Going after the "Biden Crime Family" is costing House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) and his family dearly — so he's passing around a figurative collection plate in the form of an email to raise support.
The Washington Post's columnist Philip Bump did read it, then knocked Comer for its "broad strokes". Bump's focuses on Comer's platitudes to win over readers, with the congressman going so far as to say that he and his family are "being put through this," without explaining "what the 'this' is.”
“I’ve presented mountains of evidence confirming Joe Biden’s involvement in his family’s influence-peddling scheme," his email reads. "And I just had a group of the Biden family’s business confidants publicly testify about the first family’s criminal activity.”
But Bump fact-checked Comer.
"None of that is true, including the part about the 'group' of 'confidants'," he wrote.
Bump states Comer merely "chaired a hearing involving two people who had worked briefly with members of Biden’s family."
“At any other time in history,” his email adds, “that would have been the final nail in the coffin of the Biden Crime Family’s reign of corruption.”
Bump fact check: "If what he wrote had been true, perhaps," he writes. "But it wasn’t."
“When President Trump returns to the White House it’s critical the new leadership at the DOJ have everything they need to prosecute the Biden Crime Family and deliver swift justice.”
Bump review: “Comer joins with Trump to threaten retribution.”
