JOHNSON ON MAYORKAS: 'One of the Worst Cabinet Secretaries in the History of the Country' [Watch]

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson sat down with Newsmax Monday night to discuss the impeachment of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas; the evidence is “complete’ Johnson says.

“Next to a declaration of war, impeachment is arguably one of the heaviest powers that the House has,” Johnson told “The Record With Greta Van Susteren.” “We have to do it in the right manner. But the evidence that’s built up against Mayorkas is so complete. “I think he’s probably one of the worst cabinet secretaries on the evidence, objectively speaking, in the history of the country. He’s opened the border [with] intentional policy decisions and all the terrible societal ills that come from that.”

“… I understand the angst of our members, I share it myself, and the American people really want something done on that border, and this is an important gesture.”

“Under the House Republican leadership, what we’ve done is the way it’s supposed to be done,” Johnson said. “It’s a slow, deliberate process where you uncover the evidence, and then you follow the truth where it leads, and that’s what we’ve done.”

On Monday night, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene made an effort to impeach Mayorkas but fell short of locking down the necessary votes.

“To the 8 Republicans who voted with Dems to kill the impeachment of Mayorkas: How many more Americans have to die while you claim impeachment has to be done the ‘right way?’ My articles have been rotting in committee and now go back on the shelf. Your excuses are pathetic!”

My articles have been rotting in committee and now go back on the shelf.

Your excuses are pathetic!
