Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) can't keep track of all the Biden administration officials she wants to impeach.

During an interview with Charlie Kirk, Boebert confused the potential impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas with the possible impeachment of Attorney General Merrick Garland.

"What can we expect from the House Republican Conference to start putting points on the board here against this crime syndicate?" Kirk asked.

"Well, so Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) already has, excuse me, sorry, I was thinking about Mayorkas for just a second," Boebert said. "There's so many people we want to impeach."

"We know that Merrick Garland needs to be impeached," she added. "We need to give jurisdiction to start actually looking into this, just like I did with the impeachment for [President] Joe Biden, giving the Homeland Security Committee jurisdiction for an impeachment inquiry."

Boebert said she would force a vote on the impeachment of Biden if Republicans did not act quickly.

"I still need everyone to continue to put pressure on their members of Congress to make sure that this inquiry actually comes up in the Homeland Security Committee," she explained. "I have been promised that it will."

"Because currently, if we're going to get jerked around and this inquiry doesn't take place, I want due process," she concluded. "So I forced the vote on the House floor and was promised that this would actually take place. If it does not, I will once again call up articles of impeachment and force a straight up and down vote."
