A House committee this morning discussed a resolution aimed at finding the 50-year-old guilty of obstructing the investigative powers of Congress when he broke into Congress accompanied by his lawyer.
Hunter Biden, who faces two criminal charges including one for tax fraud, is accused by conservatives of making questionable deals in Ukraine and China by exploiting his father's networks and name. He is also criticized by Republicans for refusing to take part in a closed congressional hearing on his financial interests abroad – Hunter Biden is calling for a public hearing.
“The embodiment of white privilege”
“Who bribed Hunter Biden to be here today?” introduced Nancy Mace, Republican-elect from South Carolina. “You are the embodiment of white privilege, coming here before the committee, spitting in our faces and ignoring a parliamentary subpoena that is supposed to be heard. What are you afraid of ? “You have no guts,” she even went so far as to tell the president’s son.
“We can hear it now. Let's vote and listen to Hunter Biden. What are you afraid of ? ” replied a Democratic elected official. Arizona Republican-elect Andy Biggs then intervened, sternly warning his colleagues to stop cutting each other off and acting like “a bunch of idiots.”
Shortly afterwards, as Trump-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene prepared to speak, Hunter Biden left the room. “What a coward,” she commented.
