Per Just the News:
The articles accused Harris of “high crimes and misdemeanors,” saying that she “has willfully and systemically refused to uphold Federal immigration laws, in that: In her conduct of the Office of Vice President of the United States, Kamala Devi Harris… has willfully prevented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of justice.”
They further claim Harris has “demonstrated extraordinary incompetence in the execution of her duties.”
Ogles’s articles come days after President Joe Biden announced he would not seek reelection. Harris has since emerged as the likely Democratic nominee.
Ogles also introduced a resolution condemning the assassination attempt of Donald Trump.

From the Washington Examiner:
The resolution, introduced by Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) on Tuesday afternoon and shared exclusively with the Washington Examiner, states that the shooting at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13 was an “abhorrent act of cowardice that must be universally condemned.”
Both Democrats and Republicans, including President Joe Biden, have condemned the shooting as an unacceptable display of political violence that has no place in America.
The resolution also condemns a bill introduced called the DISGRACED Former Protectees Act that aimed to remove Secret Service protections for those who had been sentenced for a conviction. The bill text also blasts “inflammatory language” from the Democratic Party to “justify violence against Donald Trump” and a comment from Biden that called for putting “Trump in a bulls-eye” in regards to shifting focus away from the June 27 presidential debate.
“The vile rhetoric used to smear Donald Trump and American conservatives must end,” Ogles said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. “President Donald J. Trump came within millimeters of being assassinated, and it is because Leftists have spent the last decade characterizing Trump as a Nazi who wants to end democracy.”
