However, they have collectively produced nothing but humiliation for Republicans as their attempts to malign Biden inevitably backfired due to their brazen dishonesty. Their own witnesses ended up testifying that Biden had done nothing remotely untoward that would justify impeachment. In fact, their ineptitude has been so flagrant that even Fox News noticed&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=59248\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WHOA! Peter Doocy of Fox News Reports that the GOP Failed to Find Any Evidence to Impeach Biden<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the committees currently harassing Biden is the Oversight Committee, chaired by GOP fabulist James Comer. In a recent interview on CNN Comer was made a laughingstock by Jake Tapper for his absurd assertions that Hunter Biden was indicted in order to protect him and cover up something or other&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Comer: My concern is that he indicted Hunter Biden to protect him<\/p>\n<p>Tapper: Ahh yes, he indicted him to protect him <\/p>\n<p>Comer: This whole thing has been about a coverup<\/p>\n<p>Tapper: He indicted him to cover it up? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ws5XIRwes1\">pic.twitter.com\/ws5XIRwes1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Acyn (@Acyn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acyn\/status\/1733249591712133606?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 8, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Following that fiasco, Comer scampered off to Newsmax where he expected to get a much more friendly reception. And in point of fact, he did. However, Comer is such a nimrod that he botched the softballs lobbed at him. The Newsmax host, Rob Finnerty, brought up Tapper&#8217;s interview and gave Comer an opportunity to clean it up&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Finnerty:<\/strong> &#8220;He&#8217;s making your investigation sound like a joke, and he&#8217;s trying to make you look like a joke. And then half of America sees that and they think your investigation is a joke. How do you work around that?<br \/>\n<strong>Comer:<\/strong> Well, that&#8217;s the first time I went on CNN in three months. We thought we would give it a try. You know, Jake Tapper is an intelligent guy, but he&#8217;s playing to a low IQ audience. CNN is hemorrhaging viewers every day. And Jake&#8217;s doing what he&#8217;s told by his bosses at CNN, who are doing what they&#8217;re told by their bosses at the Democrat National Committee. CNN is a wholly owned unprofitable subsidiary of the Democrat National Committee.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Newsmax host to James Comer on Jake Tapper: &quot;He&#39;s making your investigation sound like a joke, and he&#39;s trying to make you look like a joke. And then half of America see that and they think your investigation is a joke.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Comer replies, &quot;he&#39;s playing to a low IQ audience.&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RkRHbxJibt\">pic.twitter.com\/RkRHbxJibt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atrupar\/status\/1734245054930174146?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 11, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So Comer&#8217;s first response is to note that he has been too afraid of being interviewed on CNN for the past three months. Then he praises Tapper, but insults the IQ of his audience. Never mind that the IQ of the Newsmax audience has be be considerably lower considering they have fully adopted the crackpot conspiracy theories of QAnon and still support Donald Trump, the twice-impeached, pathological liar, who is facing 91 felony charges, and has been adjudicated as a financial fraudster and rapist.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, while CNN&#8217;s audience has declined, so has almost every other cable news network in the era of cord-cutting and streaming. And Newsmax trails Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN, by significant margins. That may have something to do with the fact that it is a <em>&#8220;wholly owned unprofitable subsidiary&#8221;<\/em> of the Trump Cult, aka the Republican National Committee.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most striking thing about Comer&#8217;s response to being made to look like a joke, is that in his entire reply he never disagreed with it. He admitted his fear of CNN, his low opinion of their audience, and his ignorance of the cable news business. But he didn&#8217;t bother to dispute the contention that he and his probe of Biden looked like a joke. Because&#8230; how could he? What with all the laughter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=59129\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GOP and Fox News Oppose Public Testimony By Hunter Biden Because Then They Can\u2019t Lie About It<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=59172\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Speaker Mike Johnson Gives Fox News His Utterly Phony \u2018Straightforward Facts\u2019 to Impeach Biden<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=58954\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GOP Speaker Admits the Purpose of the Biden Impeachment Inquiry is to Hurt Biden Politically<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Republican Party in the House of Representatives is preparing to vote on whether to initiate a formal impeachment inquiry for President Biden, despite not having been able to produce a single shred of evidence of any wrongdoing after years of frantic digging.
