James Comer 'melted like a little snowflake' when cornered by Hunter Biden: Morning Joe

Reflecting on the press conference Hunter Biden gave outside of the U.S. Capitol this week, where he made it clear he has no problem being deposed by Republicans as long as it is done in public for all the country to see, "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough claimed the president's son is winning the public relations war with his GOP adversaries.

Speaking to reporters, Hunter Biden stated, "For six years, I have been the target of the unrelenting Trump attack machine shouting 'Where's Hunter?' Well, here is my answer: I am here. Here I am, Mr. Chairman, taking you up on your offer when you said, 'We can bring these people in for depositions or committee hearings, whichever they choose.'"

According to MSNBC's Scarborough, Republicans are afraid to confront Hunter Biden in public and House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) in particular is over his head.

Punchbowl News founder John Bresnahan then chimed in to say that Democrats "need to push back against this and say there is no real evidence that Joe Biden did anything wrong. I think the White House has done, you know — you could say what you want about Hunter Biden, I mean, that scene the other day was extraordinary, I haven't seen anything like it in my time, but, you know, they need to push back on this harder. So I do think it's interesting that these swing district Republicans found that there's no real downside for them voting for an inquiry."

"Well, you know, two things: I'm so glad you brought up Hunter's press conference the other day," Scarborough replied. "This is not a guy — I don't think this is a guy that they want to take on publicly, which is why, you know, even after he made the recommendation that they would do it privately or publicly — Comer made that recommendation you know — he melted like a little snowflake when Hunter actually took him up on it and said, 'Okay, I will come testify publicly."'
