RINO Who Voted Against Mayorkas Impeachment Told to Expect a Primary Challenger

A RINO congressman who voted against impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has been told that he may face a primary as a consequence of his vote.

This from westernjournal.com.

According to The Washington Post:

On Tuesday night, House Republicans failed in their attempt to impeach Mayorkas, with 214 votes to support impeachment and 216 against. [RINO] Reps. Blake Moore of Utah, Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, Tom McClintock of California, and Ken Buck of Colorado voted with the Left.

Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA posted on X:

Mike Gallagher’s political career should be over. We will work with the patriots in Wisconsin’s 8th district to primary him. Just like Lankford, we have no room for these people who cover for traitors like Mayorkas.

Kirk’s post references RINO Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma, who was one of the Senate Republicans who had a hand in negotiating a border security bill Republicans have rejected.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Gallagher said in a statement:

Secretary Mayorkas has faithfully implemented…Biden’s open border policies and helped create the dangerous crisis at the southern border.

Further:

But the proponents of impeachment failed to make the argument as to how his stunning incompetence meets the impeachment threshold Republicans outlined while defending former President Trump.

But many were outraged at Gallagher and vented on social media.

In an Op-Ed published in the Wall Street Journal, Gallagher said:

[Mayorkas has been a] disgrace [in his job].

Further:

 [I]ncompetence doesn’t rise to the level of high crimes or misdemeanors.

And:

I disagree with my Republican colleagues who voted on Tuesday to impeach Mr. Mayorkas. Impeachment not only would fail to resolve Mr. Biden’s border crisis but would also set a dangerous new precedent that would be used against future Republican administrations.

Gallagher argued that:

[E]ven if Mayorkas was removed, Joe Biden would name a replacement to implement [his] policies just as Mayorkas has.

Further:

Republicans should learn from and not emulate the mistakes made under the leadership of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the impeachment efforts against…President Donald Trump.

Gallagher wrote:

It was a rushed, hyperpartisan process that lowered the bar for what constitutes an impeachable offense. Republicans rightly railed against this effort and the dangers of a single-party impeachment, impeachment for unpopular decisions, impeachment for non-criminal acts, and impeachment for not complying with congressional subpoenas.

And:

Republicans should reject the Pelosi precedent. Creating a new, lower standard for impeachment, one without any clear limiting principle, wouldn’t secure the border or hold Mr. Biden accountable. It would only pry open the Pandora’s box of perpetual impeachment.

Final thoughts: Gallagher is whining and grabbing for Life Support. He’s been compromised and he’s been outed. Now, he’s useless to his constituency and to the House.

Further: Conservatism must not think of this failure to get the Mayorkas impeachment vote or these dufuses who voted ‘No’ as negatives. In actuality, these ‘No’ voters will be primaried and a valuable lesson will be sent for all to swallow.

Congress must be sent another lesson—We the People are not concerned with the semantics of what is and is not a ‘good impeachment.’ Our nation is on the edge of collapse.
