WATCH A Freshman Democrat Expose The GOP’s Hypocrisy On The Issue Of Crime

Freshman Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett of Texas trolled Republicans on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee to their faces Tuesday during a hearing on the issue of crime in Washington, D.C., and video of her comments has gone viral on social media.

After election denier Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) had finished a rant about the rising number of crimes in the District, Crockett got her turn to speak, and she immediately went after two of the biggest crooks in the GOP: Failed former president Donald Trump and Rep. George Santos (R-NY).

“I’m so excited that my colleagues across the aisle care about sexual abuse considering that the front-runner right now for the presidency has just been found liable of sexual abuse.”

Crockett added, “So, I’m excited because this may mean that, finally, some folk will back off from supporting him because we don’t support sexual abusers in this chamber. So, I’m happy about this.”

Then came Santos’ turn.

“My Republican colleagues want to talk about keeping the streets of D.C. crime-free” but they “can’t even keep the halls of Congress crime-free.”

Crockett was just warming up, making it clear who she was referring to.

“My freshman colleague has just been indicted on 13 felony counts. But have they exhibited any courage to say, ‘You know what, we will not allow this in our body. We will disallow this in our body. We will make sure that we expel this individual?’”

“They have not. So, what I don’t want to hear is that they care about crime because if they did they would start by cleaning up our own house and mind our own business instead of coming after D.C.”

Republicans holding hearings on crime is almost as hypocritical as GOPers trying to lecture the country on family values.

Lauren Boebert Files For Divorce From Her Husband And Twitter Is Having A Field Day

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) filed for divorce from her husband of over two decades, according to The Daily Beast, which obtained the court documents.

The April 25 filing seeks to dissolve her marriage to Jayson Boebert, with whom she shares four sons. An affidavit of service, also obtained by The Daily Beast, indicate that Jayson Boebert appeared to be caught off guard by the court proceedings. He chased away a process server with an expletive-laden tirade and let his dogs loose when he was served with the divorce papers, the affidavit said.

“Once he learned that he was being served with Dissolution of Marriage papers he was extremely angry,” the process server wrote. “I tried to hand him the documents but [he] did not take them. He started yelling and using profanities, and told me that I was trespassing, and that he was calling the Sheriff’s Office. I told him I was leaving the documents on the chair outside of the door, he closed the door then let the dogs out.”

The document noted that Jayson was cleaning a gun and drinking a “tall glass of beer” when he was served.

As you’d expect when it comes to a hypocrite like Congresswoman Boebert, who repeatedly talks about the importance of “family values,” she issued a statement which sounds like something written by a fake Christian who needs to try and make something go away as quickly as possible before she gets back up on her sanctimonious soapbox

“It is with a heavy weight on my heart that I have filed for divorce from my husband,” the statement said. “I am grateful for our years of marriage together and for our beautiful children, all of whom deserve privacy and love as we work through this process. I’ve always been faithful in my marriage, and I believe strongly in marriage, which makes this announcement that much more difficult. This is truly about irreconcilable differences.”

Twitter had a field day with the news.

Lauren Boebert Just Proved She Has Absolutely No Idea How Time Works

Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has never been the sharpest knife in the proverbial drawer, but something she tweeted out Monday afternoon regarding the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border is now making some wonder if she can even understand how time works.

The subject of Boebert’s tweet was the so-called “surge” taking place at the border since Title 42 ended last week.

Has there been a massive influx of migrants since the policy ended? No. There hasn’t.

The Hill reports:

According to the most recent figures released Monday, the number of encounters at the border fell by about 50 percent in the first three days after Title 42 was abandoned 

Whereas the daily number of such encounters had been predicted to reach somewhere in the ballpark of 13,000, it instead came in around 5,000. There were few scenes of disorder or chaos. 

And yet, Boebert tweeted out this:

Just how stupid is Boebert? Is she unable to read a chart? Or is the congresswoman so mentally challenged that she cannot even understand last week versus this week?

Twitter users were only too happy to answer that question and also mock Boebert for her lack of comprehension.

Congress Fox News GOP The Trump Adminstration

WATCH: Fox Host Asks GOPer Why He Didn’t Probe The $640 Million Jared And Ivanka Made While Trump Was POTUS

Ever since Fox News wound up having to shell out $787.5 million to Dominion Voting Systems for lying about the 2020 election, it seems that hosts at the network have been much more willing to question the bullshit that their Republican guests spew.

Case in point, Fox News host Arthel Neville, who asked Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) why the GOP-controlled House doesn’t bother to investigate the hundreds of millions of dollars Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump made while Donald Trump was president.

The discussion began when Burchett noted that he believed the family of President Joe Biden had laundered at least $10 million while Biden was vice president.

“When the Biden family went to mob school, I believe they fell asleep during the money laundering because it is very clear where the money is coming from, the communist Chinese and many of our enemies across this world,” Burchett alleged.

That’s when Neville asked about the Trumps.

“But I do want to mention this, that absolutely, according to the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, on record, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump made up to $640 million while her father was in office, and they were official advisers to the president,” Neville noted. “If you would explain to our viewers why the Hunter Biden scenario is different.”

Burchett asserted that the earnings of Jared and Ivanka “were not hidden,” adding, “That was business dealings that they were doing, and they are business people. Whether it was, I think that that should be looked at as well.”

Neville: “So if the problem is corruption and compromise, wouldn’t any income of such of that substantial amount be problematic for our country while someone is in office and their family members are receiving those sorts of payments?”

The congressman replied, “I think so. There’s there should be no stone left unturned. But apparently, this is one that they refuse to even look at.”

Don’t hold your breath waiting on Republicans to investigate the many alleged criminal actions of the Trump family while Daddy Don was in office. They don’t plan to. Not now and not ever.

House Oversight Chair Comer Claims He ‘Lost’ Key Witness In His Biden Investigation

According to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), his fact-free investigation of President Joe Biden and the Biden family’s “corruption” was going great until the key witness suddenly disappeared.

During an appearance on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Fox host Maria Bartiromo, Comer was asked, “”You have spoken with whistleblowers,” she noted. “You also spoke with an informant who gave you all of this information. Where is that informant today? Where are these whistleblowers?”

Comer: “Well, unfortunately, we can’t track down the informant. We’re hopeful that the informant is still there. The whistleblower knows the informant. The whistleblower is very credible.”

“Hold on a second, Congressman,” Bartiromo said. “Did you just say that the whistleblower or the informant is now missing?”

“Well, we we’re hopeful that we can find the informant,” Comer replied, claiming the informant was in the “spy business” and “they don’t make a habit of being seen a lot.”

Comer then added, “The nine of the ten people that we’ve identified that have very good knowledge with respect to the Bidens, they’re one of three things, Maria, they’re either currently in court, they’re currently in jail, or they’re currently missing.”

Translation: Comer has no witnesses or informants. He made the entire thing up as a way to slag the president in retribution for a real criminal, Donald Trump, being impeached twice and under indictment in Manhattan.

The GOP strategy for attacking the Biden family is simple: They make a lot of noise, throw out a bunch of allegations, and then yell “Squirrel!!” when anyone asks for specifics.
