Expressing Concern on Social Media
While Republican committee members continued their assault against Alejandro Mayorkas, Democratic Representative Jackson Lee took to social media to express her stance on the matter. In a tweet, she emphasized that “impeachment is not meant as a tool to be used for revenge” and used the hashtag #RevengeImpeachment.
Critical Remarks During Impeachment Hearing
During the impeachment hearing, Jackson Lee expressed her concerns regarding the accusations against Mayorkas. She stated that they were being deceived and that the American people understand that the actions taken were not for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. She highlighted Mayorkas’ background as the first immigrant to serve as head of the Department of Homeland Security and emphasized that his freedom is based upon the Constitution.
Harsh Criticism and Responses
Jackson Lee faced harsh criticism from individuals such as Aaron Ray Hermes, a Texas Republican candidate, who questioned her perspective on protecting the country. Others reminded Jackson Lee of the Democratic Party’s use of impeachment as revenge against former President Trump.
Support for Mayorkas and Accusations Against Republicans
Despite the criticism, Jackson Lee and other Democrats have shown support for Mayorkas in the face of impeachment efforts. They released a comprehensive report accusing the Republican majority of abusing the impeachment process, running a “sham” process, and sabotaging Mayorkas’ efforts to manage the border crisis.
