Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., a member of the House Oversight Committee
, taunted committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., as well as Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, to hold a vote on impeaching President Biden, claiming they would do so if they had truly found enough evidence he committed high crimes and misdemeanors.
The exchange happened during Moskowitz’s allotted time to question the committee’s witnesses, in which he began by asking former Hunter Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski if he felt Biden had committed high crimes and misdemeanors and should be impeached.
«I believe with all the evidence he’s gathered, yes, he’s proven that Joe Biden has committed high crimes and misdemeanors,» Bobulinski said.
«Okay. And so I assume you believe Joe Biden should be impeached,» Moskowitz then asked.
«Well, that’s up to you guys,» Bobulinski responded before later saying he did believe Biden should be impeached after being pressed by Moskowitz.
Moskowitz then asked if he felt Comer and Jordan had proven Biden committed high crimes and misdemeanors.
«I know that he committed high crimes and misdemeanors. I was involved and saw them happen,» Bobulinski responded.
«I assume you believe he should be impeached. But my my point is that the chairman has not yet moved for that. And so look, chairman, we got we got like three and a half minutes here. I mean, let’s just do the impeachment,» Moskowitz asked facetiously.
«I mean, why continue to waste millions of dollars of the taxpayers money if we’re going to impeach because you believe you’ve shown he’s committed a high crime and misdemeanor?» he added.
Moskowitz went on to mockingly motion for a vote, asking Jordan or Comer to second that vote, but neither did.
Jordan retorted that the committees under Republican leadership don’t do «snap impeachments,» referencing the one Democrats undertook against then-President Donald Trump in 2019.
Moskowitz continued to taunt the chairmen until his five minutes expired.
