RepublicanMarjorie Taylor Greene is facing criticism for showing explicit photographsof United States President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden during a congressional hearing. According to a report by the Independent on Thursday, Greene showed these photographsof Hunter during a Republican-led oversight committee hearing regarding IRS whistleblowers connected to an investigation into him and his father.
Greene held up a series of posters withimages of Hunter nakedand photos of him engaging in sexual acts. Started her questioning in the case, Greene said, "Before we begin, I would like to let the committee and everyone watching at home that parental discretion is advised."
One of the posters said that Hunter recorded multiple sex tapes with a prostitute he had paid for out of his law firm's bank. In another poster, which depicted a blown-up ticket, the Republican pointed to Hunter’s name saying it showed that he purchased the ticket “for this woman,”pointing to a woman’s naked bottom half.
“I would like to point out that if he was purchasing a plane ticket for her for sex and travelling across state lines, do you believe that to be a violation of the Mann Act?” she added.
The criticism and the defence
As Greene went on to show more explicit photos of Hunter, Democrat Jamie Raskin interjected, "Should we be displaying this in the committee?"
