The GOP now wants to investigate Walz

Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) on Friday announced that he is opening an investigation into Walz’s work related to China, including coordinating student trips, and sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray requesting a swath of documents and any correspondence with Walz related to China.

The FBI and teh administration should tell comer to get fucked. This is just a cheap political stunt. Maybe instead the FBI should just arrest Comer for being a doucebag

He took his students to Tiananmen Square and educated them about the brutality of the Chinese Communist Party. He also has advocated for American business interests.

Republicans hope to smear Governor Walz by tying him to Communist China. The truth is, while he loved the Chinese people, he was deeply critical of their government's practices.

Obviously there are a lot of serious issues that need to be investigated by the usual klown parade.
Don't forget that Wray is one of the Klowns.

...that's not what they want to do.

That's not what they do. They run a perpetual campaign against whoever they fear. Calling this an investigation is like calling McCarthyism a fact-finding effort.

I fully expected the repugs to start an investigation into Walz.
If they have the House, the repugs do this for every Democratic candidate.
They're a sack of butt-holes. It's what they do.
And, like clockwork, when the election's over, the hearings stop.
They make no attempt to make it less obvious.
What blows my mind is that it took this long to start up their sham Walz hearings.
It's nice to know they're poorly organized.
These are the people who think it's a good idea to run their tRumpy ads before Meidas Touch content on YouTube.
Great waste of money.
I let the ads run on mute.
That way tRumpies get charged more for the ad.

Ya get right on that AFTER ya “take a look” at 10 million from China and 2 Billion from Saudie.

You'd think the MAGAt faithful would get bored with the reality TV show that is the bumbling GOP Congressional hearings. Perhaps they have, I haven't seen the "ratings." MAGAGOP voters have the attention span of a goldfish. I guess as long as the press keeps covering them GOP politicians think it's working. How typically dull and unimaginative.

The bootlicking waterboys arrive, ready to demean their offices and abuse their positions of public trust.

What a shameful display of corruption.
