Three members of the House Republican caucus sided with the Democrat Party today in voting against a resolution to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Though three Republicans sided with Democrats, the vote to impeach Mayorkas did pass, marking the first time that a cabinet official has been impeached since the 1870s. The final vote tally was 214-213.
We wanted to take time at Launch Liberty to expose the campaign contributions of the three Republicans who voted against impeaching Mayorkas in order to give our audience a greater perspective on why these individuals chose to side with the Democrat Party, and to allow the perpetuation of lawless chaos at our Southern Border.
A report released by ‘The Hill’ in late-January 2023 tells us that under Joe Biden’s Presidency, the number of illegal immigrants in the United States is set to double. Border Patrol estimates that over 6 million illegal immigrants have entered the United States under President Biden already, with that number set to steadily increase.
The three Republicans who voted against the impeachment of Mayorkas, essentially condoning this lawlessness at our Southern Border, are…
- Rep. Mike Gallagher
- Rep. Tom McClintock
Rep. Ken Buck
Let’s investigate donations made to the campaigns of these Congressmen to see if we can’t find donors who would influence their vote in support of Mayorkas and the Biden Border catastrophe.
Rep. Mike Gallagher
Mike Gallagher’s largest donor, to his PAC called ‘Team Gallagher’ is a man named Thomas Tull. Tull is listed on Wikipedia as the former CEO of Legendary Entertainment. See Tull’s most recent $28,200 in donations to Gallagher’s PAC below. Note, the contributions are made to ‘Go PAC Go’, a political action committee in support of Gallagher, and ‘Team Gallagher’.
An analysis of Tull’s other campaign contributions show us that he has been a prolific donor to several political installations previously controlled by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Remember, one of the many issues that led to Kevin McCarthy being removed as House Speaker was his inaction on the Border. In addition to making contributions to Kevin McCarthy’s campaign directly, Thomas Tull donated over $760k to McCarthy’s ‘Protect The House 2024’ PAC, and the formerly McCarthy-controlled NRCC in 2023 alone. See evidence of those donations via FEC.gov below…
Did Gallagher’s top donor, Thomas Tull, have any effect on Gallagher’s vote against holding DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas responsible for his failures? It should be noted that much like Kevin McCarthy, Mike Gallagher has announced that he will be retiring from the House of Representatives after his term.
Rep. Ken Buck
In a similar situation to Rep. Mike Gallagher, Rep. Ken Buck is also retiring at the end of his current term in Congress. An examination of his campaign finance data shows that a man called Richard Uihlein is among his top donors. Uihlein is the creator of ULine, a major shipping compamy, and also See donations from Uihlein to Buck’s campaign below…
A further look into Uihlein’s political donations reveal that he was a massive donor to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ PAC ‘Never Back Down’ in the 2024 Presidential Election. Is it any coincidence that Buck, who received donations from Uihlein, voted with Democrats to protect Alejandro Mayorkas? Uihlein gave an astounding $1.5 Million to DeSantis’ ‘Never Back Down’ PAC in 2023. One donation of $500,000 was made on November 2nd, 2023. Another donation, occurring on May 5th, 2023, was for $1,000,000. See evidence of those donations from Uihlein to ‘Never Back Down‘ below…
Buck’s top donor also has given a tremendous amount of money to the ‘Club For Growth Action’. Just in 2023, Uihlein has donated over $8.7 Million to the organization. In total, since just 2015, Uihlein has donated over $75 Million to the organization. See evidence of those donations below…
Club For Growth’s largest recipient of funds in 2023 was a Democrat organization called ‘Win It Back PAC’, which has funded anti-Trump advertisements across the country. Uihlein, one of Ken Buck’s top donors, is also one of the largest donors to Club For Growth, who is attacking former President Trump ahead of the 2024 Election.
Ken Buck’s donation record tells us an awful lot about the Congressman. Most importantly, it shows a recurring trend of donors that openly oppose the America First, Trump-wing of the Republican Party.
Rep. Tom McClintock
While McClintock’s campaign finances aren’t as ‘electrifying’ as those of Ken Buck and Mike Gallagher, there are serious ties between McClintock, highlighting a trend of McCarthy support amongst the three Republicans who voted with Democrats to protect DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
After McCarthy was removed as House Speaker, McClintock skewered the 8 Republicans who voted to remove McCarthy, referring to them as, “sad and pathetic mediocrities nursing petty personal grudges.” See video of that statement below…
It should be noted that McClintock’s donations have fallen off tremendously in the year 2023, and I expect, based on his campaign finance report, that he will soon be retiring from the House.
All three of the Republican members of Congress who voted against impeaching DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have serious ties to former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and some share donors with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and the Club for Growth. It appears that the anti-Trump wing of the Republican Party may have played a serious role in attempting to tank the vote to impeach Biden DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Why does the establishment donor wing of the Republican Party work so hard in order to move against the policies desired by the Republican voter base?
