Demonstrating their consideration to People’ high points, Home Republicans introduced on Wednesday they may launch an investigation into the location of 1 apostrophe in a transcript of remarks President Joe Biden gave to progressive group Voto Latino this week.
On the video name, Biden slammed Donald Trump’s Nazi rally at Madison Sq. Backyard, the place racist comic Tony Hinchcliffe referred to as Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.”
“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s—his—his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American,” Biden informed Voto Latino.
Republicans shortly jumped on Biden’s stutter, arguing that there must be no apostrophe within the phrase “supporters,” as a result of they hope to conjure up the identical cacophonous information cycle as Democrat Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables” comment in 2016.
This led to Chairwoman of the Home Republican Convention Elise Stefanik and Chairman of the Home Oversight Committee James Comer sending a letter on Wednesday demanding that “the White House retain and preserve all documents and internal communications regarding President Biden’s statement and the release of the inaccurate transcript,” citing their committee’s energy to “investigate ‘any matter’ at ‘any time’ under House Rule X.”
Shockingly, the truth that Trump has used the antisemitic trope of calling his critics “vermin” and just lately described the US as a “rubbish can” didn’t register with Stefanik or Comer. Neither did this:
Since Vice President Kamala Harris turned the Democratic nominee for president, the Home GOP has continued to do nothing to repair any of the myriad issues they declare to care about. As an alternative, they’ve skilled their weaponized committees at Harris and her operating mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
This has included a relentless barrage of calorie-free investigations into the “border crisis,” an investigation into the federal meals applications in Walz’s residence state of Minnesota, Walz’s navy report, and what Republicans have referred to as Walz’s “long standing connections” to China and the vp.
The GOP has routinely humiliated itself throughout these circus committee hearings, mirroring their fruitless makes an attempt to question Biden for having a son with an habit downside. As quickly because the election wraps up, the probabilities that Stefanik will proceed an investigation into an apostrophe are nil.
