James Comer Goes Completely Nuts And Calls Democratic Lawmaker A 'Smurf'

Oversight Committee chairman James Comer completely lost it during a hearing this week when he was challenged by Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz about the loan he made to his brother - the same thing Comer says Biden did with his brother. Comer launched a profane attack on Moskowitz before calling him a "Smurf," an insult that didn't exactly land the way Comer had hoped. But this was actually just one of many insane incidents from Republicans that day, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

An incident occurred this week during a hearing in the House of Representatives on the Oversight Committee, which is chaired by Republican Congressman James Comer, who it was recently revealed, loaned his brother $200,000 that his brother repaid him, and they used a so-called Shell Company according to the reports. Now, the reason that is significant is of course, because James Comer has been going on media outlets, conservative media outlets, talking about, we're investigating President Biden for giving his brother a $200,000 loan that his brother paid back and the loan was given and repaid during a time when President Biden didn't hold any office in the United States. He, he loaned his brother money and his brother paid him back. Ki kind of seems about as innocent as you could imagine, but then it turns out, of course, comer literally did the exact same thing. And so during Monday's hearing and the House Oversight Committee, democratic Congressman Jared Moskowitz decided to take a moment to point out the hypocrisy of Mr.

Comer. Moscowitz said this, I'm happy to yield you some of my time today, Mr. Chairman, because I think you owe it to the American people to explain why you've gone on Fox News and told people while the president was out of office, he had a loan with his brother, and in a way they were evading taxes. It, it's come out in the public that you also do business with your brother with potential loans to which comer responded. I would love it. You retweeted that story. Completely false. I've never loaned my brother one penny. That story that you tweeted also said that I had a shell company That is. I think that the problem is, you know, the White House tried to get CNN to write that story. They, they went around and investigated all this that only dumb financially illiterate people pick up on and said that it was a shell company because it was an LLC.

So first you're like, no, I didn't loan my brother any money. But yeah, we had a Shell company, but it was actually an LLC. So I mean, it's not really a shell company. It was a legitimate company. Nobody said it wasn't legitimate, right? You can file paperwork right now, like there's websites where you can do it. You can fill the stuff out, pay your little fee, and boom, you got a business that technically only exists on paper, but it would be an LLC. You could set it up as an S corp, you can do whatever. I know I've had to do it. Then Moscowitz immediately shot back, said, reclaim my time. Comer said, no, I'm not going to give you your time back. We can stop the clock. You all continue to, you look like a smurf here just going around and all this stuff. Now listen, you look like a smurf, so Moscowitz points out, Hey, you did the same thing. You're accusing Biden of doing and all comer can come back with. Yeah, well, you look like a smurf Now, I I I, I, I'm

Sure people know what Smurfs look like, right? Well, here is Jared Moscowitz, right? Not, not very smurf like, and here's a Smurf. So I mean, I, I don't see the resemblance. According to the reports, Moscowitz was wearing a blue suit that day, so that may be why Comer called him a Smurf. But also Smurf's. Smurfs are blue. They don't wear blue, so you're your attack.
