WATCH A Reporter Shred A House Republican’s So-Called ‘Evidence’ Against Joe Biden

Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, got fact-checked on live TV during a press conference by an NBC reporter, and video of the exchange has gone viral on social media.

Presenting what he claimed was “evidence” of illegal activity by President Joe Biden, Smith began making all sorts of wild allegations, HuffPost reports.

“Smith … claimed the committee had “over 700 pages of examples where people should be very concerned.”

But NBC reporter Ryan Nobles was having none of the dog and pony show Smith was leading, and he immediately began peppering Smith with facts and questions that severely undercut the congressman’s claims.

The reporter wondered about the relevance of a WhatsApp message Hunter Biden allegedly sent in 2017, when Donald Trump was the U.S. president and Joe Biden hadn’t yet announced his 2020 presidential run.

“If he’s not the president or the vice president at that time, where’s the wrongdoing? He wasn’t even a candidate for president at that time,” Nobles asked.

Smith tried to counter: “He was a candidate.”

Actually, Biden didn’t announce his candidacy until 2019, which makes Smith a liar.

Rather than admit his mistake, Smith inquired of Nobles, “What source are you with?”

NBC, Nobles replied, to which Smith whined, “So, apparently you’ll never believe us.”

Nobles retorted:

“You presented a piece of evidence that you say came on August 6th, 2017, that demonstrates that Joe Biden was using political influence to help his son. But he wasn’t a political figure at that time. The first WhatsApp message you put up — how does that demonstrate that there was some sort of political influence being put over him if, at that time, he is not a political, not an elected official?”

Getting more exasperated by the second, Smith told Nobles he wasn’t about to “pinpoint one item.” But as Nobles reminded him, “You presented it! It was [the] first thing that you brought up.”

Perhaps sensing that he was only making matters worse, Smith turned away from Nobles and told the other reporters, “I’ll take the next question.”

The so-called “impeachment inquiry” being conducted by House Republicans is nothing more than an attempt to distract from the fact that their leading presidential candidate, Donald Trump, stands accused of 91 criminal counts in four separate jurisdictions. And their actions are backfiring on them in humiliating fashion.

Twitter Erupts With Disgust After Video Of Trump Signing A Young Girl’s Chest Goes Viral

Failed, one-term, twice-impeached, and four-time indicted former president Donald Trump is a dirty old man.

Yes, it’s really that simple.

How else can you explain him lusting for his daughter, Ivanka, bragging about grabbing women by the pussy, and cheating on all three of his wives?

And now, even though he’s 77 years old, Donnie couldn’t resist feeling up a young girl during a campaign stop in Iowa, which was caught on video and has gone viral, according to Carla Sinclair of BoingBoing.

Footage shows the thirsty four-times indicted former president tapping a young blonde waitress on the back and fist pumping the air when she turns around. He then proceeds to leave his mark, autographing the top of her tank-covered chest. “Oh my god!” says someone who sounds like Trump, but it’s hard to tell for sure. (See video below, posted by Mike Sington.)

And for good measure, he then pins her arm down to scrawl across her skin to lots of hoots and cheers. Republicans sure know how to pick ’em.

Speaking as a father, if some man did that to my daughter, he’d have a hell of a lot of explaining to do, and I can’t promise I wouldn’t deck him, even if it meant being arrested by the Secret Service for assaulting an ex-president.

The overall consensus on social media was also harsh, with commenters slamming Trump for constantly being on the prowl.

WATCH: AOC Burns Republican Nancy Mace Down During A House Hearing On ‘Special Interests’

New York Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (a.k.a. AOC) took a verbal blowtorch to her Republican colleague, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) after she read off a list of “special interests” during a House committee hearing, and video of the exchange is going viral on social media.

HuffPost reports the purpose of the hearing was on something known as “third-party litigation funding.”

Democrats argued “that outside backing of lawsuits allowed plaintiffs to take on big corporations while testimony from Johnson & Johnson called for more disclosure on the identity of those financing lawsuits.”

Mace made sure to thank organizations that “reached out” and agreed to be a part of the hearing.

