Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told Newsmax on Tuesday that it’s indefensible for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to shirk his constitutional obligation and outright dismiss the House impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Johnson and Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., joined “Rob Schmitt Tonight” to blast what Republican lawmakers are expecting Schumer to do — dismiss the impeachment articles against Mayorkas.

“We’re surely doing everything we can to pressure him into actually having a trial,” Johnson told Schmitt. “The House managers should be given an opportunity to make their case so the Senate can hear the evidence. I don’t see how Senator Schumer can defend the part, you know, just completely dismissing or tabling the impeachment. Again, it would be completely unprecedented, never happened before. This is our constitutional obligation to try an impeachment that’s been brought over by the House managers.”
