“As suspected, the Republicans proved this afternoon that this whole impeachment was nothing more than a political show,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) during a press conference following the Senate’s vote that dismissed the articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
