Support among House Democrats for impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is skyrocketing, nearly doubling in the last week to 100 co-sponsors.
That’s an unprecedented level of support for an impeachment effort during President Trump’s second term, with lawmakers who have bristled at the topic in the past now warming to the idea.
Kelly is urging Republicans to get on board with her efforts — even as no GOP lawmaker has come close to expressing support for Noem’s impeachment.
“As Secretary Noem continues to lie, obstruct Congress, and violate people’s civil rights, the support for her impeachment only grows,” she said.
It’s nothing but more performative politics and as we get closer to midterms, this performance will ramp up even further. They’re not going to impeach or remove Noem from office because they condone her actions, I doubt there’s going to be a single thing that Democrats are going to roll back once they get back into power. Their ratchet effect will lock it all into place and the entire country will shift further to the right, they’ve been doing this for decades
