Republicans skeptical the ‘case has been made’ to push Biden impeachment into reality

By Jack Birle | Denver Gazette As House Republicans move one step closer to impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, more members of the House GOP conference are skeptical about impeaching his boss. The House GOP has dedicated a significant portion of its current stint in control of the chamber exploring and hyping up impeaching President Joe Biden, but some within the conference still think the case has yet to be made to the public. “While I think that it’s pretty clear, I don’t know that the case has been made adequately to the American people,” Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) said, according to CNN. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DENVER GAZETTE

Neighbors of a Colorado CD3 candidate filed for a protective order in 2021

By The Lobby | The Lobby Neighbors of Republican candidate Russ Andrews, who is running for Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, filed for a protection order against him in 2021, according to court documents. The initial motion for a civil protection order stated that the complainants had endured ongoing noise issues from Andrews, including frequent cursing, yelling, and screaming. The neighbors had previously reported these incidents to their homeowners association. Tensions between Andrews and his neighbors reached a breaking point on October 7, 2021, when a verbal altercation prompted the neighbors to contact authorities. Court documents reveal that the protection order was sought after Andrews allegedly made threatening remarks towards his neighbors, causing them to fea...

Congressman: Why help Biden on border? Low approval will lead to ‘hogwash’ border plan

By Brady Knox | Colorado Springs Gazette Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) argued that Republicans shouldn't reach a deal with President Joe Biden on the border, claiming he's only using the deal to improve his own political position. Speaking with CNN, Nehls argued that Biden is only showing concern for the border due to his low approval numbers. “Do you believe if Joe Biden's approval rate was at 53%, we would even be talking about the border?" he asked CNN's Manu Raju. "We wouldn’t be talking about the southern border. But he has to do something because he's hemorrhaging, he's bleeding. … So what he's going to try to do is try to come up with some border security plan, bipartisan through the Senate that is nothing but hogwash.” READ THE FULL STORY AT GAZET...

‘It’s wrong, and we should not set this precedent,’ Rep. Buck says on Mayorkas impeachment

By Asher Notheis | The Gazette Rep. Ken Buck, R-Windsor, announced Thursday that he will not support an impeachment measure against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, putting the measure of impeachment at risk of not having enough votes to pass. The impeachment measure against Mayorkas is being pursued by House Republicans over the secretary's handling of the southern border. Buck, who previously said that he was undecided on whether he would support impeaching Mayorkas, explained that he would not support such a measure because Mayorkas's handling of the border is "a policy difference," not a "high crime." "Let me from the outset say there is a crisis on the border, the law needs to be enforced," Buck said. "But if we start going down th...

In bipartisan effort, House passes bill to deport illegal immigrants who receive DUIs

By Peyton Sorosinski | GAZETTE.COM The House approved a Republican-proposed bill Thursday with support from 59 Democrats that would indefinitely deport undocumented immigrants who are charged with driving under the influence in the United States. "In the United States, someone dies in a crash with an impaired driver every 45 minutes. I lost two of my young newlywed constituents to an illegal immigrant driving under the influence of alcohol," Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL), who brought forth the legislation, told Fox News. While it was primarily Republicans in favor of the measure, the final tally of votes was 274-150. All Alabama House Republicans voted in support of the bill, and the state's lone Democratic Rep. Terri Sewell opposed it, 1819 News&...
