Amidst a House Committee hearing on Defending America from the Chinese Community Party’s Political Warfare, tensions flared between Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) over the impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
The dispute began as Raskin criticized Republicans for accusing President Biden of accepting bribes, claiming it had been disproven. Comer countered by questioning why Biden’s alleged wealth and business dealings, especially in light of concerns regarding payments to the Biden family from countries like China and Ukraine.

The exchange grew heated as the two representatives traded jabs about the need for therapy, with Comer accusing Democrats of having an “obsession” with former President Trump and Russia. Raskin, in turn, suggested that Comer was the one who needed therapy.
The back-and-forth continued as Comer pressed Raskin to explain how the Bidens amassed their wealth, while Raskin attributed it to Biden’s book deals and post-senatorial earnings.
The contentious nature of the hearing underscored the deep partisan divide regarding the allegations against President Biden and reflected broader tensions surrounding the geopolitical and domestic policies related to China and the ongoing scrutiny of the Biden family’s financial activities.
