'This hearing has turned into absolute chaos': Jim Jordan scolded at 'bananas' committee meeting
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) blasted House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) for focusing on Hunter Biden's laptop.
"Chairman, I've counted in this hearing – and we're only about an hour and a half in – the use of the word laptop about 20 times," Swalwell told Jordan on Wednesday. "That is bananas to me. You all are bringing up FISA, every single question," he said, referring to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
"You're essentially saying to the American people that you're guardians of personal security and privacy, but the 2020 election was determined because the FBI didn't let more Americans see a private citizen's nonconsensual nudes?" he remarked, mentioning a furor made by conservatives when Twitter took down naked pictures of the president's son.
Jordan asked Swalwell to yield for a comment, but the Democratic lawmaker refused.
"Like, you should be a party of ideas, not a party of nonconsensual nudes to help you win an election," Swalwell continued. "We should be talking about the mass shootings that occurred over the last ten days. This hearing has turned into absolute chaos."
