Watch congressman nail GOP's double standard on Hunter Biden conviction
Democrats aren’t going to let Republicans get off easy with their hypocrisy on Hunter Biden’s felony conviction. During the GOP-led House Rules Committee meeting Tuesday, Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland called out the difference between the GOP’s response to the convictions of Hunter Biden and Donald Trump. “Compare and contrast the difference in reaction between the Republicans and the Democrats,” he said. “The Republicans are attacking our entire system of justice and the rule of law because they don't like the way that one case came out, whereas the son of the President of the United States is prosecuted, and I don't hear a single Democrat crying foul.” Raskin provided a simple explanation as to why Democrats aren’t complaining, screaming, and attacking the court system in the wake of Hunter Biden’s conviction. “We believe in the rule of law. We believe in the justice system, and we stand by it,” he said. YouTube Video Hunter Biden was just convicted of every single count that was brought against him by the U.S. Department of Justice. I've not heard a single Democrat anywhere in the country cry, fraud, cry fixed, cry rigged, or cry kangaroo court, or any of the many epithets that our colleagues have mobilized against the U.S. Department of Justice and our federal court system—despite the fact that Donald Trump was not even tried in federal court. That was at the state level. And they pretend to support state prosecutors and state judges. But then they attribute it to the federal government and they say rigged, fixed, kangaroo court, and so on. You don't hear a single peep out of any Democrat saying that. Why? We believe in the rule of law. We believe in the justice system, and we stand by it. And you know what? Hunter Biden had every right and benefit that Donald Trump had. He had the right to a presumption of innocence. He had a right to counsel, which he exercised like Donald Trump did. He had a right to a jury of his peers, and he had a right to a unanimous verdict. And in both cases, a jury unanimously found against the defendant on all counts—in both cases. And compare and contrast the difference in reaction between the Republicans and the Democrats. The Republicans are attacking our entire system of justice and the rule of law, because they don't like the way that one case came out, whereas the son of the United States is prosecuted, and I don't hear a single Democrat crying foul. Now, both Hunter Biden and Donald Trump can afford themselves, have every right of appeal that there is. And we stand by the appellate system. But I think, you know, it's just outrageous to see the way that our colleagues turn on the rule of law and the system of justice. And it's a profoundly dangerous thing that we witness now. Donald Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records on May 30. What are potential voters saying about this historic news? And what is the Biden-Harris campaign doing now that the “teflon Don" is no more? Embedded Content Campaign Action
