In response to House Republicans taking a two-week vacation as they refuse to take action to secure the border or support our allies abroad, <\/em>DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd released the following statement:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHouse Republicans refuse to secure the border at home or support our allies abroad, but they are happy to take a two-week vacation as they block bipartisan solutions to deliver on the priorities that the American people care about \u2013 instead, doing the bidding of just one American: Donald Trump. The House GOP is doing exactly what Trump and Vladimir Putin want. While President Biden is supporting a bipartisan border deal and aid to our allies around the world, House Republicans continue to be nowhere to be found as they wait for Trump\u2019s next marching order.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Republicans are taking a two-week recess instead of taking action to improve border security at home or support our allies abroad.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a>: \u201cHouse GOP leadership canceled votes for Friday, and the House will return to Washington on Feb. 28 after the President\u2019s Day recess.<\/strong> \u2026 Johnson on Friday issued a statement saying Putin was \u2018likely directly responsible\u2019 for Navalny\u2019s death, but he did not give any indication the incident had immediately changed his calculus on bringing Ukraine aid to the floor for a vote. <\/strong>\u2026 Now, the House GOP\u2019s inaction on Ukraine coincides with comments from Trump that he would not protect NATO allies from a Russian attack if they had not contributed enough money toward defense spending.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJohnson, who is working with an extremely narrow margin in the House, initially opposed a bipartisan border security proposal, aligning with Trump, who said it was a political loser for Republicans. The Speaker has since rejected the national security supplemental passed with an overwhelming majority in the Senate because he said it did not include strong border provisions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Punchbowl News<\/a>: \u201cThis is the most chaotic, inefficient and ineffective majority we\u2019ve seen in decades covering Congress. It started this way under former Speaker Kevin McCarthy and has gotten worse under Johnson. <\/strong>And things aren\u2019t going to get easier. The House is leaving town today by 2:30 p.m. for the 13-day Presidents Day recess. When members return on Feb. 28, there will be only three days to fund a huge swath of the federal government or face a partial shutdown. There\u2019s another full shutdown deadline a week later. \u2026 By Wednesday afternoon, with Rules in a recess, Johnson pulled the plug and the leadership announced that they were cutting the week short.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of working for the American people, Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson went to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Donald Trump \u2013 proving once again that the House GOP is just another arm of Donald Trump\u2019s campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson<\/a>: \u201cJust had a great meeting with President @realDonaldTrump this Presidents\u2019 Day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of supporting bipartisan border security legislation, House Republicans baselessly impeached Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorkas.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

HuffPost<\/a>: \u201cHouse GOP Impeaches DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas \u2014 Just To Help Trump\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cAs Republicans accuse Mayorkas of grossly mishandling the border, Johnson is actively refusing to consider the Senate\u2019s bipartisan deal to ramp up border security.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cThe border compromise would represent a dramatic change of immigration law on lines many Republicans have long supported. \u2026 The Mayorkas impeachment effort \u2026 will have zero practical impact on the crisis at the southern border.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York Times<\/a>: \u201cRepublicans Against Border Enforcement\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolling Stone<\/a>: \u201cBorder Patrol Supports \u2018Strong\u2019 Immigration Deal. Republicans Don\u2019t Care\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cTrump, who is hoping to make immigration a key plank of his presidential campaign, has suggested on Truth Social that approving additional resources for the border would make Republicans \u2018look bad.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vox<\/a>: \u201cTrump made this clear when he reportedly urged Republicans in Congress to turn against the bipartisan Senate border security bill scheduled for a vote Wednesday so that he could keep the issue alive through the presidential election.<\/strong> His supporters have largely fallen in line.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cI think [Republicans] are making a terrible mistake if they vote for the bill.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cPlease blame it on me.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson\u2019s hypocrisy is on full display \u2013 he previously railed against \u201csingle-party impeachment\u201d and is blocking the bipartisan border security legislation despite repeatedly calling for action to secure the border and saying it \u201cis a job for Congress.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaker Mike Johnson<\/a>: \u201cThe founders of this country warned us against a single-party impeachment because they feared that it would bitterly and perhaps irreparably divide our nation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson<\/a>: \u201cI hope and pray that future congresses can and will exercise greater restraint.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson<\/a>: \u201cOur immigration system is broken. Reforming that system is a job for Congress.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson<\/a>: \u201cThe crisis at our southern border has deteriorated to such an extent that significant action can wait no longer.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson<\/a>: \u201cWe must insist \u2014 must insist \u2014 that the border be the top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson<\/a>: \u201cI do think it\u2019s past time to secure the border.