The Republican-led House Oversight and Judiciary Committees are seeking to bring a resolution to hold the president’s son in contempt of congress for defying a subpoena, under which Biden was supposed to appear for a closed-door deposition in mid-December.

Instead of complying with the subpoena, Hunter Biden held a press conference on Dec. 13. on Capitol Hill.

Biden and his legal team have told House Republicans that he is willing to testify before Congress, but only if it is in public — not a closed-door deposition.

Wednesday’s markup hearing became chaotic when Rep. Nancy Mace, (R-S.C.) accused Biden of being “the epitome of white privilege,” and “spitting in our face, ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed.”

Rep. Mace called for Hunter Biden to be arrested on the spot for defying the subpoena.

“What are you afraid of? You have no balls to come up there and –” Rep. Mace said before being interrupted for a point of order by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.).

When House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) recognized Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Hunter Biden stood up and stormed out of the hearing.

As Biden was leaving the hearing, a reporter asked him “Hunter–what’s your favorite kind of crack?” and “are you on crack today?”

A second reporter can be heard asking Hunter Biden why he called his father during meetings with his business partners.

“Do you have a dad? Does he call you? Do you answer the phone?” Hunter responded to the reporter.

Biden told NBC News shortly after leaving the Oversight Committee hearing that he would testify today if asked.

    Pretty much a re-post from The Gateway Pundit. I guess the circus is necessary for Republican face time to get to what we already know, but I’m not holding my breath that any members of the Biden cabal will do prison time.

    1. What’s your favorite kind of crack!?
    How many kinds are there?

    2. @ ME Infidel
    GP is a gay incest site.

  3. ME Infidel on January 10, 2024 6:15 PM

    Red, I appreciate your insider knowledge.

    Fyi, there is pure, synthetic, pink, black, yellow, brown, fish scale, and cocaine hydrochloride according to the Bedrock Recovery Center.

    The Committee Republicans were asked if they would take testimony from Hunter today—they refused. Chair Comer had said previously that Hunter could testify either in public or private but changed his mind after remembering former Secretary of State Clinton eating them alive for 11 hours on national television. If your point is to prove to Americans the guilt of the “Biden Crime Family” why not do it live on national TV? I know why.

    I’d storm out too if some rich white girl called me a rich white boy. I mean. Bitch.

    @ Me Infidel

    1. The gateway pundit founders / editors are two gay brothers. One of them has a Filipino boy husband.
    If you don’t know that you are incredibly sheltered.

    2. I thought crack was just crack.
    It’s interesting that you know so much about crack and nothing about the editors of a gay site you frequent.

    3. Do you know anything about the folks that run this jew incest love site?
    🤔
