Raskin is using Comer's words against him

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!

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: "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

"It was largely upbeat" -- VP contender Doug Burgum downplays Trump's remarks comparing the Biden administration to the Gestapo

TAPPER: If Trump becomes a convicted felon, will that affect your support for him?

BURGUM: Well if he becomes a convicted felon in this case, that's just a travesty of justice

TAPPER: It was a little bit more than just checking the wrong box on a form

TAPPER: Does that offend you more than Trump telling a room full of wealthy people that he's gonna cut their taxes? Isn't that buying votes?

BURGUM: I just reject the whole premise of "wealthy donors." The room of people there are all job creators

TAPPER: They're not wealthy?

"These people are destroying our country" -- Trump this morning on the unemployment rate ticking up to 3.9 percent from 3.8 percent (it was 6.3 percent when he left office so, yeah)

Trump complains that he can't go to Ohio tomorrow and Florida on Sunday because of his trial. The only problem is that there is no trial on Saturday or Sunday lol.

Trump: "Read Greg Jarrett. Read Andrew McCarthy. Read Mark Levin, who's been so great. Read all of them. It's incredible. Dershowitz came out w/a very strong article. Jon Turley who's been very powerful just came out w/another article. I don't know these people for the most part"

KAITLAN COLLINS: So you agree that people who break in and vandalize a building should be prosecuted?

JD VANCE: Yes

COLLINS: Ok, I'm just checking, because you helped raise money for people who did so on January 6

JD VANCE: I did not read the president's attorneys as saying the president could order a coup

KAITLAN COLLINS: He said it would depend on the circumstances. What circumstances warrant it?

VANCE: He's just saying that would count as an official act.

KAITLAN COLLINS: You're basically saying that if the president orders a military coup, you believe the only remediation for that is impeachment?

JD VANCE: You're dealing with hypotheticals here
