‘This is bulls***’: Top Republican investigating Biden calls Democrat a ‘liar’ and a ‘SMURF’ for claiming he took out a loan from his brother – like Joe did from James
Chaos broke out at a House hearing on Tuesday after Republican James Comer got into a heated argument with Democrat Jared Moskowitz, who called him a “smurf” and a “liar.”
Insults flew from the hearing room after Moskowitz accused House Speaker James Comer, R-Ky., of hypocrisy amid his ongoing investigation into the Biden family’s finances for examining a $200,000 check for “loan repayment.” that James Biden gave to his brother Joe.
Comer, who is leading the impeachment inquiry into the president, has said that this personal check — and another for $40,000 — directly shows that Joe was aware of and involved in his family’s actions.
Moskowitz pointed to a recent report from the Daily Beast that found Comer may have loaned his own brother $200,000, accusing the chairman of “manipulating” the American people into believing Joe was doing something wrong while doing the exact same thing.
“That is completely incorrect,” Comer responded during Tuesday’s hearing. “It’s completely false: I never lent my brother a cent,” explaining that he bought family land from his brother.
“Only stupid, financially illiterate people picked it up,” he said, referring to the Daily Beast report.
“That story you also tweeted also said I had a shell company – that’s bullshit,” Comer continued.

“I didn’t get any wires from Romania, China…my family doesn’t get any wires,” he said.
“You look like a Smurf, just walking around… spreading misinformation,” Comer continued.
The Oversight Committee has uncovered more than a dozen shell companies set up by members of the Biden family to receive more than $24 million in foreign money — including from China, Romania, Kazakhstan and Ukraine — while Joe was vice president .
The dramatic scene unfolded just hours after former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was accused of pushing a colleague who voted to oust him from the presidency last month.
In the Senate, Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin stood up and challenged a team boss to a fight during a separate hearing.
“Your word means nothing, Mr. Speaker… maybe you should make a statement,” Moskowitz accused back in the House of Representatives.
“You’ve been proven to be a liar before,” Comer spat back.
He invited the Democrat to come to his district in Kentucky and see the country for himself.
“I’ll pay for your ticket,” the Republican teased.
Moskowitz also mocked Comer on X last week after he issued new subpoenas to Hunter Biden, James Biden, business partner Rob Walker and other connected family members at the center of his investigation.
Comer posted a video on X, formerly Twitter, of himself signing the unprecedented subpoena for the president’s son.
Hours later, the Democrat posted a video of himself signing a fake subpoena for Comer himself, which was a shot-for-shot copy of the Republican’s message.
“It has been reported that Comer also lent his brother $200,000. We fully expect James to comply, as will the Trumps,” Moskowitz said on X.
Comer said the check is the strongest evidence yet that the president was directly involved in his family’s business dealings
According to bankruptcy court documents reviewed by DailyMail.com, James Biden took the money from his healthcare company Americore and sent it directly to his brother Joe Biden in 2018.
The documents show that James Biden received $600,000 in loans from Americore in 2018. James was able to receive the loans based on “representations” that his last name, “Biden,” could “open doors.”
On March 1, 2018, Americore transferred a $200,000 loan to James and Sara Biden’s personal bank account.
That same day, James Biden wrote a $200,000 check to “Joseph R. Biden” from his personal account for “loan repayment.” At that time, Joe had already left the position of vice president.
White House spokesman Ian Sams confirmed last week that the check was indeed for loan repayment.
“It’s a loan repayment from when President Biden lent his brother money. When he was out of office in 2018, no less. It’s right there on the check!’ he wrote on X.
However, Sams downplayed its significance, calling the Republicans’ information a “theater of failure” and a “shiny object to distract people from the fact that they are unable to carry out the basic principles of governing.”
