GOP Sen. Murkowski: ‘Partisan’ Mayorkas impeachment a ‘detour’ from work
The Hill ^ | 01/31/2024 | ALEXANDER BOLTON

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) on Wednesday criticized the House impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as a partisan detour from Congress’s important work.

Asked about the merits of trying Mayorkas on impeachment charges in the Senate, Murkowski said lawmakers need to focus on funding the government instead.

“Oh my goodness. We’re busy, right? To have to take a detour from the important work that’s going on,” she said.

The Alaska senator, a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, cited an upcoming meeting on legislation to fund the government through 2024 and the need to fund national security needs in a defense supplemental.

Does that important work include facilitating an invasion of the country you supposedly represent?

It’s kabuki theater. In the end, even of Mayorkas is removed, the flood of illegals will continue.

The Senate DOES have more important things to do, but finding new ways to piss away taxpayer’s grandchildren’s money isn’t one of them.

I love it when radical Left Democrats show their colors.

Clinton-speak. Not surprising, considering the source.

The Repukes never have a problem with anything the Rats do. We’re busy trying to pass a BS law that Mayorkas wouldn’t follow anyways. Sheesh

"The DemocRATS OWN this piece of corrupt excrement."

She willingly does all the dirty deeds the rats don't want to do themselves. Like during Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing, during the break, she was photographed talking to Feinstein, and then when the hearing resumed, she voted with the Dems to have the FBI conduct yet another investigation into Kavanaugh. Her and Jeff Flake were a cringe-worthy duo on that committee.

"Well, if she means that the Senate will not convict and remove Mayorkas - where’s the lie?"

But the American people are worth at least the opportunity to hear the charges and evidence against him. They didn't convict Bill Clinton in the Senate either, but at least people got to hear the evidence brought against him.

It will be hard. Alaskans voted in that nonsensical RCV voting in a state referendum. (Note I was surprised when told it was a referendum. ) RCV is effectively a incumbent protection scheme. I figured it was done by the legislature to keep their butts in their seats. Apparently the good citizens did it to themselves!

Murkowski’s never met a democrat she didn’t want to let off the hook.

Murkowski is a detour from sanity.

How many U.S. Senators have ever done one minute of work in their entire lives? Maybe 5 or 6?

Republican party donors own her as well as about half of the Senate.

There must be zero tolerance for any Republican that won't secure the border unconditionally. Or the Republican party must die.
