Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) took out Hunter Biden after the president's son stormed his contempt hearing, suggesting he should be “arrested here and now.”
On Wednesday morning, Hunter made a surprise appearance at a House Oversight Committee hearing, as lawmakers were debating whether to hold him in contempt of court for failing to comply with a subpoena related to his business dealings.
This was one of the most shocking scenes we have seen in politics in an era of constant shocking things coming out of Congress.
Hunter's visit was short, but he had time to hear Mace completely unload.
“My first question is, who bribed Hunter Biden to be here today?” I started. “Question two – you are the epitome of white privilege. He comes to the Oversight Committee, spits in our faces, and ignores a congressional subpoena for his impeachment. What are you afraid of?”
“You don't have any balls to get up here…” she asserted before Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) interrupted.

Hunter goes on the run after crashing a congressional hearing
Moskowitz laughably suggested calling a vote to hear from Hunter, who was already in hot water for refusing to comply with a subpoena to appear before the House Oversight and Judiciary committees.
Instead of complying, he made a public statement outside the Capitol. Moskowitz pointed out that Republicans are the ones who are afraid of Hunter.
After dismissing the Democrat by insisting she be allowed to speak, Mace continued to drag Biden.
“I believe Hunter Biden should be arrested here and now and sent directly to prison,” Mace said, drawing gasps and cries of horror from Democrats.
But Hunter didn't last much longer. Apparently being told “you have no balls” by Mace and then having to endure the wrath of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) immediately afterward proved too much for the president's son.
He and his lawyers, who stormed the hearing, got up and walked out before Green could speak.
“Apparently, you're afraid of my words,” Green joked as cries of “awww” peppered his way out the door.
“I think it's clear and obvious to everyone watching this hearing today that Hunter Biden is terrified of powerful conservative Republican women because he can't even face my words when I'm about to speak to him,” Greene said as Hunter hurried away.
“What a coward,” she exclaimed.

The chaos continues
When Hunter fled the room, he was surrounded by a sea of reporters, and the ensuing chaos seemed to indicate that his ruse may have backfired.
The media, usually aligned with Biden, began asking wild questions.
“What kind of crack do you usually smoke, Mr. Biden?” one reporter shouted.
Green Criticize the PR stunt By Hunter and his legal team on the X social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
“Showing up after he broke the law by violating his subpoena is not following the law, and Hunter must follow the law!” I wrote. “All Hunter did was break the law.”
Greene famously used censored, sexually explicit nude photos of Hunter as evidence during a whistleblower hearing over the summer. Maybe he didn't want to see them again.
Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) previously referred to Hunter's stunts and attempts to dictate the order of events on his terms as “trying to play by his own rules rather than following the rules required of everyone else.”
This wild scene does nothing to suppress this assertion.
