This week, Biggs called for an investigation into the First Lady because he seems to think that she has somehow been paid off by China because a college that she has no affiliation with received money from the country - which is actually fairly common at American universities. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins talks about these deranged accusations.

Republican Congressman Andy Biggs from Arizona has launched a new conspiracy theory about Dr. Jill Biden because Andy Biggs doesn't understand very basic things including how to use Google. So here is what Andy Biggs posted this week. The Biden family highly concerns me, Joe Hunter and even Dr. Jill. And he put doctor in quotes cuz he's an. They are compromised and must be investigated. He then went on to tweet Biden, stole classified documents and stored them at his think tank while he was vp. The VP does not have any authority to declassify classified documents and this think tank received 54 million in funding from the C C P, which is the Chinese Communist Party. Wow. When you say it that way, then yeah, it makes it seem like everybody in the Biden clan is, is corrupt. But by saying it that way, you're also lying about literally every single thing that happened there.
Because here's the thing, the think tank you're referring to, where they found the documents is in DC the think tank that you're referring to that got the $54 million from the Chinese Communist Party that's in Pennsylvania. It's a actually at the University of Pennsylvania. Um, two totally different things. And that's not even a Biden think tank, it's just named after him. It is the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, which did receive 54.6 million from 2014 through 2019 and donations from China. But those were gifts to the University of Pennsylvania, not necessarily to the think tank itself that is housed there and just named after President Biden. So to unravel Andy Biggs complicated way of thinking here, Jill Biden, Dr. Jill Biden, first lady, Dr. Jill Biden is somehow compromised because her husband had documents at a think tank in DC from when he was vice president. And also there's a think tank in Pennsylvania named after Biden that may have gotten some money from China after China gave money to the University of Pennsylvania, which of course in Andy Bigg's mind means First Lady, Dr. Joe Biden is compromised. This is the level of crazy that we're dealing with on the other side. This is the kind of thing that we now have to waste our time talking about how stupid it is instead of talking about real news of the day. And you know why we have to talk about this? Because if you go through the comments on Andy Big's tweet, you will see the Republicans there agreeing with him. You will see that the
Republicans replying to it are shocked to learn this stuff even though they're not learning anything that's actually real. They're being lied to by Biggs, but none of them have enough sense to go out there and search for it themselves and see what really happened. That's why we have to do this and it is infuriating. I get it guys. You don't like Biden. I get it. You don't like Hunter Biden? Okay fine. Dr. Jill Biden, first Lady of the United States, like what the hell do you have against her? What has she done? She hasn't gone out there and made a spectacle of herself the way Melania did. She's not telling kids to eat their vegetables like Michelle Obama did. That y'all off. Dr. Jill's not even doing that crap. Which by the way is good that Michelle Obama did that. Like she was very involved with the kids and outreach and things like that. She was amazing as a first lady.
