'Malignant Clown!' Hakeem Jeffries Absolutely Nukes James Comer in Heated Rant Over Biden Autopen

Source: MEDIAite

Oct 28th, 2025, 4:23 pm

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) went off on Rep. James Comer (R-KY) on Tuesday, saying the head of the House Oversight Committee is a “malignant clown” whose priorities are completely out of whack.

Jeffries skewered his fellow congressman when he was asked during a Washington, D.C. press conference for his reaction to Attorney General Pam Bondi saying the Justice Department would review ex-President Joe Biden’s use of an autopen to sign legislation.

Bondi’s decision was made right after Comer, as the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, filed a report on Tuesday that urged the DOJ to “conduct a review of all executive actions” by Biden during his time in office, considering his “cognitive decline.”

Jeffries listened to the question, finished taking a sip from his water bottle, and then skipped past Bondi and right to bashing Comer over it. “The so-called chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer, continues to behave like a malignant clown. You can’t point to a single thing that he’s actually done to make life better for the American people,” Jeffries said.

There's no point in being civil to our political enemies, anymore---that ship sailed several months ago. We're in a battle to save what remains of a badly-damaged democracy, and the gloves need to come off, immediately...

It's juvenile but the response that is called for in these times.

I can appreciate what it took for Congressman Jeffries to digress from his usual calm mature response. But this is what you need occasionally, to be heard above the drone of political speak.

They are not our friends from across the aisle. They are the Felon's drones.

Trump used the autopen at least in his last presidency and most likely this one as well. I thought every president in the last 30 years has used it.

The president said that he pardoned Changpeng Zhao despite not knowing who he is. If he’s lying, that’s a problem. If he wasn’t, it’s worse.

Trump: President Autopen was so far gone, he didnâ€™t even know who he was pardoning.

Also Trump: I canâ€™t explain my corrupt pardon for Changpeng Zhao because I have no idea who he is. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/-dont-know-trump-struggles-defend-one-scandalous-pardons-rcna241547

A week later, the president sat down with CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell for a “60 Minutes” interview, and the correspondent offered Trump another opportunity to explain what appeared to be a brazenly corrupt pardon. After having had a week to think about it, he still didn’t have much of an answer.

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-11-03T00:56:08.488Z

.....The president replied, “OK, are you ready? I don’t know who he is.”

....“Well, here’s the thing, I know nothing about it because I’m too busy,” the Republican replied, adding, “I know nothing about the guy.”....

Complicating matters further, the White House and much of the Republican Party is heavily invested in the idea that Joe Biden was so impaired during his presidency that he signed pardons — or, more to the point, used an autopen to sign pardons — without knowing anything about the beneficiary of the clemency.

Indeed, during the same “60 Minutes” interview, Trump argued, “Biden didn’t have a clue. He illegally used, as you know, a machine, the autopen, in order to give pardons to people.”

The smear is ugly and baseless, but it’s also become a political dilemma of sorts for the president slandering his predecessor. On the one hand, Trump wants the public to believe Biden didn’t know who he was pardoning. On the other, Trump also wants the public to believe that he pardoned Zhao, despite having no idea who he is.

The Republican and his team have had plenty of time to work out a coherent set of talking points on this. That they’ve failed speaks volumes.
