The Texas Democrat ripped Republicans for voting to formally authorize a probe into impeachment of the president.
LOADINGERROR LOADING. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) tore apart Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) and House Republicans for their efforts to advance an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden despite lacking evidence of wrongdoing.. Crockett criticized the House GOP on Wednesday as she referred to ousted former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who announced an impeachment inquiry without a vote formally authorizing such an effort back in September..

We don’t need a vote on the impeachment inquiry. So now, all of a sudden, you need a vote? Tell me, what’s changed?”. GOP lawmakers have expressed hopes that formally authorizing the impeachment inquiry will strengthen their ability to enforce subpoenas.. Crockett: The math ain’t mathin especially when you consider the fact that the previous Speaker, and who knows how many Speakers we’re going to have.. the previous Speaker said we don’t need a vote. So now all of the sudden you do need a vote? What changed? pic.twitter.com/JSItgW5u6R. — Acyn (@Acyn) December 13, 2023. Advertisement. Crockett, elsewhere in remarks outside of the U.S. Capitol building, declared that Comer “loves to say the quiet part out loud” as she referred to Hunter Biden defying a subpoena from House Republicans.. The president’s son knocked the GOP demand for a private deposition, calling for transparency so Americans can see Republicans’ “tactics” to “expose their baseless inquiry” in order to hear what he has to say.. “As we were sitting in that room with an empty chair, it’s amazing how quiet Comer was,” Crockett noted of the Kentucky Republican, who has argued against Biden’s demand for a public hearing.. “Now he goes on Faux News and everybody else and he has a lot to say… he decided that he wanted to go on the news and he wanted to say that he didn’t want Hunter Biden to testify publicly because he didn’t want us to have an opportunity to engage in questioning. Now you tell me if that’s what democracy looks like.”. Crockett: Comer goes on Faux News and he has a lot to say… Comer decided to say that he didn’t want Hunter Biden to testify publicly because he didn’t want us to have an opportunity to engage in questioning. pic.twitter.com/wRGKQ1wwhk. — Acyn (@Acyn) December 13, 2023.
