‘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."

The Trump administration is frantically looking for a way to clean up the murky green Reflecting Pool, according to a report by MeidasTouch News.

According to an internal email obtained by MeidasTouch, the Trump administration has elevated the clean-up to a "regional and national priority" and is seeking volunteers to help save the Reflecting Pool before July 4.

Despite Trump's $14 million renovation project, the Reflecting Pool has been coated with a mucky green algal bloom since last week, and workers have been trying to clear it out.

National Park Service employees were informed that officials are actively working on "critical pre-July 4th operational needs" like "scrubbing and pump-out operations," according to the email.

The email also asks employees to work 12-hour shifts beginning this week and throughout the weekend, MeidasTouch reported.

President Donald Trump erupted in a profane outburst at the G7 Summit in France when asked to compare his Iran agreement with former President Barack Obama's Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA.

While sitting beside Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Trump claimed Obama bribed Iran with $1.7 billion in cash flown on a Boeing 757, falsely stating Iranians mocked Obama. He asserted his deal was superior, though he has refused to disclose its details publicly.

Commentators, like political scientist and former diplomat Michael McFaul, highlighted that Obama's JCPOA prevented Iranian nuclear weapons without military conflict or massive spending.

Veteran journalist John Harwood suggested, "Trump is tormented by jealousy of a superior human being," adding, "Obama's superiority, as a president and a person, hurts Trump especially badly because he's a huge racist and Obama is black."

The incident sparked widespread criticism on social media regarding Trump's fitness for office and his erratic behavior on the global stage.

President Donald Trump's administration admitted to Congress that Iran was still directly involved in financing terrorist activity, at exactly the same time the president was planning to give them money, Punchbowl News reported on Wednesday.

According to the report, the State Department "told Congress that Iran’s oil exports are a primary revenue source for the regime’s funding of terrorist activities — just hours after the United States and Iran electronically signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to lift oil sanctions."

This 515-page report, which detailed U.S. efforts against international drug trafficking, indicated that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) “controls significant portions of the domestic economy.” The report continued that “Iran’s oil and petroleum exports are a primary source of revenue for its armed forces, terrorist partners and proxies. The majority of Iran’s oil transactions are conducted by illicit networks.”

All of this follows reporting that a key obstacle to Trump's Iran deal is the difficulty of delisting IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO), which is in theory required for the full-scale sanctions relief the administration is promising.

Legislation passed by Congress in 2022 about the Ukraine war contained a provision requiring that any U.S. intelligence that Iranian drones were attacking Americans would prohibit the IRGC from being delisted as an FTO for four years. Per Punchbowl's Andrew Desiderio, "Last April, the State Dept formally told Congress that the IRGC had indeed attacked Americans with drones."

The memorandum with Iran "also sets up a $300 billion 'reconstruction fund' that many Republicans believe will inevitably be used for terror financing," noted the report, as well as allowing "the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran to direct where much of that funding goes."
