Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin blasted House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer in a letter Thursday for allowing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to show Hunter Biden’s nude photos during a hearing last week, saying the committee is “rapidly being reduced to the level of a 1970s-era dime store peep show.” Raskin is demanding that Comer deal with it and restore some dignity to the committee with a public rebuke of Greene and “a statement condemning her actions as an affront to the dignity, propriety, and decorum of the Committee.”
“It is incumbent upon you to make clear that Rep. Greene’s use of pornographic images at a public hearing clearly violated House rules and to ensure that we are not subject to repeated incidents or similarly unacceptable actions in future hearings,” Raskin wrote. “If this was acceptable for Rep. Greene, you are establishing it as acceptable for all Members.”
Comer responded predictably by basically telling Raskin to shove it, and then changing the subject. He accused Raskin of trying to spare Hunter Biden embarrassment instead of worrying about “the young women he involved in his illegal activities.” So, yes, consider that an invitation to the rest of the Republicans on Comer’s committee to bring revenge porn to every hearing.
