Chip Roy Joins MTG in Demanding Biden Impeachment and Cites Border Crisis as Reason

U.S. House Rep Chip Roy (R-TX) has become the second Republican in Congress to demand that President Joe Biden be impeached, joining U.S. House Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who has done so multiple times.

Roy took it a step further and also called for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and cited the border crisis as the reason to eject the two from public service.

In an interview with Fox News, Roy explained, “Over the past several months, President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas have blatantly and consistently refused to do their constitutional duty to take care that the immigration laws be faithfully executed, as required by Article II, endangering countless American and foreign lives in the process.”

In a Twitter thread, Roy gave the numbers at the southern border through July and noted that “1.3 million for FY 21 so far” is the “largest monthly encounter number since 2000” and that the “Total is bigger than every full-year total since FY21.”

Newsmax’s Jesse Kelly retweeted Roy and declared, “What Joe Biden is doing at our border is impeachable. It’s more impeachable than Watergate. This is an attack on the sovereignty of America and it’s coming from the Oval Office. Republicans should move to impeach after 2022.”

Roy responded to Kelly and said, “Co-sponsor. #ImpeachBiden #ImpeachMayorkas.”

In an interview with Newsmax, Roy stated that the crisis is “endangering Texans, endangering ranchers, endangering our country with opioids flowing in, and cartels having operational control. You’ve got thousands of immigrants who are in these horrible conditions and are risking their lives and are being abused by cartels.”

“We ought to impeach Mayorkas, we ought to consider impeaching President Biden. They are not faithfully executing the laws of the United States, they are doing it purposefully. They are endangering Americans, it’s enough,” Roy continued.

Roy said, exasperatedly, “The American people have had it, the Texans have had it, and they can all just go to hell. “I think we’re getting to a point right now where we ought to consider just shutting down the ports of entry, to send a loud signal to the United States that we’re not going to deal with this anymore. I think we need to go put our own manpower down at the border.”

Greene had a similar message in a tweet on Monday, renewing her calls yet again and noting that the surge was continuing amid Democrats’ domestic calls for renewed coronavirus restrictions.

“Biden and Harris have created a national security crisis & they are making you pay for it, while telling Americans they have to mask up, vaccinate, and prepare to lockdown again. #ImpeachBiden #BorderCrisis,” Greene asserted.
