“This contempt vote is MAGA Republicans' desperate attempt to save face following their many failed investigations, including the one about Hunter Biden's laptop. Do you all remember that? They promised Trump and the American people that they would impeach President Biden, but after spending more than $20 million investigating conspiracy theories, MAGA Republicans have nothing to show for it. This do-nothing Congress can't pass legislation to help the American people and also can't prove any wrongdoing by President Biden. They are running out of time and they are desperate. Plus, their own Presidential candidate Donald Trump just became a convicted felon according to a jury of his peers. MAGA Republicans are trying to shift the blame to someone else. Even though the Justice Department produced more than 92,000 pages of documents and made dozens of witnesses available, Republicans have made Attorney General Garland their scapegoat. This is a farce, and the American people can see right through it. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would remind members to refrain from engaging in personalities toward presumptive nominees for the Office of the President. Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Kiley), my colleague and neighbor.”
