House Democrat criticizes Republicans for holding a “ludicrous” Hunter Biden hearing.

Rep. Kweisi Mfume Defends DOJ‌ and IRS, Slams Hearing ⁤on Hunter Biden Investigation

During the​ House Committee ​on Government Oversight and Reform’s⁣ hearing, Rep. Kweisi Mfume (D-MD)⁣ passionately expressed his frustration over the ⁢focus on​ the investigation into​ Hunter Biden, son‌ of President ⁣Joe Biden. ‍Mfume defended the‌ Department of Justice (DOJ),‍ the⁢ FBI,⁤ and‌ the IRS, emphasizing their crucial⁣ role in‍ maintaining democracy.

“Now,⁣ here’s​ what⁣ galls me. I⁣ don’t like‍ these attacks on the ⁤Department of Justice, the FBI,​ the⁢ IRS, as if they are somehow anti-U.S. agencies. Those⁢ agencies keep this democracy in check.‍ … They ‌provide ​the ⁢checks, ‍and⁤ they provide the balances,”

Mfume criticized ‌the‍ hearing as a waste of time, urging ⁢lawmakers to focus on pressing issues affecting the American people.

“We should be talking about​ crime ⁣in America that’s affecting ⁢everybody. ⁤Attacks ‍on women’s health, the economy,‍ budgetary ​issues, public ‍education, ⁣housing, the need ‍for⁣ senior citizens to be able​ to ⁤pay for prescription drugs, child ⁤poverty, ​and‌ mental​ health, to name ‍a few.”

Mfume also‌ took aim at Republicans who sought to ‌reduce resources for the IRS, sarcastically ⁢highlighting‍ their contradictory‍ stance.

“I love the fact ‍that we are ‍so much in⁤ love‌ with the IRS.⁣ In fact, Speaker‍ [Kevin] McCarthy ‌said,⁤ when he⁤ was elected⁣ on the ‍15th ​vote,​ that the first⁤ bill that he would repeal funding for was the bill that would provide for 87,000 additional IRS ⁢employees. My, don’t we love the IRS? ⁣We’re just ⁤gonna cut their⁤ budget.”

The Maryland congressman drew parallels between former President ⁣Donald‍ Trump’s alleged tax​ evasion and Hunter Biden’s ‌tax troubles.

“Let’s just‌ remember, there was a case in ⁤New‌ York not too long ago where our former president also ​got⁢ into trouble regarding payments and regarding a ‌stripper and ⁣was found guilty of a​ violation in civil court.‍ … But I’m grateful that my⁣ colleagues on ⁣the other ⁣side of ‌the aisle‍ are‍ taking, at‍ least, tax evasion very seriously.”

Mfume concluded his remarks by denouncing the hearing as “ludicrous” and symbolically tearing ⁣up ‍his notes.

“We ⁣are⁤ doing‌ this all over again‍ for ‘The Hunter ⁤Biden Show’ to ​someone ⁢who has pleaded ⁤guilty ‍and has taken responsibility for not filing ⁣taxes ⁢for two ‌years.⁤ This is ​ludicrous. Beam me up, Scotty. There’s no intelligent life ⁤down here. None.”

Rep. Kweisi Mfume’s passionate defense⁢ of the ‍DOJ and IRS, along ‍with his criticism‌ of ​the hearing, highlights the ongoing political divide ​surrounding‌ the investigation into⁤ Hunter​ Biden.
