Washington, D.C. – House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik joins Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures to discuss the newly released articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the effect the Biden border crisis is having on New York, Extreme Democrats’ weaponization of the judicial system to keep President Trump off the ballot, the Biden impeachment inquiry, and combating antisemitism in higher education.

On the Articles Of Impeachment Against Sec. Mayorkas:
“Well, this is very important as House Republicans are the last line of defense, and we are holding the Biden Administration and Joe Biden accountable for the catastrophe at our Southern Border. Our Committee Chair, Mark Green of Homeland Security, has done a tremendous job and has shown to the American people that there has been a willful and refusal to comply with the law and an abuse of power in the position as Secretary of Homeland Security. You have a wide open border. It is the number one issue for Americans across the country. And it’s not just the border states, Maria, who are impacted. It’s my home state of New York as well. Every state is a border state. So the Committee will mark up those articles of impeachment and work through the process to bring them to the floor. And I think what is most telling is Democrats are refusing to hold Joe Biden accountable for this border crisis that Joe Biden and his Cabinet have created.”
On How The Biden Border Crisis Is Impacting New York:
“Yes because it’s not just the Southern Border. We’ve seen an 800 percent increase in the Swanton Sector, which is the part of the Northern Border that I represent, of illegal crossings. And Kathy Hochul was not included in the Governors who were providing support to the Southern Border. Meanwhile, she is begging for relief despite the fact that New York is a sanctuary state and New York City is a sanctuary city where Democrats rolled out the red carpet for illegals. Now, we are seeing that it’s an issue not just on the Southern Border but the Northern Border as well. And this is having real impacts on people’s lives, Maria. Just last week we saw in New York State a high school in New York City sent the kids home, sent U.S. students home to house illegal immigrants. This is a catastrophe. Voters will and we must hold Joe Biden accountable.”
On President Trump’s Successes Compared To Joe Biden’s Failures:
“It is clear to Americans that we had economic success. We had a secure border. We had strength around the world. We are seeing the most unfit President under Joe Biden: weakness around the world, a wide open border, and historic ‘Bidenflation’ because of failed Biden economics.”
On Ensuring Election Integrity:
“Well, this is very important, to hold Democrats and the Far Left accountable. For example, we see that it is really egregious and the first time in history Democrats are trying to remove President Trump from the ballot. That is interfering in this election. I proudly signed onto the amicus brief standing up for Americans’ rights to make the decision at the ballot box rather than radical judges and Democrats attempting to remove him. That’s just one of many steps. In New York State alone, for example, Democrats are trying to rig and cheat and illegally gerrymander districts. We are standing strong for election integrity in New York as well. So we need to focus on all efforts to make sure that this is a secure and constitutional election.”
On The Impeachment Inquiry Into Joe Biden:
“Well, this was really bombshell reports that came out of the Kevin Morris depositions last week, and I want to credit Jamie Comer, our Chair of Oversight, who is doing a tremendous job delivering transparency to the American people. Were it not for that Committee’s work, the American people would not know that the Biden’s benefited. Joe Biden and Jill Biden benefited directly: hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal money laundered from adversaries like Communist China. What we learned in the deposition from Kevin Morris is that Hunter Biden has six million dollars worth of loans, that Kevin Morris purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars of Hunter Biden’s terrible artwork and the fact that Kevin Morris owns ten percent of a stake in the private equity company invested in Communist China from Hunter Biden. Every American knows this is corruption at its core, and Joe Biden sits atop the Biden Crime Family. So this deposition was very important. I know the Oversight Committee is going to continue its work to deliver transparency and ultimately accountability for what I believe will be the greatest political scandal in our nation’s history with Joe Biden at the top of it.”
…
“Of course. I’ve said that Joe Biden is compromised. I’ve said that the American people know that the ‘Big Guy’ – ‘Ten percent for the Big Guy’ – is Joe Biden. And you are seeing a very weak foreign policy when it comes to asserting strength to counter China. We’re not seeing that from Joe Biden and the White House, and frankly, we’re not seeing any strength around the world today. So the media is trying to cover this up, the mainstream media. But again, the bank records and the checks themselves, they are the proof, Maria, that this President is compromised and corrupt.”
On Holding Higher Education Accountable for Antisemitism at Universities:
“Well, certainly it sent off an earthquake in higher education, Maria, and those university presidents, former university presidents in the case of two, sit atop institutions that have a rot and unfortunately, deep roots of antisemitism. For example, in Harvard’s case, when they announced the Antisemitic Task Force to combat antisemitism, the Chair of it is antisemitic and is known for antisemitic posts. So there’s a lot of work to do. That’s why the investigation on the Education Committee on which I serve is so, so important. And it’s not just those three institutions. It’s higher education across the board. But there will be a lot of work to make sure that we address this, to make sure these universities are held accountable.”
