Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher is facing intense criticism from Republicans in his district and around the state following his vote this week against impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — with some on the right flank of his party calling for a primary challenge.
Gallagher joined three other House Republicans and every Democrat Tuesday evening in voting against impeaching Mayorkas for his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. He argued that Mayorkas' performance has been a "disgrace" but that Mayorkas' actions have not risen to the level of crimes necessary for impeachment.
He warned that impeaching a cabinet official could set a precedent for future administrations.
That decision drew swift criticism. One county GOP chairman in the Green Bay Republican's 8th Congressional District sent a letter to other county chairs disavowing Gallagher. Conservative talk radio hosts on Wednesday ridiculed his explanation. And some prominent Republicans have suggested Gallagher should face a primary challenge.
"I can no longer tolerate nor support someone who will not follow his constitutional duties and the wishes of his constituents," Oconto County GOP chairman Ken Sikora wrote in a letter to other county chairs in Gallagher's district. "I am calling on all District 8 Chairs to unite and condemn this betrayal."

Johnson should isolate them. Take them off of any committees and freeze out any legislation they might propose. Make this public.
This is why I no longer give funds to Republicans. They whine and complain but cave when given an opportunity to correct a situation. Even now, as we are told they control the purse, the spigot of deficit spending has not been cut off. Thankfully my own representative, Byron Donalds, is a reliable conservative but the rest have proven to be untrustworthy.
I was thinking that also. Someone has to prove it's going on, then try and execute the perps causing that for treason.
Sorry, Mike, but that is specious logic. The Democratic/Communists do not care about precedent and will crush any
Republican cabinet member who strays past what they will tolerate.
Think AG Sessions - you know he got "the word" from the Nancy to back-off, or else..
“I can no longer tolerate nor support someone who will not follow his constitutional duties and the wishes of his constituents,”
That is the bottom line. Those pols are in it for Old Number One. They don’t represent their constituents, and have no intention of doing so.

Wisconsin will prevail.
A Heaping Helping of Tar and Feathers is called for.
VOTE THIS RINO OUT.
Didn’t take much to show who’s corrupt Mayorkas impeachment
