Two House committees voted to approve a contempt of Congress citation for President Biden’s son after he made a surprise appearance on Capitol Hill, prompting bitter partisan fighting.

The day began with a dramatic twist: the unexpected arrival of the younger Biden, who has repeatedly offered to testify publicly in the impeachment inquiry but refused to be interviewed behind closed doors, in the Oversight Committee’s hearing room. Democrats and Republicans immediately began bickering about whether to allow him to be heard.

    They know it doesn’t matter. A criminal contempt citation has to be taken up by the justice department and then tried before a judge.

    That’s not going to happen with this shit:

    “You are the epitome of white privilege, coming into the Oversight Committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed,” Ms. Mace said to Mr. Biden as he sat in the audience. “What are you afraid of? You have no balls.”
