'Swing and a miss': Critics pan James Comer's latest Biden 'bombshell'

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) on Monday unveiled another purported "bombshell" revelation of corruption by President Joe Biden — but critics say that, like many of his past efforts, this one failed to live up to the hype.

At issue is a series of payments made by Hunter Biden's business, Owasco PC, to President Joe Biden back in 2018.

Because this business received payments from China, Comer has insinuated that this is evidence that Biden is taking direct bribes through his son from the Chinese government.

However, independent journalist Yashar Ali notes that the three payments of $1,380 each to Biden are simply repayments of a loan that Biden gave to his son to pay for a truck during a time when he was low on cash.

Additionally, these payments were reported by the New York Post well over a year ago and are not new information.

Comer critics were quick to pounce after seeing that his latest hyped-up Biden bombshell appeared to be another dud.

"Big ol’ swing and a miss," commented national security attorney Bradley Moss.

"I don't think fronting a son money for a truck is an impeachable offense," joked Mother Jones' David Corn. "Another swing and a miss."

Aaron Fritschner, the Deputy Chief of Staff for Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA), delivered a similarly scathing assessment of Comer's latest work.

"If the Comer investigation was actually finding new evidence of scandal would they be posting siren emojis above videos 'breaking news' of old debt repayments that the Republicans already got written up 18 months ago in the New York Post?" he asked rhetorically. "Nope!"
