Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher is facing intense criticism from Republicans in his district and around the state following his vote this week against impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — with some on the right flank of his party calling for a primary challenge.
Gallagher joined three other House Republicans and every Democrat Tuesday evening in voting against impeaching Mayorkas for his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. He argued that Mayorkas' performance has been a "disgrace" but that Mayorkas' actions have not risen to the level of crimes necessary for impeachment.
He warned that impeaching a cabinet official could set a precedent for future administrations.
That decision drew swift criticism. One county GOP chairman in the Green Bay Republican's 8th Congressional District sent a letter to other county chairs disavowing Gallagher. Conservative talk radio hosts on Wednesday ridiculed his explanation. And some prominent Republicans have suggested Gallagher should face a primary challenge.
"I can no longer tolerate nor support someone who will not follow his constitutional duties and the wishes of his constituents," Oconto County GOP chairman Ken Sikora wrote in a letter to other county chairs in Gallagher's district. "I am calling on all District 8 Chairs to unite and condemn this betrayal."

TRAITOR Mayorkas and his enablers
What Mayorkas has done is going to ruin the nation. That rises to a level way beyond impeachment. Our government is totally corrupt.

I’m from Wisconsin and the only way Gallagher can save his job is to change his vote. Otherwise he’s being blackmailed like the two others.
These GOP idiots continue show how stupid and out of touch they are with the people.
We’re being invaded, you idiot!
Mike Gallagher doesn’t deserve to reside in the United States.
If Americans want to sweep evil out of leadership, only vote for those with the wisdom and temperament of El Salvadorian president Bukele.
Primary every last one of them. Truckers, plumbers, brick layers, HVAC technicians, soldiers, welders, electricians or manufacturers should be one of the requirements.
Check thier bank accounts
Blah blah blah
This is what a big fat payoff from Communists looks like.
Newyorkass is changing the demographics of America. His butt buddy, Fidel Castro, would be so proud. How the hell did that SOB ever get the job to run the so-called Department of Homeland Insecurity. Without that bass turd, the invasion of America could never have happened.
Mayorkas is guilty of Misprision of a Felony. Here’s the law:

“He warned that impeaching a cabinet official could set a precedent for future administrations.”
I’m sorry congressman, but if impeachment is not appropriate for someone like Myorkas, then it doesn’t belong on the books. Offer a Constitutional amendment to remove impeachment of cabinet officials.
But be forewarned, congressman. The rats would not even hesitate to do it in the future. H3ll, they impeached Trump twice for nothing, once while a private citizen.
The rules have changed. Don’t play by the old rules.

I think Aaron Rodgers could beat him in a primary. And Aaron is not as popular as Jordan Love is ..
They must have pictures of him in an orgy
Gallagher appears to have been raised in the California school system... He married a Hollywood puff named Anne Horak. So, as they say, "lie with dogs, get up with fleas."
If you’ve lost the Milwaukee ‘Urinal’ Sentinel, which is one of the three huge leftist rags in this state, you’re toast. Glad to see it!
On, Wisconsin! :)
The Dems already set that precedent.
