Dems use 'parade of embarrassments' in Biden probe to tar and feather House Republicans

25 January 2024

When Republicans recaptured the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2022 midterms, Democrats argued that their small majority would launch frivolous Hunter Biden investigations rather than focus on issues that affect the quality of Americans' lives such as health care, job creation and the environment. And the GOP's House majority, as they predicted, has been aggressively probing Hunter Biden's business activities and may impeach his father, President Joe Biden.

But the Daily Beast's Riley Rogerson, in an article published on January 25, reports that House Democrats, rather than feeling intimidated, are responding to the probes with brutal mockery and slamming them as a joke.

One of those Democrats is Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Florida), who told the Daily Beast, "They've decided to turn it into Cirque Du Soleil Oversight where literally, it's just a total show. If that is the game that they are going to play, then game on."

Rogerson cites Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), Rep. Dan Goldman (D-New York), Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Florida), Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) and Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pennsylvania) as other examples of House Democrats who have "torn into Republican rhetoric" during the Bidens-related probes and are "exposing their puffery as political theater."

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) described House Democrats who have been forcefully pushing back against these anti-Bidens theatrics as "the Truth Squad."

Raskin told the Daily Beast, "I was basically looking for extremely hardworking, detail-oriented members who know how to throw a punch in the media. Because I knew exactly what we would be up against."

Rogerson notes that even some House Republicans consider Rep. James Comer's (R-Kentucky) anti-Bidens efforts a waste of time.

A House Republican who was interviewed by The Messenger on condition of anonymity complained, "It's been a parade of embarrassments."
