Republican members of the House Oversight Committee had a full-scale nuclear meltdown today when Rep. Jared Moskowitz (R-FL) showed a photo of failed former president Donald Trump with the late sexual trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
The topic of the hearing was Hunter Biden, and in response to sexual trafficking allegations against the president’s son by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Mowkkowitz remarked, “And so, again, because the gentlelady from Georgia I know is such an advocate for women’s rights, as she mentioned, and is so concerned about grooming, and apparently we don’t have any standards here anymore, again, I just want to remind my colleagues, because, you know, I don’t want them to forget about hypocrisy, okay?”
“I don’t want them to forget about hypocrisy, but, you know, Donald Trump was asked about Jeffrey Epstein, and when he was asked, he said, you know, Jeffrey likes them young,” he added.
“How did he know that Jeffrey Epstein likes him young?” Moskowitz asked as he held up a photo of Trump with Epstein.
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) interjected to remark, “I’m just curious about the impugning of the former president’s character.”
“He does that himself,” Moskowitz noted. “By the way, please, so you’re making the point that we can disparage Joe Biden, but not Donald Trump?”
After Chairman James Comer (R-KY) allowed Moskowitz to continue, the Democrat added, “But the guy that you all kneel to, okay, associates himself with a pedophile.”
Several Republicans insisted that the comment be stricken from the record.
Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) told the chairman, “The man just said that we all kneel. I kneel to Christ. I stand for the flag, and if you’re concerned about prerogative, you should report it, Mr. Ranking Member.”
Moskowitz agreed to say that Republicans “very much support” a man who “associates himself with a pedophile” instead of “kneel to.”
