Congressman Mark Green (R-TN), chair of the Homeland Security Committee, led the Mayorkas impeachment effort. With the impeachment succeeding — by a one vote margin (214-213) — Green announced he would not seek re-election because “Congress is broken.”
"Our country–and our Congress–is broken beyond most means of repair," the Tennessee Lookout reports Green as saying. "I have come to realize our fight is not here within Washington, our fight is with Washington. As I have done my entire life, I will continue serving this country — but in a new capacity."
Green, a physician, West Point graduate and uncanny stock trader who reportedly showed 122% gains on investments he made as a Congressman in 2023, did not immediately reveal what the “new capacity” will be.
He is right. The Mayorkas impeachment is just a symptom of the greater issue of a government that is literally at war with the American people. Despite the impeachment, there is no removing Mayorkas, just like there is no removing those at war with US citizens who are dying of drug overdoses from drugs flowing across the border at a rate of 200 people a day. Mayorkas may be a disgrace, as he lied about there being no border crisis for 3 years and all of a sudden claiming there is one now while blaming Trump for it, but he is just a cog in a very sick wheel.
