Top Democrat slams MTG for debasing a committee 'to the level of a 1970s-era dime store peep show' by showing nude photos of Hunter Biden

• Rep. Jamie Raskin wants Marjorie Taylor Greene to be publicly admonished.
• Raskin asked House Oversight Chairman James Comer to reprimand Greene for showing partially nude photos that are purportedly of Hunter Biden.

Rep. Jamie Raskin tore into Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for showing Hunter Biden's partially redacted nude photos during a recent hearing, underlining that Democrats' anger over the episode is far from over.

Raskin in a letter to House Oversight Chairman James Comer called for the Kentucky Republican to publicly reprimand Greene. The Maryland Democrat said that if Comer would risk damaging the committee's reputation if he does not take corrective action.

"If Rep. Greene's completely gratuitous and irrelevant display of pornographic images at our televised hearing does not violate the Congressional rules of decorum, then we have no rules of Congressional decorum," Raskin wrote to Comer on Wednesday in a letter that came to light on Thursday.

Otherwise, Raskin cautioned, the panel's reputation "is rapidly being reduced to the level of a 1970s-era dime store peep show."

Comer quickly stated that he would not mete out any punishment. A representative for Greene did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

"It speaks to Ranking Member Raskin's priorities that he is more concerned about Hunter Biden's embarrassment than the young women he involved in his illegal activities," Comer said in a statement. " I hope Ranking Member Raskin will join me in asking the Justice Department about Hunter Biden's Mann Act violations and why the victims' rights have been ignored."

Greene showed blown-up images that she claimed depicted Hunter Biden and sex workers during an Oversight hearing last week. The committee was hearing testimony from two IRS whistleblowers who allege that federal prosecutors are not investigating Biden to the fullest extent possible. The Georgia Republican has alleged based on purported information obtained from Hunter Biden's laptop that he paid sex workers, potentially violating the century-plus old Mann Act.

Rep. Becca Balint, a Vermont Democrat, is pushing a censure of Greene for a litany of past actions, including showing the purported Biden photos.
