Voters back Marjorie Taylor Greene’s impeachment of Mayorkas

Most voters approve of efforts in Congress to impeach embattled Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, giving a big boost to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) effort to push him out.

By a margin of 55%-33%, likely voters want the Homeland Security secretary out. The margin is even wider for those who feel he’s bad at his job of protecting the border and stopping illegal crossers, deadly drugs, and child traffickers, 64%-29%.

In comments to Secrets, Greene said the poll results demonstrate not only public support for her bid to impeach Mayorkas but also for Congress to stop slow-walking her effort.

“Republicans were elected to a House majority because the American people are sick and tired of no one in Washington being held accountable for destroying our country,” she said.

“Fifty-five percent of Americans support impeaching Mayorkas, but our GOP conference refuses to do a damn thing. Their excuse? It needs to go through ‘proper procedure.’ But four of the eight who voted against my impeachment resolution sit on the Judiciary Committee, where the articles sit on the shelf collecting dust,” Greene said.

“The American people want us to do the job we were sent to do. Impeaching Mayorkas isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s a popular thing to do! If voters can’t trust us to protect our country by punishing those who allow our border to be invaded, then how can we expect to win in 2024? The GOP-led House must impeach Mayorkas immediately, and that’s why I’ll be reintroducing my privileged resolution to do just that,” she revealed.

The Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets on Tuesday found bipartisan support for impeaching the longtime Homeland Security official.

For example, Democrats split 43%-43% on impeachment, hardly an endorsement of President Joe Biden’s top Homeland Security adviser.

When asked their opinion of how Mayorkas has protected the border, 45% of Democrats approved, but 46% didn’t.

The border is not just an albatross for the administration. It is becoming a key reelection matter for Biden, who has rarely visited the border or addressed the crisis.
