WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) today released a statement regarding the impeachment proceedings of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.
"While I share the House’s outrage over the President’s disastrous border policies, and I ultimately do not believe his cabinet Secretary’s implementation of those policies meets the Constitution’s test of ‘high crimes and misdemeanors,’ I voted against the Schumer points of order because it was important to engage in some level of debate," said Senator Romney.
Senator Romney also expressed his views on the handling of the impeachment process, stating, "It was a mistake for Senate Democrats to set a new precedent of disposing of the Articles of Impeachment without any evaluation whatsoever."
The statement by Senator Romney comes in the midst of a contentious political climate surrounding the impeachment proceedings. Romney's stance reflects a nuanced approach to the situation, emphasizing the importance of thorough evaluation and debate in such significant matters.