“I’d like to enter into the record letters to the committee from the American Tort Reform Association, American Property Casualty Insurance Association, the Advanced Medical Technology Association, the Institute for Legal Reform, the International Legal Finance Association, National Association of Manufacturers, Jerry Theodorou at the R Street Institute. Without objection, so ordered. … I would now like to yield five minutes to Ms. Ocasio-Cortez.”

That led AOC to respond, “I thank [you] for the listing of all the special interests involved in addition in this hearing.”

Ocasio-Cortez used the remainder of her time to focus on the Supreme Court.

“When I first heard that the Republican side was going to be calling a hearing on third-party influence in our courts, I was so excited because I thought, finally we are going to address the biggest scandal in American democracy that we are currently having right now, which is the extraordinary corruption and wholesale purchase of members of the Supreme Court.”

“And I also find it amusing that we just heard from the Republican side, ‘Ucchh, why do we want to talk about this?’” she added. “Because women have lost the right to choose, because Indigenous people have lost rights, because minorities have lost rights, because working people across the country have lost rights due to this level of corruption.”

Twitter users delighted in AOC’s remarks.

WATCH One Of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Constituents Confront Her For Her Bigotry

Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene got an earful from one of her constituents at town hall she held in her district, and it all had to do with comments Greene made about Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY).

According to Radar Online, the black constituent asked Greene, “Do you know who Carolyn Donham is?”

When Greene admitted she didn’t, the woman continued.

“She was the woman who said that Emmett Till looked at her the wrong way, or said something to her, the way you did Jamaal Bowman,” she said. “You were on the steps of the Capitol talking about gun violence…”

The woman added, “I think you’re reckless. I think you’re reckless. You had no business saying, ‘Oh, he’s so big. Oh, I feel so, like, he’s gonna hurt me.’ It’s the same thing Carolyn Donham said that got Emmett Till killed, and that was reckless, and you did a reckless thing. And if anything happens to Jamaal Bowman, it’s going to be on your hands.”

Clearly taken aback by the woman’s comments, Greene finally responded.

“Let me ask you, were you in New York when he stood outside my car… and he brought a crowd around me? Were you there?” Greene asked. “No, you were not in New York City when that happened. It’s on video, it’s on video, and you may watch the video. And you can see how he cussed…That’s wrong. This isn’t about skin color. I refuse, I refuse for you to do that.”

After a few more seconds of back and forth, the majority of the audience stood and applauded Greene.

The video drew plenty of comments on Twitter.

Jamie Raskin Uses Jim Jordan’s Own Words To Prove His ‘Weaponization Committee’ Is A Sham

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) got his own words played back to him during a hearing of the House select committee on the “weaponization” of the federal government, and the quote makes it perfectly clear that the real reason for the committee is to benefit Donald Trump and help him get reelected in 2024.

Those words (and a video of them) were brought to light be Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who told Jordan:

“Relaxing with a friendly interviewer, Chairman Jordan gave the game away entirely, ‘All of those things need to be investigated, just so you have the truth,’ he said. ‘Plus, that will hope frame up the 2024 race, when hope, and I think President Trump is going to run, and we need to make sure that he wins.'”

The Maryland Democrat added:

“We need to make sure that he wins. This call to arms for the 2024 election was met with wild applause from the CPAC audience. I urge every member of the subcommittee to go and watch the interview.”

Earlier in the day, Raskin also exposed the Republicans for their lawlessness.

“They’ve proven that they will weaponize the government not just against other parties, but against anyone who refuses to bend to the will and win of one Donald Trump, whether that’s a lifelong Republican state election official, like Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger, foreign head of states like president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, or a political movement, like Black Lives Matter, a once-close personal friend and ally of Trump’s, like his personal lawyer Michael Cohen for many years, or even a sycophantic Trump appointee, a lifelong Republican like attorney general William Barr. If these people break from the habits of lying and lawlessness that define life as a camp follower in the cult of Donald Trump, if the weaponize campaign isn’t partisan, it’s entirely political.

“It’s got an overriding electoral focus. You know what it is. It’s all about restoring Donald Trump, the twice-impeached former president, to the office he lost by 7 million votes in 2020 and tried to steal back in a political coup and violent insurrection against our constitutional order on Jan. 6, 2021.”
