Within minutes of Joe Biden’s Sunday withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, Democrats were already anointing Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement.
This was undoubtedly a dream come true for someone like Harris, who failed miserably to garner virtually any support whatsoever in her only previous run for president.
Unfortunately for Harris, however, this dream has quickly turned into a nightmare. On Wednesday morning, a House Republican lawmaker announced that he’s filing articles of impeachment against Harris.
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) has decided to take this action for two reasons: first, Harris’ mishandling of the border crisis, and second, what he believes is her coverup of Biden’s mental decline.
These impeachment articles will undoubtedly be enough to bring Harris crashing down to earth after days of riding the high of potentially being the Democratic presidential nominee.
From Fox News:
Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., is accusing Harris of breaching public trust and of willfully refusing to uphold U.S. immigration law in two impeachment articles, obtained by Fox News Digital.The former article on public trust accused Harris of having “knowingly misled the people of the United States and the Congress of the United States, principally to obfuscate the physical and cognitive well-being of the President of the United States, Joe Biden.”
This comes as an increasing number of Republicans are demanding answers over just how much Harris and other top officials knew about Biden’s alleged cognitive decline. For years, they claimed that there was absolutely nothing wrong with Biden. They whined that any rumors about his alleged mental failings were simply rightwing conspiracy theories.
In the wake of last month’s horrendous presidential debate, however, it became clear to even the most devoted of liberals that there is indeed something wrong with Biden mentally. His decline has become so obvious that it’s virtually impossible to believe that Harris and other members of his administration were unaware of it. If this can be proven, Harris and her fellow Biden officials must be held accountable.
Biden’s Border Crisis Fail
Then there’s Harris’ egregious mishandling of the border crisis. One of the few tasks that Biden actually gave Harris early in his presidency was that of becoming his “border czar.”
While Harris travelled to central America to try and figure out the “root cause” of the border crisis, countless migrants continued to surge into this country illegally. The border crisis has only gotten worse in the years since. This shows that Harris effectively did nothing of value to fix it.
More from Fox News:
“Kamala Devi Harris has demonstrated extraordinary incompetence in the execution of her duties and responsibilities, a stark refusal to uphold the existing immigration law, and a palpable indifference to people of the United States suffering as a result of the ongoing southern border crisis in the United States,” the impeachment articles state.“During her tenure as the designated border czar, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency ‘encountered’ nearly 302,000 illegal aliens at the southwest border in December 2023, the highest monthly total ever recorded and representing 4 consecutive months of over 240,000 illegal alien ‘encounters.'”
It’s unclear where exactly these articles of impeachment will go. Nevertheless, they do send a clear message to Harris and those who support her. In the days since Biden dropped out, Democrats and the mainstream media have deified Harris. They’ve behaved as if she is the highest qualified candidate to ever run for president.
These articles of impeachment, however, show that Harris is anything but that. They remind Americans about Harris’ many failings that have led to her being one of the least popular vice presidents of all time.
The truth about Harris needs to be exposed to the world. Here’s hoping that these impeachment articles continue to do just that!
Key Takeaways:
- Harris hit with articles of impeachment.
- Harris called out for mishandling border crisis.
- Harris accused of covering up Biden’s cognitive decline.
