Dem Raskin Brutally Mocks ‘Trump-MAGA’ Faction Over Impeachment — Zings MTG Over ‘In-DICK-table’ Gaffe

 

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) tore into former President Donald Trump and his “MAGA faction” in the House — and zinged Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) over a recent gaffe — in a blistering floor speech about impeaching DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and President Joe Biden.

Greene recently earned mockery with a rather phallic mispronunciation of the word “indictable,” which she referred to as “in-DICK-table” during a hearing last week.

In a floor speech during the debate over the soon-to-fail impeachment of the DHS secretary, Raskin mocked Greene, as well as the Mayorkas impeachment, and the “madcap wild goose chase” over Hunter Biden’s business dealings:

REP. JAMIE RASKIN: Thank you, Madam Speaker. Mr. Chairman, we’re here because the madcap wild goose chase to impeach Joe Biden has produced no wild geese. Even Fox News is lampooning the fact that their own expert witnesses repeatedly say President Biden did nothing wrong and there are no grounds for impeachment.

More than a dozen GOP members in Biden majority districts don’t want to go anywhere near that fantasy production.

So the Trump Putin MAGA faction, headed up by the distinguished gentle lady from Georgia, has been given this worthless trinket of a consolation prize: the opportunity to bring this slapstick impeachment drive against a cabinet member of unimpeachable integrity who is obviously committed no treason, no bribery, no high crimes, no misdemeanors, nothing indictable, or even in-DICK-table, if you prefer.

What makes this farce a tragedy is that, Secretary Mayorkas and the U.S. Senate. Have been working for months to achieve precisely the immigration and border compromise the GOP has been demanding. And miraculously, they got to a bipartisan immigration agreement for billions of dollars more in Border Patrol officers, immigration judges, fentanyl detection machines, a far tougher border.

It was good enough for Senator Mitch McConnell and dozens of GOP senators, and it was good enough for the Wall Street Journal. But the House MAGAs would not take yes for an answer.

Why? Because Donald Trump doesn’t want a border solution. He wants a border problem, nothing else to run on. And Vladimir Putin certainly doesn’t want $60 billion going to the heroic people of Ukraine, defying his filthy imperialist invasion.

All over the world, democracy and freedom are under siege today, and all our colleagues can think to do is to sell out our democratic allies and sell out the cause of human rights, and then impeach a cabinet secretary working diligently to solve the immigration problem that they claim to care about. I yield back.
