White House mocks GOP’s impeachment hearing as ‘flop’: ‘Womp Womp’

The Biden White House mocked House Republicans‘ impeachment hearing “flop” on Friday morning in a brief statement titled “Womp Womp.”

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and other Republican lawmakers held their first impeachment hearing on Thursday, which Democrats said failed to produce any direct evidence implicating President Joe Biden.

BIDEN IMPEACHMENT: GOP WITNESS SAYS HOLDING A VOTE ON OPENING INQUIRY IS ‘BEST PRACTICE’

Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University law professor called to testify by Republicans, said on Thursday he believes it is a “best practice” to hold a floor vote on opening an impeachment inquiry.

“House Republicans tried to plow ahead with their debunked conspiracy theories — even when confronted by their own witnesses conceding there isn’t evidence to warrant impeachment — and, in the process, revealed just how divorced from reality this partisan stunt is. Don’t just take it from us — Comer’s hearing got widely panned by everyone from Fox News anchors to fact-checkers to Republican lawmakers and more,” White House spokeswoman Sharon Yang countered Friday morning.

Yang’s statement cited negative news coverage of the House hearing from 16 news outlets, including Fox News, fact-checking assertions made by some of the Republican lawmakers.

“Perhaps Comer should spend less time on Fox and Newsmax falsely asserting that the ‘evidence is overwhelming’ that the ‘president is compromised’ and ‘should be treated like a criminal’ and more time focusing on issues that actually matter to the American people,” Yang added.
