The U.S. House of Representatives narrowly voted against impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas, the Jewish homeland security secretary, after a process that a number of Jewish groups and the White House said was marred by antisemitism.
The vote Tuesday evening was 216 against to 214 for impeachment, a stunning loss for House Speaker Mike Johnson, the Louisiana Republican. Four Republicans voted against impeachment in the narrowly-split chamber. Johnson had championed the impeachment even in the face of evidence that it might not pass.
Right-wing Republicans have been agitating for a year to impeach Mayorkas, who they say is neglecting the migrant influx at the U.S.-Mexico border to an extent that amounts to high crimes and misdemeanors — the constitutional standard for impeaching a public official. There has recently been a record number of migrants, more than 10,000 per day, crossing the southern border.
Jewish opponents of impeachment have also said the anti-Mayorkas rhetoric has echoed antisemitism. Seventeen Jewish groups released a statement Monday, ahead of the vote, saying the impeachment process could “further normalize dangerous antisemitic, white supremacist, and anti-immigrant conspiracy theories.”
The groups cited repeated allusions by Republicans to the “Great Replacement,” a theory that claims Jews are behind an effort to replace white Americans with immigrants of color.
“Attacks against Secretary Mayorkas have invoked the so-called ‘great replacement’ theory, which relies on dangerous antisemitic stereotypes in alleging a vast conspiracy to support an ‘invasion’ of immigrants, ‘replace’ white voters, and seize power in the United States, while also fueling anti-immigrant bigotry and white supremacy,” said a release accompanying the statement. The groups that signed the statement included HIAS, the main Jewish immigration advocacy and refugee aid group; the National Council of Jewish Women; the Jewish Council for Public Affairs; and arms of the Reform, Conservative and Reconstructionist religious movements.
The American Jewish Committee separately this week sent a letter to every House representative urging against impeachment, in part because of the rhetoric surrounding the debate.
I had no idea he was Jewish. Haven’t heard any anti Semitism directed towards him
The GOOBers need to get some testosterone tabs and man up. You can’t be sissy boys all your lives.
None Dare call it Treason.
Fkg unbelievable.
Nor I.
A scumbag is a scumbag, regardless of religion or ethnic background. This particular creep is a scumbag, and next week he will almost certainly be an IMPEACHED scumbag.
I didn’t know he was Jewish.
I just though he was the typical Whteness-hating Communist that is typical of the Western elite.
Jews whine more than faggots, blacks, and chicks combined.

Pretty good representation for 2% of the population.
Do you remember all those hearings on Ivy League schools about white discrimination?
Neither do I.
Got it.
In 1970, and for the previous 113 years, SJSU was like 85% White.
Now the numbers are reversed.
But it's all a conspiracy theory.
Fkg believable.
That’s because it’s a canard for cowards.
He’s a Jew-Ban. A lot of Jews lived in Cuba before Castro.
When did Mayorkass get a kiss me, I’m Jewish T-shirt? I’ve got to call BS on that. I might be an antisemite, but that bass turd Mayorkass is a far-left, racist turd roller changing the demographics of the United States into a bunch of former Marxist turd rollers looking for a free ride after their own Marxist sh*thole failed.
It’s very difficult to get people with testosterone elected in a feminized culture such as ours. John Wayne or Charles Bronson would never make it onto a ticket. So we have mostly sissies in office, reflecting the electorate.
They need to vote to impeach next week and turn MTG and the others loose. This both punishes Mayorkis and keeps this epic Biden open border failure front and center.
I agree. And most of the supposed to be males vote with their other head and not the one on their shoulders. When it comes to voting, the man-bun, sissy boyz “I love Mommy” syndrome kicks in and they always go for the supposed to be females.
No it’s not. Not at all.
These Jews hate white Americans plain and simple.
“Born in Havana, Cuba, Mayorkas is the son of a Sephardic father whose family hailed from the former Ottoman Empire, what is today Turkey and Greece, and an Ashkenazi mother who escaped the Holocaust in Romania.” From the (Jewish) Forward, November 25, 2020
[Mayorkas] “recounts that growing up he always had a strong sense of his “identity as a refugee from Cuba; a very strong identity as a Cuban-American... as well as a member of the Hispanic community in the US, and a strong Jewish identity.” Jerusalem Post, November 26, 2016
This isn’t Stormfront.
