For those not keeping up because the Hunter Biden situation continues to be a complete farce, the Republicans in the House have been trying to force Hunter Biden to testify behind closed doors. Biden insists that he will speak to Congress during a public hearing because he doesn’t want the GOP to leak things, make shit up, or falsely characterize the hearing. The GOP doesn’t want a public hearing, however, because they know they have nothing and that, like every other hearing on Hunter Biden, they’ll be embarrassed by the results, which will be replayed on cable news for days.
This morning, the GOP-led Congress decided that it would hold a hearing to determine whether Hunter Biden should be held in contempt of Congress, nevermind that Jim Jordan is leading the charge despite the fact that he defied a subpoena when asked to appear before the January 6th Commission. Hypocrisy, know thy name!
During the hearing, however, the Republicans received a surprise visitor: Hunter Biden. The chutzpah!
A spluttering Marjorie Taylor Greene went full Karen, insisting that James Comer recite the rules around depositions, how stenographers must be present, and three days’ notice must be given. “So, just to clarify, we can't have someone just walk in," she said.
The humiliated GOP Congress reverted to procedure in an attempt to hide their embarrassment. How DARE this man we want to talk to MAKE HIMSELF AVAILABLE TO US IN FRONT OF C-SPAN AND THE WHOLE WORLD.
It gets better because an enraged Rep. Nancy Mace — the Lauren Boebert of Madison Cawthorns — then called Hunter Biden "the epitome of white privilege, coming into the Oversight Committee, spitting in our face," while also adding that Biden has “No balls.” Nancy Mace going off on white privilege.
Also, it seems to me that appearing at a hearing where a craven Congress is deciding whether to cite him with contempt is the “epitome” of a man with very large balls.
"If the gentlelady wants to hear from Hunter Biden, we can hear from him right now,” Florida Democrat Jared Moskowitz said. “Let's take a vote and hear from Hunter Biden."
“I’m speaking,” Mace interjected. "Are women allowed to speak in here, or no?"
Priceless.
Nancy Mace? Christ, what an asshole. Borrowing feminist language to bolster herself and only herself. Again... christ, what an asshole.
"...the Lauren Boebert of Madison Cawthorns"
That's quite the insult and I am so here for it. Also, Nancy Mace sounds like she is cosplaying the faux outrage of one, Nancy Grace.
