House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer lambasted a Democratic lawmaker as a “liar” and a “Smurf” during a contentious Tuesday hearing after Comer’s own family finances came under scrutiny.
Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) provoked Comer (R-Ky.) by demanding he publicly explain a financial transaction involving his brother.
“You also do business with your brother with potential loans. And so, since you have framed that and manipulated that with the American people, that Joe Biden did something wrong when he wasn’t in office, I just would like to know if you would like to use some of my time,” Moskowitz said.
Comer (R-Ky.) eagerly obliged, suggesting that characterizing a $218,000 payment he made to his brother Chad as a “loan” is “completely false.”
“I’ve never loaned my brother one penny,” Comer explained. “My father, who was a dentist, had some farmland. He died and my brother couldn’t afford it. He wanted to sell it but he wanted to keep it in the family. So I bought it from my brother.”
Smurf on America’s TURF !!!!
