Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) on Wednesday laid naked the hypocrisy of Republican lawmakers who search to carry Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress.
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee debated with Democrats forward of a vote Wednesday to suggest that the president’s son be charged with contempt of Congress for failing to adjust to a subpoena.
Hunter Biden made a shock look on the listening to, in a reminder that Republicans declined his supply to testify publicly.
Moskowitz advised Biden may testify then and there, if Republicans allowed him to.
“The only folks that are afraid to hear from the witness with the American people watching are my friends on the other side of the aisle,” he stated.
“Let’s take a vote. Who wants to hear from Hunter Biden, right now, today? Anyone?” he requested. “C’mon, who wants to hear from Hunter? No one!”
The freshman Democrat additionally listed off the names of Republicans who had refused to adjust to congressional subpoenas from the Jan. 6 committee, brandishing copies of the paperwork.
“There’s an amendment coming to add some of those names into the contempt order,” he stated.
“You vote to add those names, and show the American people that we apply the law equally ― not just when it’s Democrats…” he added. “Show that you’re serious and that everyone is not above the law. Vote for that amendment, and I’ll vote for the Hunter Biden contempt.”
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy; Reps. Scott Perry (R-Pa.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.); former Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) and Mark Meadows, Donald Trump’s former chief of workers, all ignored subpoenas in the course of the investigation into the Capitol riot.
Biden’s subpoena was in connection to House Republicans’ impeachment investigation into Joe Biden, which has yielded no concrete proof connecting the president to his son’s overseas enterprise dealings.
