WASHINGTON, DC—Congressman Andy Ogles (TN-05) introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Kamala Harris for high crimes and misdemeanors. The articles cite her gross incompetence in dealing with the crisis at the southern border and her betrayal of the American people.
"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,” said Congressman Ogles. “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.”
Congressman Ogles also introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Harris during the First Session of the 118th Congress.
