A shocking congressional hearing turned into must-see TV on Wednesday as Hunter Biden, the scandal-plagued son of President Joe Biden, stormed out of the room in a fiery fit after being confronted about his decision to skip out on a previously scheduled testimony. The House Oversight Committee, packed to the gills with eager spectators, was abuzz with excitement as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) finally had her chance to grill Hunter, only to have him scamper out of the room like a scared rabbit.

MTG Makes Hunter Biden STORM OUT Of Contempt Hearing: 'You're Afraid Of My Words?'https://t.co/bjHixTIlv2

Video footage of the dramatic exit shows Hunter and his team of lawyers abruptly standing up and making a hasty retreat just as Rep. Greene prepared to unleash a verbal assault. The Georgia lawmaker, known for her no-nonsense approach, didn’t miss a beat and taunted Hunter as he skedaddled out the door, calling him a “coward” and questioning his fear of her piercing words.
The committee’s hearing was convened to weigh a resolution backing contempt of Congress charges against Hunter, who had snubbed an earlier invitation to testify about his murky business dealings overseas. Instead of facing the music at the hearing, Hunter previously opted for a dramatic press conference outside Congress where he vented his frustrations at Republicans for tarnishing his good name. Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) had made it crystal clear that Hunter’s defiance would not go unpunished, which ultimately led to the courtroom showdown.
As Hunter sat in the audience flanked by his attorney Abbe Lowell, the tension in the room was palpable as everyone anticipated Rep. Greene’s relentless questioning about his obstruction. Hunter had been adamant that he refused to testify publicly because the committee leadership wouldn’t allow it, but Rep. Comer had promised a future public hearing while insisting the initial testimony take place behind closed doors.
Meanwhile, insiders at the White House are struggling to rein in Hunter’s brazen public outbursts. Former press secretary Jen Psaki minced no words when she appeared on MSNBC, bluntly admitting that Hunter’s antics were doing more harm than good to his father’s reelection prospects. The exasperated Psaki emphasized the urgency of silencing Hunter, pointing out that his loose lips were a liability to the Biden family’s political ambitions.
Even within the hallowed halls of the White House, reports have surfaced of President Biden’s fiery tempers, with whispers of regret over seeking a second term. If it weren’t for Hunter’s legal troubles on charges of tax fraud and gun possession, the president is said to believe that his reelection bid would have been smooth sailing.
