During the House Oversight Committee's hearing featuring testimony from two IRS whistleblowers, Joe Ziegler described just how far Hunter Biden went to take tax deductions:

The deductions for prostitutes were allegedly filed under "consulting" fees.
However, Democrat Rep. Shontel Brown joined her other committee Dems in attempting to run interference for the Bidens by bringing up racial issues (along with Trump of course) instead of anything to do with the actual whistleblower allegations:
Democrats are desperate clowns in #IRSwhistleblower hearing. Rep. Shontel Brown asks Gary Shapley if he knows the rate at which black taxpayers are audited compared to white taxpayers and if this hearing will eliminate “racial disparity”.

Raskin called it an “excellent question”
Rep. Brown stomped on her own rake here.
Shontel Brown is now asking one of the whistleblowers about black taxpayers.

"Do you know the rate of audits on black taxpayers?"

OMG 😂

A solid response from the witness would have been "we were TRYING to investigate the dealings of a privileged white guy to even out those scales of justice but were prevented from doing that so thanks for pointing out part of the problem, congresswoman."

The entire hearing was not a good look for the Democrats, not that they care.
I heard that!

I thought a perfect retort would be “Congresswoman, I thought you would be the last person defending white privilege..”
Brown stepped into a self-own and she (and Raskin) didn't even know it.
We're now going on about incarceration rates for black men while Hunter Biden walks free. They see no irony.

Now moving on to slavery.
One final question:
And how would the IRS know the race of the taxpayer?

Don't bother asking -- there was no common sense or logic taking place on the Dem side of the aisle during this hearing.
