Recently, Fox News host Jesse Watters cut off co-host Jessica Tarlov in a tense exchange during a segment on “The Five.” The panel was discussing Hunter Biden’s controversial appearance before the House Oversight Committee.
Hunter Biden sparked an uproar from conservatives when he ignored the lawful subpoena to appear before Congress, opting instead to host a press conference in Washington, D.C. The president’s son was blasted for the press conference, which many labeled a publicity stunt.
However, Hunter Biden elected to attend the Oversight Committee’s recent hearing to determine if he should be held in contempt of Congress. The committee ultimately decided to proceed with contempt charges.
“It was like watching The Real Housewives of the House of Representatives because obviously [Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jaime] Raskin [D-Md.] and the Democrats knew what was happening. I wonder what if the Republicans had said, ‘Fine, sit down,” co-host Dana Perino said during the show. “And said, ‘We’ll call a recess. We’ll be right back.’ Go get your ducks in a row and then come back. Like that would have been fascinating,” she continued.
“And just hold up a bank record and said, well, okay, well where did this money come from,” Watters comedically stated as Tarlov attempted to chime in on the discussion. “But Raskin…,” Tarlov tried to say before Watters cut her off, stating, “Jessica, we’ve heard quite enough. Quite enough.”
Following Watters’ remarks, Tarlov appeared visibly annoyed as the show cut to a break. For context, earlier in the show, Tarlov had suggested that Republicans were “embarrassing” themselves and “coming completely unprepared” for Hunter Biden. Watch a clip from the segment below.
Republicans have indicated they have sufficient evidence to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress. Rep. James Comer recently commented on the substantive evidence their investigations have unearthed. “Our investigation has produced significant evidence suggesting President Biden knew of, participated in, and benefited from his family cashing in on the Biden name,” Comer said. “We planned to question Hunter Biden about this record of evidence during our deposition, but he blatantly defied two lawful subpoenas.”
Mace began questioning Hunter Biden, however, the hearing quickly descended into chaos. “My first question is, who bribed Hunter Biden to be here today? That’s my first question,” Mace said. “Second question, you are the epitome of white privilege coming into the oversight committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed. What are you afraid of? You have no balls to come up here.”
“I think that Hunter Biden should be arrested right here, right now. Go straight to jail,” Mace added. “Our nation is founded on the rule of law. The law applies equally to everyone, no matter what your last name.” She went on, “It does not matter who you are, where you come from, or who your father is, or your last name. Yes, I’m looking at you, Hunter Biden, as I’m speaking to you. You are not above the law at all.”
