The Spin
Democratic narrative
A bipartisan vote to impeach Mayorkas already failed, showing that both parties reject this baseless GOP witchhunt. There is no reason Mayorkas should be impeached and all efforts to do so are a gross waste of time and taxpayer money. Many more important homeland security issues could benefit from the attention that this stunt is getting.
Republican narrative
There is a crisis occurring at the United State's southern border. Mayorkas has failed to deal with this and uphold his oath of office, and he should be held accountable for that. As Secretary of Homeland Security, Mayorkas' flawed decision-making and refusal to enforce laws passed by Congress caused the immigration situation in the US to grow out of control. There must be accountability.
