The Spin

Republican narrative

Under Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas, the US has been faced with an unprecedented surge of illegal migration that has been intentionally enabled by the White House. America cannot continue to allow this untenable wave of migration for political reasons, and Republicans must do everything possible to shut down the border — that starts with removing Mayorkas.

Democratic narrative

Like most Republican stunts, the impeachment of Alejandro Mayorkas quickly failed in the Senate as even GOP lawmakers couldn’t hide the unserious nature of the proceedings. It is important to remember how radical these charges are, as Republicans sought to impeach a cabinet secretary for the first time in 150 years without any accusations of a high crime or misdemeanor.
