House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) says he is open to the possibility of impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, as millions of illegal aliens cross the border.

During a Breitbart interview, Emmer pointed out that there has been an absence of oversight of the current government. Further, there is a “double standard” when it comes to holding Biden and former President Donald Trump accountable for “breaches of public trust, and maybe more.”

Biden and Mayorkas “haven’t taken steps to secure” the southern border. “It shouldn’t have been lost on anybody that Joe Biden doesn’t make one visit to the southern border until a new Republican majority is literally taking over in the House in Washington, D.C. Then, he mysteriously suddenly finds religion and goes down to the border,” he said.

“I’ll let the committee process do its work, but if the case is built, I would imagine that once that case is built, if it rises to the level of an impeachable malfeasance or misfeasance, high crimes, and misdemeanors, yeah, it’ll come to the floor.”

President Biden visited the southern border for the first time during his presidency only on Jan. 8.

Good for him. If DOJ or the FBI don't cooperate in any investigations cut their funding next year.

Play hard ball for once, make sure all govt agencies understand funding will not only be based on the need they fill for the American people, but also on how they cooperate with the representatives of the American people.
