C-SPAN went Skinemax on Wednesday when one member of Congress brandished explicit photos of first son Hunter Biden and another said former President Donald Trump was guilty of causing a “boner.”
The lewd spectacles came as the House Oversight and Judiciary committees separately debated whether to convict Hunter, 53, of contempt for defying subpoenas requiring him to appear on Dec. 13 for a deposition on President Biden’s role. in foreign commercial companies.
“[These are] photographs that Hunter Biden had produced and uploaded to pornographic websites,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said during the Oversight Committee hearing, holding up a poster board with four photos from Hunter’s abandoned laptop.
“And it is marked, these are marked showing proof of [anti-prostitution] Violations of the Mann Act,” Greene said amid a clamor of Democratic objections. “Democrats shouldn’t be offended by blacked out images, they should be offended by real human trafficking.”
One photo showed a woman holding the swollen penis of President Biden’s son, although the actual body part was covered with a black box on the poster.

Hours earlier, in the Judiciary Committee, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), made a Freudian slip by attempting to divert discussion from President Biden’s interactions with associates of his son and brother James Biden from China, Ukraine and others. countries.
“If we’re going to talk about outrageous things that have happened or things that have never happened, let’s talk about the fact that President Trump caused an erection,” the Progressive Caucus chairwoman said, before laughing to indicate that she was wrong.
“Maybe that too!” Jayapal quickly added.
The mistake was previously made by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) ahead of Trump’s Senate trial after the House impeached the 45th president for allegedly inciting a mob of his supporters to storm the Capitol on January 6, 2021 to discontinue certification. of Biden’s victory in the Electoral College.
“I guess you could talk about that, too,” Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.) told Jayapal with a laugh.
“Maybe we should talk about that too,” he responded, before continuing, “the president incited an insurrection…”

Greene previously outraged Democrats by brandishing similar images at a committee hearing in July. In both cases, the actual sexual acts were hidden, even though the context of the photographs made it clear what they depicted.
“It’s not pornography, it’s appropriately redacted evidence,” outraged Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) told Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) on Wednesday.
“This is not ‘The Jerry Springer Show!’ Raskin shouted at one point in response.

The Republican majority on the committee voted to allow the photographs to appear in the official record.
Comer argued that the images were relevant to the impeachment inquiry into alleged Biden family corruption because authorities considered possible sex trafficking charges as part of a long-running investigation, according to two IRS whistleblowers who alleged a cover-up to protect to Joe and Hunter Biden.
Greene said, “I am especially offended by the women on this committee who don’t care about these women’s rights — they are victims of Hunter Biden.”
“If that were in a book, he would censor it,” Raskin exclaimed, “but he wants to publicize it through the House of Representatives.”

During the debate, Raskin said he would like access to Hunter’s laptop files, which have been in the FBI’s possession since 2019 and whose contents were first reported by The Post in late 2020 and published in searchable form. in 2022 by the conservative non-benefit Marco Polo.
“Will you make the laptop available to Democrats so we can see it?” Raskin asked, adding, “We don’t know who took those photographs.”
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) chimed in: “I can give you a copy,” citing Marco Polo’s release of the records.
“It would probably be something good to read,” Comer chimed in, adding, “You spent a lot of time researching the former president and you haven’t spent any time on this. “You are all three or four steps behind.”
Later, Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) attempted to redirect the hearing to focus on Trump by brandishing a large photograph of the former president with the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
When Republicans objected to that image, Raskin responded: “Would you accept a pornographic photo?”
