The GOP’s obsession with former President Joe Biden exhibits no indicators of letting up. After Rep. James Comer’s 15-month impeachment investigation throughout Biden’s presidency failed spectacularly, the chair of the Home Oversight Committee has now latched on to a conspiracy principle pushed by fellow Biden stalker Donald Trump again in March.
“Some of these bureaucrats, these unnamed bureaucrats in the White House were using the autopen to sign Joe Biden’s name on very important things like pardons and like executive orders,” Comer babbled to Fox Information on Thursday.
Comer’s proof consists of “whistleblowers in the administration” and Jake Tapper’s new e book, which claims the now-82-year-old Biden was considerably impaired throughout his closing months in workplace.
“It raises a lot of questions as to, what was the decision process and who was forging,” Comer mentioned. “Because if Joe Biden wasn’t authorizing, someone was forging his name on some very important documents.”
The inspiration of this newest “investigation” is identical conspiracy principle Trump himself promoted when he claimed Biden was incapacitated whereas president as a result of he used an autopen—a tool presidents have used for many years to signal paperwork remotely. Lower than 24 hours after pushing this principle, Trump himself admitted to utilizing an autopen whereas in workplace.
That is simply the newest instance of Trump and the GOP’s endless beef with Biden. Following the previous president’s announcement of his Stage 4 prostate most cancers analysis, Home Republicans launched an investigation into the previous president’s well being whereas in workplace in an extra try to beat that lifeless horse.
Republican lawmakers’ fixation on all issues Joe mirrors their cult chief’s preoccupation with the person he misplaced to in 2020. Simply final month, Trump even used the passing of former President Jimmy Carter as a chance to insult Biden.
Comer’s repeated failures to show the existence of a shadowy Biden household crime syndicate solely highlighted how the Kentucky congressman did the precise issues he accused Biden of doing. Even after Biden dropped out of the race and Trump gained the presidential election in November, Comer saved pushing his evidence-free investigation, telling Newsmax he needed to proceed it.
Relating to being the goal of a petty vendetta, it appears Biden’s biggest mistake was being the final president since Barack Obama to win greater than 50% of the favored vote.
