‘A spit in the face’: Dem rips Nancy Mace for accusing Hunter Biden of ‘white privilege'
House Oversight/screen grab

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) blasted Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) after she accused Hunter Biden of white privilege Wednesday.

At a House Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday, Mace called for Biden to be arrested for contempt of Congress.

"You are the epitome of white privilege coming into the Oversight Committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a Congressional subpoena to be deposed," Mace told the president's son.

"This is something that I just can't get over," Crockett later replied. "I can't get over the gentle lady from South Carolina talking about white privilege."

"It was a spit in the face, at least of mine as a black woman, for you to talk about what white privilege looks like, especially from that side of the aisle."

Crockett noted that the Republican Party had a "lack of diversity."

"When you look at the Democrats, they actually look like America," she asserted. "You see, you want to talk about a two-tier justice system, and this is the only time that y'all have ever referenced it, when this country has a history, when it comes to black and brown folk, of having two separate sets of rules."

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) yielded to Mace for a reply.

"I want to say, number one, as a former ranking member of the Civil Rights Subcommittee under Chairman Raskin last session, I take great pride as a white female Republican to address the inadequacies in our country," Mace said. "I come from a district where rich and poor is literally Black and white, Black versus white on most days."

"My largest jail in my district, which is the largest jail in the state of South Carolina, has had seven or eight deaths in the last two years. I was there with our Black and African American council members trying to get the right thing done," she added. "And I've stood with those Black families because I know the differences that they see day to day in their life. And I try to do the best that I can."

A MAGA senator was walloped online after he parroted a head-spinning Trump defense of his dubious Iran deal.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) was asked by CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday about Trump's deal to end the war with Iran.

"Are you okay with Iran having missiles?" Collins asked.

Marshall responded, "I prefer that they not, but they have to defend themselves," echoing Trump, who hours earlier defended letting Iran keep its ballistic missiles because "other people have some."

Commentators online let Marshall have it for rehashing a line that doesn't make much sense and for shamelessly flipping his positions to be in lockstep with Trump.

"This guy will say whatever Trump says on any given day," Ron Filipkowski, the editor-in-chief of the MeidasTouch news network, said. "He has no core beliefs. His political philosophy is whatever position Trump takes today, which may be different from the position Trump had yesterday."

"Trump/flunkie Republican senator says Iran has to be able to defend itself," summarized journalist John Harwood.

"Couldn't we have just come to this conclusion before 13 Americans and thousands of Iranians died for nothing?" asked American Saga writer Zaid Jilani.

"So America's adversaries need to be able to defend themselves against America for America's sake?" wondered Max Meizlish, a senior research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. "Got it. Nothing to see here. Nothing weird going on at all."

Spanish-language journalist León Krauze described the comments as "surreal." Meanwhile, Pradheep J. Shanker, a doctor and contributor for the National Review, simply wrote, "JFC" to express his frustration.

A former top MAGA White House aide warned that Trump is headed for "five-stage denialism" after his biggest flop yet.

Anthony Scaramucci, Trump's former White House communications director, made the prediction during an interview on The Daily Beast Podcast while talking about the recently announced Iran deal.

"You've heard of five-stage clingers? He's gonna go into five-stage denialism," Scaramucci said. "And he's gonna triple down on this. And he's gonna start saying things to people that are absolutely not true."

Scaramucci admitted that "the denialism of Trump" has been "the cornerstone of his success for his entire public life," but said that it's "now what's kicked in."

The deal, which reportedly includes a $300 billion fund for Iran, was an "abject failure," Scaramucci said. "In his quiet moments in his mind, he understands that this has been a disaster."

President Donald Trump got his chosen candidate in the U.S. Senate race in Georgia, where Rep. Mike Collins clinched the nomination last night — and he plans to go all in on supporting him.

In the same post where the president trashed incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff and came up with an obscene nickname for him, Trump vowed that he will be holding campaign rallies in the state to help Collins, saying, "I’ll be doing Big TRUMP Rallies for Mike in Georgia!"

This earned a wave of mockery from commenters on social media, as although Trump narrowly carried the state in 2024, he isn't popular there in current polls, and his presence would likely just drag down the Republican ticket there.

"Jon Ossoff just ordered another bottle of scotch," wrote The Independent's Eric Michael Garcia, adding that Trump rallies would be "Risky no doubt. Collins is already considered very right wing and Trump is underwater in Georgia."

"LMAO yeah sure, bring out the super unpopular president in the middle of a race," wrote the Polling USA account. "Even Bush knew better than this."

"'Please don't throw me in that brier patch.' - Jon Ossoff," wrote Middle Georgia University professor Christopher Lawrence — a reference to the story of Brer Rabbit.

"Ossoff might win by double digits," wrote political analyst Andrew Donaldson.
