U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Nashville) filed articles of impeachment against Vice President Kamala Harris Wednesday for “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
Ogles is the controversial congressman who still faces allegations that he misrepresented his education and work background on the campaign trail, a move that earned him comparisons to disgraced former Republican U.S. Rep. George Santos (R-New York).
A congressional watchdog group also filed an ethics complaints against him, alleging campaign finance violations. He admitted to those violations in May.
Ogles also told an activist in February, speaking about children being killed in Gaza, that “I think we should kill them all.”
And there was this Christmas card:
Ogles’ impeachment claims that Harris, now the presumptive front runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, showed “gross incompetence in dealing with the crisis at the southern border and her betrayal of the American people.”
He blames Harris, in part, for drugs on the streets, the rape and murder of “countless” women and children, and for allowing President Joe Biden to remain in office.
Here’s his statement in full:
“Kamala Harris has disgraced the office of the Vice President and willfully disregarded her oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.
“She is not only an embarrassment to the country but has also intentionally ignored her responsibility to enforce the laws of the United States and protect the American people.
“On her watch, every single town has become a border town. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have overdosed on illicit drugs brought across the southern border, and countless women and children have been raped and murdered.
“Kamala Harris has betrayed the trust of the public by failing to exercise her sworn duty to employ the provisions of the 25th Amendment to remove President Biden from office when it became apparent that he was mentally and physically incapable of continuing to serve.
“For these reasons alone, immediate action should be taken to impeach her.”
