U.S. Senator Katie Britt joined FOX News this morning to discuss former President Donald Trump and the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Britt also resurrected calls for a full impeachment trial of President Biden’s Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas.
Britt told Fox that she believes the left is “obsessed” with former President Trump and that his trial beginning today shows it.
“I mean, there is a reason both the federal prosecutors and state prosecutors said, we are not going to move forward with this,” said Britt. “Then you have Alvin Bragg entering into the arena and wanting to make a name for himself.”
“People are sick of the two-tiered system of justice that we’re seeing. I think that the more the media can talk about this, which we’re gonna see them do, the less they have to talk about what a disaster this country is, under Joe Biden.”
“They know people want Donald Trump back in the White House, and they absolutely cannot stand that,” Britt declared.
“I mean, look at what’s happening all over the country right now. Whether it’s our border, whether it’s abroad, or whether it’s how far your dollar goes at home. It is a complete and total disaster under Joe Biden.”

“So, we need Donald Trump out there giving that message and obviously bringing more people in — and they know that when that happens — he’s going to win in November, and they absolutely cannot stand it. So, we’ve got to get him back out there.”
She also addressed the possibility of a full Senate impeachment trial of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. Britt said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has the power to make an impeachment trial happen — but expressed doubts that he would.

“We’ve got to keep this momentum building because what Senator Chuck Schumer wants to do is just motion to table he wants to just completely sweep this under the rug.”
“Chuck Schumer would rather spend his days putting very partisan judges on the floor and us not actually doing our job. So, what you see right now is we’re waiting on the transmission of that impeachment to come to the Senate,” explained Britt.
“This is something we’ve got to continue to keep the pressure on Chuck Schumer.”

“This has been 150 years, since we have been dealing with something like this, but it is unprecedented to not have a free open trial in front of the American people.”
“Whether it is drug cartels, whether it’s human traffickers, or whether it’s terrorists, it is absolutely open season under Joe Biden and Secretary Mayorkas and these failed policies. Somebody needs to answer for it.”
Britt revealed alarming statistics highlighting the failures of Mayorkas and the Biden Administration in dealing with issues at the southern border.
“Let me tell you what Chuck Schumer doesn’t want people to know,” said Britt.
“You look at the fentanyl poisonings. It’s a leading cause of death between the ages of 18 and 45.”
“In this nation, when you look at human trafficking under President Trump, it was a $500 million industry. It is now a third teen billion dollar industry under Joe Biden. That’s men, women and children who are suffering and paying the price.”
“Then when you look at terrorists we had the FBI director just a few months ago, say in a Senate hearing, he sees blinking lights everywhere. We know under President Trump there were only 14 known terrorists that came to the border, we’re looking at upwards of 350 and more.”
“That doesn’t even account for the unknown. People 1.8 million and growing, that we don’t know who they are, where they’re going, or what their intentions are.”
“It’s absolutely despicable and the American people deserve better.”
