'You look like a Smurf!' James Comer erupts after he's called out on dealings with brother
November 14, 2023
Rep. James Comer (R-KY) angrily rejected questions during a House Oversight Committee meeting Tuesday about his business dealings involving his brother.
Reporting earlier this month showed the Kentucky Republican and his brother had engaged in land swaps involving their family farming business, which Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) mockingly compared to Comer's allegations last week about business transactions involving President Joe Biden and his brother.
Comer angrily denied his transactions involved shell companies or questionable practices – which on Tuesday he called "bulls--t" written by "financial illiterate people."
"You look like a Smurf in here, going around in all this stuff," Comer said.
The two lawmakers then sparred back and forth, angrily interrupting one another.

"Mr. Chairman, you have gone on TV and said the president did something illegal," Moskowitz said, as Comer talked over him. "You're doing stuff with your brother, the American people have the same questions. Why should they believe you? Is there a different rule for the president, is there a different rule for you? Why should they believe what you're saying, Mr. Chairman? You go on Fox News and say loans and deals are ways to evade taxes, we don't know what you're doing."
"You go on Fox News," Comer countered.
Moskowitz again said the public deserved to know the truth about Comer's business dealings, saying the reports had raised troubling questions, and Comer attacked his credibility.
"You've already been proven a liar," Comer said.
"Who's proven me a liar, you?" Moskowitz replied, and Comer said yes.
Comer said an opposition research team was recording video back in his hometown, and he invited Moskowitz to join them.
"This seems to have gotten under your skin," Moskowitz said. "I think the American people have questions, and you should maybe sit for a deposition."
