Former Rep. David Jolly (R-Fla.) didn’t must say a lot to summarize his ideas on his former House GOP colleagues.
The lawmaker-turned-political commentator spoke to MSNBC’s Joy Reid on Thursday concerning the social gathering’s strikes this week to carry Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress for failing to adjust to a subpoena.
As Reid identified, a number of GOP lawmakers ignored congressional subpoenas through the Jan. 6 investigation, together with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who chairs the House Judiciary Committee. They confronted little penalties for doing so.
The judiciary and oversight committees permitted contempt resolutions towards Biden Wednesday, organising an eventual vote on the chamber flooring.
“How can you say … we want you to comply with our subpoenas, when we ourselves don’t comply with subpoenas?” Reid requested.
“It’s the Republicans,” Jolly replied, including: “Hypocrisy is their currency.”
Hunter Biden confirmed up unexpectedly to Wednesday’s Oversight Committee listening to, successfully highlighting that he had beforehand provided to adjust to the subpoena to testify — however provided that he might achieve this publicly. Republicans had declined the supply.
