Joe Biden says GOP targeted Alejandro Mayorkas for 'petty political games' but internet isn't having it

WASHINGTON, DC: President Biden slammed the 214 House Republicans who supported the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas saying, "history will not look kindly on them." 

In a statement issued by the White House, Biden praised Mayorkas' "integrity" and his "decorated" career in law enforcement and public service, labeling the two articles of impeachment brought against the DHS head as "baseless."

President Biden said in the statement, "History will not look kindly on House Republicans for their blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship that has targeted an honorable public servant in order to play petty political games."

He added, "From his time in the Justice Department as a US Attorney to his service as Deputy Secretary and now Secretary of Homeland Security, he has upheld the rule of law faithfully and has demonstrated a deep commitment to the values that make our nation great."

The president contended that GOP lawmakers would be better served by enacting laws that would provide his administration with "the tools and resources needed to address the situation at the border."

Joe Biden calls attempt to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas a 'political stunt' 

In the statement, Biden said, "This impeachment already failed once on a bipartisan vote. Instead of staging political stunts like this, Republicans with genuine concerns about the border should want Congress to deliver more border resources and stronger border security."

He added, "Sadly, the same Republicans pushing this baseless impeachment are rejecting bipartisan plans Secretary Mayorkas and others in my administration have worked hard on to strengthen border security at this very moment — reversing from years of their own demands to pass stronger border bills."

“Giving up on real solutions right when they are needed most in order to play politics is not what the American people expect from their leaders,” he further mentioned.

Another person added, "My patience is wearing thin with Biden" whereas one mentioned, "Oh so history will look at the crisis at the border as nothing? He's literally admitting it."

A person also mentioned, "Nothing screams "fiscal responsibility" quite like a political stunt that's destined to fail."

"Nothing screams 'fiscal responsibility' quite like a political stunt that's destined to fail. But let's give credit where credit is due. The Republicans managed to make history, alright. It's the first time a DHS chief has been impeached, and the first time a sitting president has had to deal with such a blatant display of political grandstanding. But hey, at least they can now say they did something, right?" a user wrote.
