GOP split on Biden impeachment as far-right faction rolls full steam ahead

Raw Story  

Republicans view an impeachment of homeland security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as the first step to removing President Joe Biden, but not all of them share the same degree of enthusiasm. “We’re supposed to impeach on high crimes and misdemeanors,” said Rep. Don Bacon, who has said he's opposed to impeaching Mayorkas over border policy disagreements and told the newspaper he's "not really" inclined to do the same to Biden. Rep. Lauren Boebert forced a vote last month demanding an investigation into Biden for “intentionally" facilitating "a complete and total invasion at the southern border," as her resolution put it, while making no mention of Mayorkas, who was the subject of a 55-page report filed by the House Homeland Security Committee seen as the first step toward impeachment. “We’ve been looking into the complete failures, the Biden administration’s complete failures at the southwest border,” said that committee's chairman, Rep. Mark Green, who added that his panel will also look at Biden's personal actions.
