The Spin

Republican narrative

Democrats are disgraceful for even suggesting they'll skip trial and dismiss Mayorkas' impeachment articles. It's unconstitutional to keep a man in power who knowingly abused his authority and it's the responsibility of Congress to hold him responsible.

Democratic narrative

Republicans have no grounds for this impeachment and instead are targeting Mayorkas for political reasons. The southern border requires better management, so it's ridiculous to remove the man in charge of it at this time. Mayorkas will survive this kangaroo court, but Republicans have stained Congress' reputation.
