Opinion
Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) eviscerated Hunter Biden after the President’s son crashed his own contempt hearing, suggesting that he should be “arrested right here and right now.”
On Wednesday morning, Hunter made a surprise appearance at a House Oversight Committee hearing in which lawmakers were discussing whether to hold him in contempt for not complying with a subpoena related to his business dealings.
The scene was one of the more shocking we’ve witnessed in politics in an era of non-stop shocking things coming out of Congress.
Hunter’s visit was brief, but he had time to hear Mace absolutely unload on him.
“My first question is, who bribed Hunter Biden to be here today?” she began. “Second question – You are the epitome of white privilege. Coming into the Oversight Committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed. What are you afraid of?”
“You have no balls to come up here …” she asserted before being cut off by Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL).

Hunter Flees After Crashing Congressional Hearing
Moskowitz laughably suggested calling a vote to hear from Hunter, who was in hot water originally for refusing to comply with a subpoena to appear for a closed-door deposition before the House Oversight and Judiciary committees.
Instead of complying, he delivered a public statement outside of the Capitol. Moskowitz suggested it was Republicans who were afraid of Hunter.
After dispatching the Democrat by insisting she be allowed to speak, Mace continued to drag Biden.
“I think that Hunter Biden should be arrested right here and right now and go straight to jail,” Mace demanded, eliciting gasps and cries of dismay from the Democrats.
Hunter didn’t stick around much longer, however. It seems being told you have “no balls” by Mace and then having to endure the wrath of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) right afterwards proved to be too much for the President’s son.
He and his lawyers who had crashed the hearing got up and walked out before Greene could speak.
“Apparently, you’re afraid of my words,” Greene quipped while cries of “awwww” peppered him on his way out the door.
“I think it’s clear and obvious for everyone watching this hearing today that Hunter Biden is terrified of strong conservative Republican women because he can’t even face my words as I was about to speak to him,” Greene said as Hunter scurried away.
“What a coward,” she exclaimed.

The Chaos Continues
As Hunter escaped the chamber, he was enveloped by a sea of reporters, and the chaos that ensued seemed to indicate his stunt may have backfired.
A normally Biden-compliant media began shouting wild questions.
“What kind of crack do you normally smoke Mr. Biden?” one reporter shouted.
Greene slammed the PR stunt by Hunter and his legal team on the X social media platform that was formerly known as Twitter.
“Showing up after he’s broken the law by violating his subpoena is not following the law, Hunter must follow the law!” she wrote. “All Hunter has done is break the law.”
Greene famously used censored sexually explicit nude photos of Hunter as evidence during a whistleblower hearing over the summer. Maybe he didn’t want to see those again.
Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-KY) has previously referred to Hunter’s stunts and attempts to dictate the order of events on his terms as “trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else.”
This wild scene does nothing to quell that assertion.
