It’s been more than a month since House Republicans made history by impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. His GOP detractors couldn’t find any evidence of him committing high crimes, but they nevertheless made Mayorkas the first sitting cabinet secretary in American history to impeached. And then, nothing happened.
When Democrats explained that the delay in sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate was part of a brazen public-relations strategy, the GOP said it didn’t care. And now that the matter has finally arrived at the upper chamber, where the Democratic majority intends to wrap this up quickly so that members can focus on real work, the GOP is once again saying it still doesn’t care.
