During the first hearing of the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene was interrupted for a specific request – to not show pornography.

Ms Greene said at the House Oversight Committee hearing, “It is sad that my Democratic colleagues pretend to care about women’s rights while allowing Hunter Biden to exploit women.” She was holding up a blown-up photo of a plane ticket and a photo of a nearly-naked woman for whom Hunter Biden allegedly purchased the ticket.

    So, do they have any proof that Joe Biden has done anything or are they just pretending that Joe and Hunter are the same person?

      The point is to discredit the whole impeachment process. “Oh, the other side always tries to impeach. It’s just political theater.” In order to minimize the fact that Trump was impeached for actual crimes.

      They don’t intend to be successful, they intend to give people an excuse to say “BoTh SiDeS!” The next time a republican is in office and gets impeached for actual crimes.

      They intentionally keep saying “Biden”, talking about Hunter but with the intent that people will take it as Joe. They got called out for it but like that would stop them.

      It’s especially rich coming from the side that’s so horribly overtly corrupt and well known for cronyism and nepotism.

      They basically don’t have proof of anything. They are just doing political theater to distract from the issues they are causing.

      Like the shutdown…

      No. Yes.

      WASHINGTON — The House Oversight Committee on Thursday convened its first hearing in the GOP’s impeachment inquiry, presenting a panel of Republican-picked witnesses who said while there is no evidence of a crime by President Joe Biden, more bank records are needed from him and his son Hunter Biden to determine if there might be.

    Perhaps wishing that she was the nearly-naked woman.

    I think MTG wants him.

    MTG strikes me as the kind of person who absentmindedly starts staring when farm animals go at it

    Her apparent needing to be reminded multiple times to not bring literal revenge porn into political discussions is not helping this image in my mind

    while allowing Hunter Biden to exploit women

    Why is the US House Oversight Committee resposible for the behavior of a private citizen?

      You forgot the best part:

      She was holding up a blown-up photo of a plane ticket and a photo of a nearly-naked woman for whom Hunter Biden allegedly purchased the ticket.

      OK so caring about women’s rights is displaying huge private pictures of women without their consent. Got it, thanks Marjorie!

    How come the Christian Nationalist Protect The Children Party can’t stop showing porn or giving handjobs in public?
