Republicans are Totally Not Terrified of Kamala Harris

Vice President Kamala Harris is the presumptive Democratic nominee for President after less than two days of campaigning without President Biden.

Harris’s campaign raised more than $100 million from 1.1 million individual donors in about 36 hours, including a record $81 million in her first 24 hours as a candidate. The first public polling results since Biden’s departure from the race show Harris with a slim early lead over Republican Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, Trump is sounding like the angry old man that he is following a dud of a speech at the Republican National Convention. Oh, and Republican Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance has turned out to be exactly the kind of turd that everyone with eyeballs saw coming.

But Republicans are still pretending that everything is cool. They are so NOT worried about any of this, in fact, that they are trying to impeach Harris.

As Forbes reports, Tennessee Republican Rep. Andy Ogles filed articles of impeachment today against Harris for…something:

Ogles introduced a resolution calling to impeach Harris for high crimes and misdemeanors, arguing that during her term as vice president, Harris “has demonstrated extraordinary incompetence in the execution of her duties and responsibilities.”

Specifically, Ogles claims Harris has exhibited a “stark refusal to uphold the existing immigration laws” and a “palpable indifference to people of the United States suffering as a result of the ongoing southern border crisis.”

Basically, Ogles wants to impeach Harris for not making enough trips to stare at the Southern border and because he generally just thinks she is doing a bad job of being Vice President.

Unfortunately for Republicans, the Constitution does not consider “making Andy Ogles sad” to be either a high crime or a misdemeanor.

This resolution will almost certainly fail to gain traction in a House of Representatives that can’t even figure out how to hold basic votes on rule-setting measures. That might even be for the best, frankly, because holding a vote on impeaching Harris in the final stages of an election would absolutely be seen by voters for the complete farce that it is.

Republicans are, in fact, VERY worried about Harris — as well they should be. But you’re supposed to keep a better poker face than this.
