADING AMERICANS BY HIDING THE TRUTH ABOUT PRESIDENT BIDEN’S PHYSICAL AND COGNITIVE WELL-BEING.”
IT ALIGNS WITH GROWING REPUBLICAN SENTIMENT THAT HARRIS KNEW BIDEN’S MENTAL STATE WAS ALLEGEDLY IN DECLINE WELL BEFORE THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE WHICH THREW BIDEN’S COGNITIVE HEALTH INTO THE SPOTLIGHT.
THERE ARE NOW DEMANDS FROM REPUBLICANS FOR HARRIS AND THE CABINET TO INVOKE THE 25TH AMENDMENT TO REMOVE BIDEN FROM OFFICE.
THE OTHER ARTICLE OF IMPEACHMENT CENTERS ON HER HANDLING OF THE BORDER CRISIS.
EARLY ON IN HIS ADMINISTRATION – PRESIDENT BIDEN APPOINTED HARRIS TO DEAL WITH THE “ROOT CAUSES” OF IMMIGRATION.
IN THE MONTHS TO FOLLOW – RECORD MIGRANT CROSSINGS WERE RECORDED.
REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE ALSO FILED ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT ON SIMILAR GROUNDS AGAINST DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS EARLIER THIS YEAR –
SUCCESSFULLY IMPEACHING HIM OVER HIS HANDLING OF THE BORDER.
HOWEVER – THE ARTICLES WERE DISMISSED IN THE SENATE SO THERE WAS NO TRIAL.
HARRIS IS IN THE HOT SEAT – NOW AS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE – REPUBLICANS ARE EYEING HER CLOSELY.
SEPARATE FROM THESE LATEST IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES FILED AGAINST HER –
THE HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE ADVANCED A RESOLUTION BY NEW YORK CONGRESSWOMAN ELISE STEFANIK THAT WOULD ALSO CONDEMN HARRIS OVER THE LACK OF IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATION.
A VOTE ON THAT RESOLUTION IS EXPECTED THIS WEEK.
THE WHITE HOUSE REFUTED THE CLAIMS MADE– BLAMING REPUBLICANS FOR THE LACK OF CONGRESSIONAL ACTION AT THE BORDER AND BLOCKING A BIPARTISAN IMMIGRATION REFORM PACKAGE..
