A House Oversight Committee hearing erupted into shouting and insults today when two members of the panel, Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and James Comer (R-KY) clashed over the issue of Republican attempts to impeach President Joe Biden despite their complete lack of any evidence proving high crimes and misdemeanors.
Raskin noted that Republicans had accused Biden of taking bribes but have yet to offer any proof to support their specious accusation.
“It has obviously been dropped, and yet this was the genesis of our investigation.”
Comer interrupted, “That is just simply not true, but go ahead and finish your story.”
“Oh, I agree you have been talking about bank statements for more than a year, but they don’t show anything other than there was no crime,” Raskin continued.
“Do you want to move for impeachment today?” Raskin asked. “Because I thought that that was your main agenda item.”
“You all need therapy, Mr. Raskin.”
“No, you need therapy,” Raskin insisted. “You’re the one who’s involved with the deranged politician, not me, okay?”
“I’ve divorced myself from Donald Trump a long time ago,” Raskin added. “You’re the one who needs to disentangle from that situation.”
The purpose of the bogus impeachment inquiry aimed at President Biden was simple: To try and deflect from the laundry list of legal issues confronting disgraced former president Donald Trump, who is facing 91 felony counts on charges ranging from fraud to stealing classified documents and storing them at Mar-a-Lago.
As Congressman Raskin rightly pointed out, the GOP needs to disentangle from its associations with Trump. But they won’t, and that could lead to a landslide loss by Republicans come November.
