Republican chairman faces backlash during House hearing over Biden corruption allegations: ‘You need therapy!’

A House hearing on Joe Biden’s potential impeachment turned into a chaotic showdown between Republican chairman James Comer and Democratic congressman Jamie Raskin. The heated exchange saw both politicians accusing each other of needing therapy.

The hearing, part of the ongoing Republican inquiry into Mr. Biden, focused on allegations of corruption and bribery related to the president’s family business dealings with foreign powers. Despite the lack of evidence of wrongdoing by the president, the inquiry has persisted.

During the hearing, Mr. Raskin challenged Mr. Comer on the lack of concrete evidence to support the impeachment claims, leading to a series of tense exchanges between the two congressmen. The clash escalated to personal attacks, with Mr. Comer accusing Mr. Raskin and the Democrats of being obsessed with Russia and Trump, while Mr. Raskin fired back, accusing Mr. Comer of needing therapy for his association with the former president.

The disagreements continued to escalate, with Mr. Comer demanding his time be restored and making trivial mistakes like referring to Mr. Raskin as “Mr. Raskins.” The hearing culminated in Mr. Raskin questioning the legitimacy of the impeachment inquiry and criticizing the GOP’s focus on false allegations.

The president’s refusal to testify in the impeachment probe further fueled the tensions, with his attorney dismissing the investigation as baseless and debunked. The clash between the two congressmen highlights the deep political divide in Washington and the ongoing battle over the impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
