House Republicans will be remembered by history for trampling on the Constitution for political gain rather than working to solve the serious challenges at our border, DHS spokesperson Mia Ehrenberg, via statement.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called the impeachment "a new low for House Republicans.".

This sham impeachment effort is another embarrassment for House Republicans, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, via statement.

The one and only reason for this impeachment is for Speaker Johnson to further appease Donald Trump, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, via statement.

President Biden also condemned the impeachment.

History will not look kindly on House Republicans for their blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship that has targeted an honorable public servant in order to play petty political games, President Joe Biden, via statement
