‘That Is Bullsh*t!’ Comer Loses It In Heated Battle With Democrat Alleging Hypocrisy on Biden, Calls Him a ‘Smurf’
An ugly war of words broke out at Monday’s House Oversight Committee hearing with chairman James Comer (R-KY) resorting to calling Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) a “Smurf,” of the small, blue, humanoid variety.
The confrontation began when Moskowitz questioned Comer, who has been investigating the Bidens, about business dealings with his own brother.
“I’m happy to yield you some of my time today, Mr. Chairman, because I think you owe it to the American people to explain why you’ve gone on Fox News and told people, while the president was out of office, he had a loan with his brother, and in a way they were evading taxes. It has come out in the public that you also do business with your brother with potential loans,” Moskowitz said.
“I would love it!” Comer said of taking some of Moskowitz’s time to explain. “You retweeted that story. Completely false. I’ve never loaned my brother one penny.”
“That story that you tweeted also said that I had a shell company. That is bullshit!” Comer declared. “I think that the problem is, you know, the White House tried to get CNN to write that story. They went around and investigated all this bullshit…that only dumb financially illiterate people pick up on, and said that it was a shell company because it was an LLC.”
Comer said he has financially disclosed the company in question that he bought using bank loans and not from “getting wires from Romania” and China.
“But you and [Rep. Dan] Goldman, who is ‘Mr. Trust Fund,’ continue to try to discredit — ”
“Reclaim my time!” Moskowitz shot back.
“No! I’m not going to give you your time back! We can stop the clock. You all continue to — you look like a Smurf here, just going around and all this stuff, now listen — ”
The Smurf crack was ostensibly because Moskowitz was dressed all in blue.
The two then yelled over each other until Moskowitz goaded Comer with, “Mr. Chairman, this seems to have gotten under your skin! I think the American people have lots of questions, Mr. Chairman. Perhaps you should sit, maybe, for a deposition — ”
“I would be happy! I can sit with Hunter Biden and Jim Biden and we can go over our LLCs!”
