WASHINGTON, DC: In an interview on Newsmax's 'Wake Up America' program on Friday, January 12, the Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace expressed her thoughts regarding Hunter Biden crashing the House Oversight Committee's hearing on January 10.

The South Carolina lawmaker said, "I was a bit seething with rage that morning. I was angry. We were caught off guard. We weren't told that he was going to show up."

Notably, President Joe Biden's son unexpectedly appeared at the Oversight Committee hearing regarding whether to hold him in contempt of Congress along with his attorney lawyer, Abbe Lowell, and close associate, Kevin Morris.



 

The GOP-led House was not happy with his presence as Mace blasted, labeling him an "epitome of white privilege." Adding to the chaos, Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene, for a second time, displayed Hunter's explicit photos, accusing him of sex trafficking.

He left the room abruptly when Greene was called to speak on the resolution, dubbing him a "coward," following which reporters and political operatives followed him in the hallways of the Rayburn House Office Building.

Launching a scathing attack on Hunter's unexpected arrival for the House hearing, Mace said, "It was a massive PR stunt. He had movie film cameras there."

Reiterating her claims, she added, "This is just a game for him and the Biden family. It mocks the institution, and it is completely wrong."

Mace also slammed the "hypocrisy," saying Hunter should have been arrested for defying the congressional subpoena.

She noted, "I believe he should have been arrested…because if this were any other American…if they defied a congressional subpoena, if they shut up and spit in the face of Congress, mocked the institution and did not sit for the deposition, would not go through with the congressional subpoena, they would be thrown in jail."

The South Carolina Rep claimed that having the last name "Biden" offered a different legal status.

One remarked, "The meeting was open to the public. It’s his right to attend," while another said, "what she means is she didn’t have time to let her assistants come up with talking points to use on camera."

"Nancy Mace seems to have an Anger Management problem. Imagine if something serious actually happened...," noted a person, with someone else claiming, "Nancy Mace just wants to be on TV."

A confused individual expressed, "They are angry when he doesn't show up...and angry when he do. There is no pleasing them, is there?"

One user observed, "It appears that they don't want to hear from the guy they're accusing. Why?" 

"'Seething with rage'??? Isn't that what they asked him to do? They were having a hearing about his appearance in front of the committee--and he appeared," opined a person. 

Another remarked, "Seething? It looked like it was open to the public of which he qualifies."
