There have been a lot of hearings going on at Capitol Hill latley. There was a hearing concerning Boeing, J6, and a hearing on China in the House.
James Comer is the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee and during a hearing he got into with Democrat Congressman Jamie Raskin.
Comer said, “You all have an obsession with Russia and Trump. It’s disturbing. You all need therapy!”
“No, you’re the one who’s involved with the deranged politician. You need therapy!” Raskin said in reply.

Additionally, we couldn’t talk about hearings without mentioning Republican Senator John Kennedy, who continues to wreck Biden administration officials with one-liners.
A Senate Appropriations Committee held a hearing on Biden’s 2025 budget requests for the Department of Health and Human Services.
HHS Sec. Xavier Becerra was present and gave remarks. During his opening statement, he stated that the Biden regime is committed to protecting “access to reproductive health care, including abortion and contraception care.
Below a ocuple of excerpts of his statement:
The Biden-Harris Administration has taken decisive action to protect access to reproductive health care, including abortion and contraception care. We are also fighting tooth and nail to stop the dismantling of the remaining rights and freedoms available to women across the country.
[…]
Access to reproductive health care, including contraception, is a more urgent issue now than it has been in decades. The budget provides $390 million, a 36 percent increase, to the Title X family planning program to meet the increased need for family planning services, which are essential to ensuring women have control over personal decisions about their own health, lives, and families.
The administration has been trying to find a loophole since the SCOTUS Roe v Wade decision, and Kennedy seemed to realize what Becerra was trying to say.
Kennedy asked him a very simple question.
I asked Sec. Becerra 9 times whether he supported limiting abortions in the third trimester.
Why did he refuse to answer every time?
Because he and radical Democrats believe that a child—even a fully developed child—has no rights. pic.twitter.com/3zTeirCGeI

I asked Sec. Becerra if a healthy mother with a healthy baby boy should be able to have an abortion a week before he’s due because she’d prefer a baby girl.
Becerra: “A woman should have the right to make decisions about her body.” pic.twitter.com/aDO1NwzWPK
