House Oversight and Accountability Committee Republican Chairman James Comer and Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz of Florida clashed Thursday over the committee's investigation into the Biden family's overseas business dealings.
of HearingThe report, titled “A Legacy of Incompetence: Consequences of the Biden-Harris Administration's Policy Failures,” quickly devolved into a show of criticism. During the hearing, Moskowitz made remarks aimed at Comer and challenged the merits of the committee's impeachment report.
Tensions rose when Moskowitz pressed him on when the impeachment vote would take place, with Comer responding, “Take your meds and get out,” before retorting, “Mr. Speaker, you're decades older than me, so I know who's taking more meds.”
Moskowitz criticized the overall performance of the 118th Congress, citing the firing of former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California and Republicans' repeated failures to pass a government budget bill.

“The chairman said in a statement that he has produced a 300-page report on impeachment. He said, 'This is the strongest case for impeachment of a sitting president that the House has ever investigated. Wow, this is some pretty serious stuff,'” Moskowitz said.
The report, released in August, accused President Joe Biden of impeachable conduct related to his family's overseas business activities but stopped short of recommending impeachment, Hill said. ReportedMoskowitz urged Comer to push for an actual impeachment vote.
“I want the chairman to show the American people that they didn't waste millions of taxpayer dollars to release this report,” Moskowitz said. “The chairman, the speaker of the House is watching. You can call for impeachment right now.”
“I really like the title of today's hearing, 'A Legacy of Incompetence: The Consequences of the Biden-Harris Administration's Policy Failures.' I made some edits to the title today, so I think the real title is 'A Legacy of Incompetence: The Consequences of Chairman Comer's Territory,' because everything we've had on this committee for the last two years has been failure,” Moskowitz continued. As his time was up, Comer fired back.
“If Joe Biden drops out of the presidential race and his son pleads guilty to corruption, I'd love to take a peek at that scene,” Comer told Moskowitz. (RELATED: House Oversight Chairman Slams White House Physician's Alleged Ties to Biden Family 'Prostitution Scheme')
Despite Moskowitz's taunts, the actual age difference between him and Comer was just over eight years, a fact Moskowitz later acknowledged. post “I think the committee aged him by 10 years,” Moskowitz wrote of X.
