Jimmy Kimmel Burns Marjorie Taylor Greene Over Awkward 'Porn' Moment
Jimmy Kimmel said Wednesday’s House Oversight Committee hearing took a wild turn when Hunter Biden showed up to listen as lawmakers debated holding him in contempt for defying a subpoena.
“It was like C-SPAN meets ‘The Maury Povich Show,’” Kimmel said, adding that Republican lawmakers went into a “full-blown tizzy.”
House Republicans have ordered the president’s son to testify before the committee. He has agreed to do so in a public hearing, but GOP lawmakers only want his testimony behind closed doors.
Biden walked out as right-wing conspiracy theorist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) began railing against him. When she said she had “information for the record” to enter, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) objected, noting that Greene had previously “displayed pornography” in committee meetings, referring to when she brought in Hunter Biden dick pics.
“It’s not pornography,” Greene said.
“You’re the expert,” Raskin shot back.
“That is what is known as a burn,” Kimmel observed.
