Raskin is using Comer's words against him Image
Raskin: "The chairman refused to take yes for an answer from Hunter Biden"
Nancy Mace to Hunter Biden: "You have no balls"

Stay classy.
bad news for Jim Jordan
Nancy Mace is trying sooo hard to craft that perfect 20 second clip for Hannity
Moskowitz asks Republicans to show hands if they want to hear from Hunter Biden right now. Most don't raise their hands.
Moskowitz: "Even this morning on Mornings with Maria, she asked another simple question, the question you have been asked multiple times, which is, do you have evidence to impeach the president? ... the answer is, you don't."
Moskowitz is very good at this. Here he is exposing GOP hypocrisy by brandishing all the subpoenas that Republicans recently refused to comply with.
Hunter Biden walks out when Marge Greene begins her statement!
Holy shit the dishonesty of this Fox News chyron. Republicans won't let Hunter publicly testify! Image
Rep. Garcia: "I think it's really interesting to hear the gentlelady from Georgia speak about Hunter Biden leaving when she is the one who showed nude photos of Hunter Biden in this very committee room. Showing dick pics in this committee room."
ouch
Connolley: "Three names -- Jordan, Perry, and Biggs. Not a law firm. Three members of this body who defied a legitimately issues subpoena upheld by courts of law. I think it's really important to remember that when the word 'hypocrisy' is thrown around."
Raskin points out that Ashli Babbitt was not murdered, prompting Marge to interrupt him. Comer then shouts Raskin down as he makes a case that the person to blame for Babbitt's death is Donald Trump.
Crockett points out that if Republicans were serious about getting mad over presidents taking foreign money while in office, they should be really mad about Trump
Crockett: "I can't get over [Mace] talking about 'white privilege.' It was a spit in the face ... y'all don't know what white privilege looks like."
Crockett to Republicans: "Let me tell you why nobody wants to talk to you behind closed doors -- because y'all lie."
AOC: "You've got members who have engaged in revenge porn in this committee. So it's understandable why Hunter Biden would want to testify in front of the public."

lol bless her heart
MARGE GREENE: It's not pornography

RASKIN: You're the expert
Comer looks like he's having a blast!
Pat Fallon seems to think that Hunter Biden serves in Congress. Really.
Comer apparently peaced out of the hearing lol
Rep Lynch: "There's been no evidence brought forward against the president."
my "one of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein actually vindicated Trump" shirt raises a lot of questions already answered by my shirt
Raskin reminds people that Trump refused to divest himself from his businesses when he took office and then proceeded to take money from foreign governments, and now has lawyers arguing he has a right to assassinate his political opponents as long as he's not impeached
GOSAR: An inquiry is a search

RASKIN: And what's been found?

GOSAR: There's stuff there

RASKIN: Can you share it with us?

GOSAR: *word salad*
Rep. Shontel Brown: "We are here on behalf of one man. The self-proclaimed dictator on day one ... we are here because my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have no positive agenda to run on ... getting to the truth was never their actual goal."
Byron Donalds uses his time to do a promo for Trump hotels. Pitiful stuff.
DONALDS: Have you ever stayed at a Trump hotel, Mr Raskin?

RASKIN: No. And I would never stay at a Trump hotel. I have too much self-respect.

DONALDS: You stay at bad hotels?
Wow. Raskin spits facts here 👇

"Trump converted the presidency into an instrument for self-enrichment ... it was a money-making operation ... and yet out of some misguided partisan loyalty, you're gonna stick with him ... you guys have been taken over by an absolute con man"

Biden, delivering commencement address to Morehouse, talks about the car crash that killed his wife & daughter & the death of his son Beau.

"In this walk of life, you come to understand that we don't know where or what fate will bring you. But we also know you don't walk alone."
moving stuff from Biden to Morehouse grads

"The pandemic robbed you of so much... you started college just as George Floyd was murdered... it's natural to wonder if the democracy you hear about actually works for you... are we living up to what we say we are as a nation?... faith asks you to hold on to hope... that's my commitment to you. To show you democracy is still the way."
Biden to Morehouse grads: "I want to say this very clearly -- I support peaceful nonviolent protest ... I'm working for around the clock for more than just a ceasefire. I'm working to bring the region together ... I'm working to make sure we finally get a two state solution."

"We're here at the beck and call of Trump fanatics" -- Plaskett plays a clip of Bartiromo criticizing Jim Jordan's leadership of the "weaponization" committee during a weaponization committee hearing lol
Plaskett: "No, Donald, even a president can't shoot someone on 5th Avenue on broad daylight and get away with it."

She then takes a shot at RFK Jr, noting that Jordan called him in to testify despite him missing "part" of "his brain"
"You know better and it is shameful" -- Rep. Goldman points out that Republicans and their witnesses are using Jim Jordan's latest "weaponization" hearing as part of Trump's effort to jury tamper

Biden: "Germany, 1933, Hitler & his Nazi Party rise to power by rekindling one of the world's oldest forms of prejudice & hate- antisemitism. His rule didn't begin with mass murder. It started slowly across economic, political, social, & cultural life. Propaganda demonizing Jews"
Biden: "That hatred was brought to life on October 7, 2023 ... the terrorist group Hamas unleashed the deadliest day against the Jewish people since the Holocaust ... now, here we are, just 7.5 months later, and people are already forgetting that Hamas unleashed this terror."
Biden, speaking at a Holocaust remembrance event, is forcefully denouncing Hamas and antisemitism on college campuses and social media

MARGARET BRENNAN: Did you meet Kim Jong Un?

KRISTI NOEM: As soon as this was brought to my attention, I made some changes and looked at this passage

BRENNAN: So you did not meet with Kim Jong Un?

NOEM: I've met with many world leaders. I'm not going to talk about specifics.
BRENNAN: You never went to North Korea

NOEM: Yes I have. I've been there.

BRENNAN ... you have?

NOEM: There are details in this book that talk about going to the DMZ
Noem tries to portray herself as a victim because Brennan is asking her about egregious lies in her book and also doesn't take responsibility for the errors