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson<\/a>: \u201cI have said that very clearly from day one, we have to solve the [border] problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republicans are going after each other for pursuing a baseless impeachment sham and admitting that it does nothing to improve border security.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201c\u2018Dangerous\u2019 or \u2018unambiguous\u2019: Mayorkas impeachment divides House\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business Insider<\/a>: \u201cEven some Republicans are nervous about how Mayorkas’ impeachment could backfire\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Republican Ken Buck<\/a>: \u201cI prosecuted for 25 years. I know what a high crime and misdemeanor are and I know that this doesn\u2019t qualify. \u2026 This is a terrible impeachment. It sets a terrible precedent.<\/strong> \u2026 We\u2019ve got to stop this in this body, or we are going to lose our credibility with the\u2013 further lose our credibility with the American public.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Republican Tom McClintock<\/a>: \u201cThis strikes at the very heart of the Constitution’s separation of powers.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox News<\/a>: \u201c[Rep. McClintock] called it a \u2018stunt.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Republican Mike Gallagher<\/a>: \u201cCreating a new, lower standard for impeachment, one without any clear limiting principle \u2026 would only pry open the Pandora\u2019s box of perpetual impeachment.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cHouse Republican push to impeach Mayorkas meets chilly Senate GOP reception\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Igor Bobic, HuffPost<\/a>: \u201cGOP Sen. Cramer calls impeaching Mayorkas \u2018the dumbest exercise and use of time\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018What’s rich to me is the speaker says the [border] bill in the Senate is\u2026 dead on arrival. And then they proceed impeaching a cabinet secretary, which is obviously dead on arrival.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate Republican Shelley Moore Capito<\/a>: \u201cI don\u2019t think impeachment was something intended to be brought up every three months or every two months.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBS News<\/a>: \u201cSen. James Lankford, an Oklahoma Republican, told reporters that he expects the effort to fall short in the Senate. \u2018It\u2019ll fail in the Senate,\u2019 Lankford said. \u2018If I could use the House term, it\u2019ll be dead on arrival when it comes over.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axios<\/a>: \u201cSen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) said impeachment is a \u2018waste of time.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate Republican Thom Tillis<\/a>: \u201cThey\u2019re taking a fast track to condemning something they know nothing about, and they\u2019re taking a fast track to using impeachment without doing their homework.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate Republican Lisa Murkowski<\/a>: \u201cIf we have to deal with an impeachment proceeding that\u2019s going to come across on a wholly partisan vote, there\u2019s more important things.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate Republican Mitt Romney<\/a>: \u201cI haven’t seen the constitutional standard met yet.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the NY-03 special election, both parties talked about border security, but only Democrat Tom Suozzi could make the case that Democrats have a plan while Republicans are all talk and no action when it comes to securing the border.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News<\/a>: \u201cA decisive victory Tuesday for Tom Suozzi flipped a bellwether New York House district into the Democratic column, thinning an already small House GOP majority and potentially offering a preview of the campaign tactics in 2024 battleground races nationally. \u2026 Republicans went all-in on the issue of immigration as their ticket to victory \u2014 and fell short.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

HuffPost<\/a>: \u201cSuozzi affirmed his commitment to border security in two TV ads, and in the final days of the campaign, slammed Pilip for opposing a bipartisan Senate deal to shore up the border after Trump warned that it would benefit Biden. <\/strong>What\u2019s more, Suozzi and his allies were apparently able to get the latter point across without the benefit of advertising and direct mail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York Times<\/a>: \u201cWhen Ms. Pilip rejected a bipartisan Senate deal to boost deportations and fortify the border, Mr. Suozzi turned the tables, arguing that she was putting base politics above national security.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cMany voters in the swing district pointed to immigration as a top issue, <\/strong>something that could also be true for voters across the country during this year\u2019s general election. \u2026 Suozzi argued that he was the only person offering solutions in the race and criticized some Republicans in Congress for killing a bipartisan deal on the border.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wall Street Journal<\/a>: \u201cDemocrat Tom Suozzi won a special election Tuesday on Long Island, flipping a seat in Congress from the GOP and sending a signal that his party can withstand Republican attacks on immigration in swing districts far from the border.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NPR<\/a>: \u201cThis race was dominated by GOP attacks on immigration.<\/strong> Republicans spent more than $8 million on campaign ads in this race, a huge number for a special congressional election. They hammered Democrat Tom Suozzi on immigration on the airwaves. Republican Mazi Pilip even held rallies near a makeshift tent city in Queens that houses migrants. \u2026 Democrats showed they can defend themselves on this issue.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cThe victory also validated Suozzi\u2019s decision to invest heavily in countering the GOP on immigration<\/strong>, suggesting that Democrats in tight races can benefit from talking tougher on the border and highlighting Republicans\u2019 abrupt abandonment of a bipartisan deal on the matter negotiated in Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
