Dem busts Marjorie Taylor Greene at hearing for fundraising off of 'sham impeachment'

House Homeland Security Committee Ranking Member Bennie Thompson (D-MS) called out Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for fundraising off of the impeachment of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

At a hearing to consider Mayorkas' impeachment on Tuesday, Thompson accused Republicans of a political stunt.

"Republican members of Congress sworn to support and defend the Constitution are rejecting the framers' clear intent and over two centuries of precedent in favor of a sham impeachment," Thompson said. "The sham impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas is a baseless political stunt by extreme MAGA Republicans."

"Chairman Greene, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, and others have pushed for and even fundraised based on this pre-planned, predetermined scapegoating of the Secretary," he added.

"In a process akin to throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks, Republicans have cooked up vague, unprecedented grounds to impeach Secretary Mayorkas, refusal to follow the law, and a breach of public trust."
