Rep. Comer rips Biden ‘family values’ amid influence peddling

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) ripped President Biden Monday night, accusing the commander-in-chief of giving lip service to “family values” while setting up his son as the “fall guy” for the first family’s multimillion-dollar influence-peddling scheme overseas.

“It’s really sad when Joe Biden tries to portray himself as a family figure,” Comer, 50, said on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime.” “Hunter Biden is terrible, but his dad is the reason … this money didn’t just fall into Hunter Biden’s lap. It’s because of Joe Biden.”

Hunter Biden, 53, agreed last month to a probation-only plea deal, which will see him admit to two tax misdemeanors but let him off from a host of other potential charges, including money laundering and bribery.

The president’s son is also set to dodge a felony firearms charge for lying on a federal gun purchasing form about his drug abuse.

“Just because you’re a crack cocaine addict doesn’t give you the right to take $25 million from foreign nationals and not pay a penny in taxes on it,” Comer said Monday, referring to his committee’s probe of Hunter’s lucrative worldwide business deals.

“To listen to Joe Biden talk about family values or to listen to Joe Biden talk about criminal justice reform, or policy where he wants to hire more IRS employees to go after tax cheats, or have more gun laws to go after people that possess firearms — and his own son pled guilty to two tax evasion charges and one illegal possession of firearms [charge],” Comer added. “I mean, this is a terrible example of leadership in the White House.”

At least nine Biden family members benefited from the foreign arrangements, which involved payments through a series of “shell companies,” the House Oversight Committee revealed through bank records.

The first son also reached a settlement last week with his baby mama Lunden Roberts, which will allow his unacknowledged daughter to receive proceeds from his artwork.

“You mentioned his grandchildren, his other six grandchildren,” Comer said, pointing out Biden’s refusal to acknowledge Hunter’s love child with ex-stripper Lunden Roberts. “Well, one of them is scarred for life because she got hung up in the Biden family influence-peddling. We found out about her through a bank violation called the suspicious activity report. They were funneling money that they were laundering through shell companies down to one of his grandchildren, to try to hide it from being in Joe Biden’s name and to evade taxes.”

“But I will tell you when that poor girl goes to get a mortgage or apply for a credit card, she’s gonna have problems because she has a bank violation, a major bank violation,” added Comer, a former bank director. “She’s always going to have to hire an attorney to help explain the financial situation through probably no fault of her own.”

The House Oversight chair also mentioned previously reported text messages from the now-infamous laptop, in which Hunter said he was forced to give up “half” of his salary to his father — and raged to family members that first lady Jill Biden was an “entitled c–t.”

“Look, I mean, you can see in his text messages what Hunter Biden said about Joe Biden, the first lady, I’m not even gonna keep repeating what he said about her,” Comer said. “But he’s talked bad about his dad, you read one of the texts he wrote to his daughter about how he’s had to keep his family up, and he’s kept his family up, not because he did any work, but because Joe laundered money through shell companies.”
